☕️🌴 Happy 6 weeks to the Café Isla litter 🌴☕️

2 ♀️ still 👀

Time is going by so fast with these nuggets! As I said before, these puppies have been super easy. They did take to food a little slower than Rylee's litters (but we all know that Rylee's babies are VERY food motivated), but they have gotten the hang of litter training faster than the others, which I'll take any day because cleaning doesn't take forever 🤣

Because of the dockdiving trial next weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun), the temperament test will not be done until Monday! As the Volhard Aptitude Test goes, the tester and the scorer will be two people they have never met before, and it also will be taken place in an environment they have never been before. So, on Monday is when we will go over which puppy is going to who!

We still have two spots open for females! If you are interested or have any questions, please let me know! 🐾✨️

Weekly weigh in:
Breve (Seafoam) - 8lbs 3.2oz
Komodo (Maroon) - 9lbs 15.1oz
Bean (Sand) - 8lbs 1.1oz
Frappé (Turquoise) - 8lbs 4.6oz

🫶🏾🥳 Rylee is confirmed pregnant 🥳🫶🏾

Parents are health tested; sire is titled in conformation, BH, and IGP. Puppies will be raised with ENS, ESI, Puppy Culture, then temperament tested at 7 weeks.

This litter will produce medium to medium-high energy with medium-to-high drive, medium-to-high prey drive, very high ball drive, good food drive. Puppies may be suitable for sports, show, therapy, and service work; as well as be amazing active companions. These puppies will have some spice to them! Experienced and/or sport homes are preferred.

Expecting sables, black and reds, recessive blacks, and dominant blacks. All long coats.

If you have any questions, please let me know ❤️

They are doing wonderful with their journey of desensitizing them to various noises! They don't care about pans banging/dropping on the floor, fireworks, vacuums, thunder, lawnmowers, high velocity dryers, leaf blowers, dremels, etc.

Socializing is incredibly important to us! It's our job as breeders to make sure they are given the very best start in life before going to their new homes. There's nothing better than a well-rounded and sound puppy ❤️

Happy 5 weeks to the Café Isla litter ☕️🌴

We still have a couple spots open for females. Their temperament test is in 2 weeks and they'll be getting their litter exam in 3 weeks! ❤️

05/11/2024

In light of recent news (If you are not friends with me on my personal account, here's what has transpired a few days ago: we lost Kodiak (Fern)), instead of skipping Rylee's heat, we have decided to breed her to Jack a couple days ago.

We will confirm pregnancy in 30-33 days. If she did take, she will be due around July 11th!

Parents are health tested; sire is titled in conformation, BH, and IGP. Puppies will be raised with ENS, ESI, Puppy Culture, then temperament tested at 7 weeks.

This litter will produce medium to medium-high energy with medium-to-high drive, medium-to-high prey drive, very high ball drive, good food drive. Puppies may be suitable for sports, show, therapy, and service work; as well as be amazing active companions. These puppies will have some spice to them! Experienced and/or sport homes are preferred.

Expecting sables, black and reds, recessive blacks, and dominant blacks.

Genetically speaking (if you're a genetic freak like me), these are possible:

Aw/a, Aw/At, At/a, or a/a

Happy 4th Birthday to the foundation female of our program: Rylee!! 🥹🥳

She is my whole existence.

All Riled Up vom Crescent TKI - 4 years

03/22/2024

Beautiful Demi is doing wonderful with her training! She is our keeper from our very first litter (Niko x Rylee). She's high energy (though I think as she matures, she'll chill out more) and high drive with lots of spice. Her handler focus is incredible and her food drive is still insane 🤣

Due to her high food drive, impulse control around food has been the hardest thing to teach her and we still struggle with it sometimes. We worked on some impulse control around some chews at PetSmart and after one verbal correction, she left them alone and was able to keep her attention on me without being distracted by the chews.

You have to make it to where you're more interesting than their distraction ❤️

So incredibly proud of this big puppy as well as her littermates 🫶🏿

We will be ultrasounding Java on the 25th to confirm pregnancy! If she took, she will be due early May. We are beyond excited for this pairing! Our waitlist is still open! 🐾💕

We are expecting medium energy with medium drive, medium prey drive, high ball drive, clear heads, great structure; expecting service, therapy, show, and sport prospects. Parents are health tested and sire is titled in conformation and IGP. Puppies will be raised with ENS and Puppy Culture, then temperament tested at 7 weeks with the Volhard Aptitude Test.

Ash (Red Collar) will potentially be leaving to his new home this weekend! 🥺🥺

We have two girls still 👀 for couches:

Sequoia (Magenta):
Medium energy with medium drive, medium-to-high prey drive, high food drive, medium tug drive, medium ball drive. Very sweet and a big kissy face! Would make a great family companion but also possibly suitable for sports, conformation, and therapy work.

Madrona (White):
Medium-to-high energy with medium drive, high food drive, high prey drive, high tug drive, medium ball drive. She's an adventurous, independent girl! She's a little spicy 🌶. Would make a great active companion for an experienced owner but also possibly suitable for sports and conformation.

The last three still looking for a couch! They are ready now. Up-to date on vaccines and dewormer; have had their vet exam and are completely healthy! If you have any questions, please reach out ❤️

My ball fiend ❤️

Java is a weirdo! 🤪❤️

As a breeder, it is so important to get your puppies as ready as they can be before they go to their new homes. Not just stick them in a box and call it good. These girls have been hearing all sorts of loud noises since they've been able to hear. They're neutral to vacuums, fireworks, thunder, lawnmowers, dryers, dogs barking, etc. They are not startled by anything. Good genetics go a long way but so does proper early socialization ❤️ I want these girls to be given the very best start in life! A couple of these beauties are still looking for their families! Puppy application: https://form.jotform.com/223328423391049 A video of them today with sudden loud noises (aka dropping a book on the ground)
