Soaking up these moments with my girls

09/23/2023

I can’t believe these two lovely ladies are still looking for the perfect homes. They are just turned 4 months old, are fully vaccinated, started on basic training, crated trained & doing great with potty training.

Yellow Girl is very affectionate, confident & handler motivated. She loves to be with her people and would do well in an active pet home who enjoys spending time with her.

White Girl has very solid nerves, loves to work with her handler and could make a great service or sport dog prospect. She would also do well in an active pet home with an experienced handler that is knowledgeable on working breeds.

Please reach out if you are interested in finding out more information on these girls or you would like to complete a puppy application.

These 3 beautiful girls are growing up fast and looking to find their forever homes! They are 15 weeks old, 80% potty trained, crate trained, started on basic training, raised on puppy culture, temperament tested, almost fully vaccinated, & come from health tested and titled lines. It doesn’t get much better than that! Whoever gets these girls is going to be incredibly lucky.

Pink Girl:
She is such a sweetheart, is laid back but playful when it’s time to be. She would do great with a first time dog owner that is educated on working breeds or an experienced handler.

White Girl:
She has very solid nerves, medium drive, loves to train and would excel at having a job to do or could make a great service or sport dog prospect. She will need an experienced handler that is knowledgeable on working breeds.

Yellow Girl:
She is very affectionate & handler motivated. She would do well in an active home who enjoys working with her.

2023 recap 🥹

Soaking up these moments with my girls

Willow and her daughters 🥰

Barrier challenge from today. This activity is a great way for the puppies to learn how to problem solve, gain confidence and work through frustration.

Our B litter spent their morning listening to firework noises on the speaker. As you can see they couldn’t care less. It’s activities like this that help create dogs with sound nerves and of course good genetics.

Dinner time 😋

Puppies first time trying mush at 3 weeks old!

What a year 2022 has been. As I reflect on this past year I am beyond grateful for all of the love and support I have in my life. It definitely has been one of the toughest years of my life, but I have learned and grown from it. I am going into the new year stronger and hopeful for all the opportunities the future has to offer.

Griswold having some fun in the snow! A litter - Willow x Aaligator

Well sadly winter is officially here, we have a winter storm warning today. At least the dogs are enjoying it 😅🥶

😎

We are so happy to be training outside again. Time to put in some work!

Training with Storm at Lowe’s

Some training today with Storm at Lowe’s! There were lots of people, strange noises, and other dogs around. For not being in this environment often he did great, we are going to make this a more regular training place to help work on his focus.

10 weeks old and already mastering his new tricks!

Mama Willow

Willow absolutely adores her babies and is teaching them so many great social skills. She is so gentle and patient with them 🖤

Temperament testing

We temperament test all of our puppy at 7 weeks of age. This is crucial part of what helps us place each puppy in the home that’s the best fit for not only them but their new family. At 7 weeks of age the puppies temperaments are in full effect and what you see is what you are going to get, you can of course train a dog but you can not change their temperament. Our breeding program is all about setting our dogs up for success and because of that we are not a breeder that just sells souly off of color or cuteness of a puppy. So much time and effort goes behind what we do and we like to help guide puppy buyers to their perfect match. If you are interested in learning more about how our temperament testing works I have placed a link below. For reference the puppy in this video scored mostly 3’s & 4’s. https://www.volharddognutrition.com/choosing-your-puppy-pat/?fbclid=IwAR2H0LbSc5YNNSHYUCwHv2DLusJjk6N-G9a09BVJ0_AEFh9T35LjFNpS9nU

Playtime with mommy

Willow is such an incredible mother, she loves her babies so much. For being a first time mother she has been absolutely amazing. We could not ask for a better temperament than hers and can’t wait to add a mini version of her to our breeding program in the future 🥰❤️🥰

Puppy Tunnel Fun!

Puppies checking out their fun new tunnel! Nothing phases these babies, they already are showing how solid their temperaments are. One of the most important parts of our breeding program is to produce dogs with solid temperaments, that will be confident in any environment or situation.
