THIS is what we mean by lifetime breeder support. We are ALWAYS happy to take one of our dogs into our home, no matter the circumstance, even if it's only for a few weeks like this. His pawrents get to know their pup is well taken care of while they're away, and we get to get to snuggle with one of our past babies again! It's a win-win!
Huckleberry "Huck" is a little confused, but he's settling in, and we are super excited to be able to cuddle him and play with him. I think Kenna is even more excited to have a littermate to boss around.

All of the puppies have officially found forever homes! It's been a crazy 3 1/2 months but it's been totally worth it to see these puppies blossom and grow!

Every puppy plays differently, and we're figuring out Kenna's style. So far, it's a little strange but EXTREMELY adorable.

Socialization can happen anywhere, even your front yard!There was a party going on across the street so I took the puppies out to see/hear it. They got to see cars, kids, people, and even strollers. They were most interested in why the stroller was making so much noise, though.

Let puppy school begin! We start with walks because loose Leah's walking is the number one problem with people and their pets, so we like to give our "leftover" puppies a headstart until they find their forever homes.
1) We begin inside, going over what "heel" means, along with how to focus and sit.
2) We teach thresholds by opening the front door but NOT letting them through until their name is called, adding increasingly difficult distractions to imitate real situations
3) We continue the obedience and heel work in the front yard so we can prepare their brain for the walk and prevent overexcitement before heading out of the yard.
4) We go on a walk! We keep it short and sweet in the early stages, focusing on heeling, check-ins, and socialization
5) We end with some work in the driveway to get them used to the idea that obedience is expected EVERYWHERE, not just inside the house.

Aster is a really good pup on the leash, just strolls right alongside me the whole way.
300 people, 2 loud speakers, live action and raffles, a LOUD cow bell, shouting, and a 100 people coming up to say hello, and she did FANTASTIC. She was never nervous, followed me around the room, willing to TRAIN even with so many distractions, went up to every table to say hello to new people, and when she was tired, she fell asleep at my feet. THIS is what we breed and raise: working line labradors that can settle into any environment. A dog that's going to take the world in stride and be able to go anywhere with you.

We introduce our puppies to cats pretty early, but that doesnt mean they don't dont remain a mystery! Aster still doesn't know what to think about this fluffy creature, so he gave it some space. Julian (the cat) is a playful, soft cat that doesn't mind puppy antics, making him a good cat to introduce the babies to.

He's a very observant, chill sort of puppy. The kind who would just sit on the patio with you.

Every one of her siblings was outside playing, but she wanted to be in my lap. This is a daily occurrence. She is definitely ready to be away from her littermates and with a family that will give her ALL of the attention she deserves.
