Why Exposure Matters

Building Confidence: Continuous exposure helps puppies build and maintain confidence by familiarizing them with new and potentially challenging situations.

The journey from playful puppy to skilled Service Dog is filled with learning, growth, and the development of crucial skills that will one day empower a veteran or active-duty service member to regain independence and improve their quality of life.

I may have waited excitedly by the door as soon as Reyka’s mom texted me she was on her way over.

I love seeing our past puppies!

As we near closer to our breeding timeframe, it's time for us to evaluate our goals for our 2025 litter. We have two solid male options available, and I would love input from those on our waiting list on what you would like to see.

Our first option would be a repeat breeding between Mokoya and Gvido. Our last litter with Gvido produced a majority of black coats with 100% of the puppies being long coats. Overall I was happy with this cross and the feedback on their temperaments and trainability.

Our other option is the stunning black and red male Jakov. Jakov is a powerful large WGSL and would produce black and red puppies. This cross should produce more stock/plush type coats with a possibility for a few long coats.

Both are very solid WGSL options with a majority of the preference being placed on whether our waiting list has a preference for black long coats (with a lesser possibility for black and reds) vs black/red stock/plush coats (also with a lesser possibility for a few long coats). I’d expect temperaments to be similar with either male while both should produce phenomenal heads.
