Beautiful Momma Breeze is really popping out the last few days and I can feel babies moving around, my Favorite part! I can't wait for these babies to get here!!💗

02/20/2024

Too cute!! Another past recent pup, was Bella, is getting so big!! These girls are both so beautiful!! Love these pup-dates! Totally made my day💗

"These adorable troublemakers are seriously the best! Maggie loves having a sister. They play, snuggle, and do everything together. So happy to have met you!!"

Look at this sweet birthday boy!! Can't believe he's already 1. He is so unique with his little red spots, I just love it! He's a very muscular guy like dad. Love seeing these past pups🥰

02/15/2024

Momma Nebi is really popping out, we have a few weeks to go. Getting a cute belly. 💗

02/15/2024

Momma Breeze went to the vet to get a puppy count, it's looking like 3 very large babies all shoved up under her ribs, poor thing. I'm hoping maybe another one is hiding in there somewhere. 🤞 I can't wait to see what colors these babies are, it's always a wonderful surprise, should arrive sometime late next week💗 praying all goes well with babies and mom. 🙏🙏🙏

Yes, we are Bred with Heart! Focusing on health and improving the breed. I've been doing this for quite some time, but now I have the certificate, lol. It is quite a process and expense getting these dogs health tested, but so worth it. We strive to improve the health of our crew with each new litter and will continue to do so.

I know there are a lot of people out there looking for a cheap puppy thinking that they saved money, but in the long run, they end up spending way more with health issues or end up putting the dog to sleep or in an animal shelter. It breaks my heart to see and hear all of the horror stories and it's happening way too often.

Having healthy parents sure gives you way better odds in having heathy pups and that should be every breeder's goal (instead of keeping up with the new trend or money maker). Yes outliers can still happen, but that is the rare exception not the norm when you have put the time, research, effort, and money into your dog's pedigree and their health.

No breeder that health tests their dogs and is ethical should feel bad about the prices they are asking (within reason) for their puppies. They've already spent a small fortune just getting to the point of actually having puppies and unfortunately, most people don't understand that. Breeding can be a very stressful, heartbreaking process at times, but hearing from owners of our past pups and the joy the puppy brings to their lives is where the reward is, that never gets old! Plus our dogs are our babies and I can't imagine life without them.

Much love to all of you who have trusted in us over the years, you mean so much to us!🩷

All of these are Kog'Maw babies! Unfortunately, I couldn't get all of his past pups on here, but I have most of them. I was looking back at pictures of past litters and could not believe the incredible variety of colors Kog has produced. I thought I would do a little collage to show what this little guy can do.

He has produced black, black brindle, black with white face, black and white pied, white with freckles, white with red spots, red and white pied, redish brown pied with black, blue, blue with white markings, blue and white pied, lilac, lilac fawn, lilac pied, lilac sable, cream, lilac covered in cream....I think that covers it. You never know what you are going to get with this boy, it's always a surprise, and I love that about him!

This past pup from Rhett and Luce, is doing amazing! Just got this update on her and it makes me amazed and so happy!! I never imagined one of our dogs being able to run more than a mile or 2. Boy have my eyes been opened!

"My girl is my running partner! She runs anywhere from 6-9 miles at a time. I run her 3 times a week. She absolutely loves running and is so good at it! She’s 7 this year and isn’t showing any signs of stopping!"

02/06/2024

Past pup date! Such a handsome boy this guy has turned out to be. Definitely took after Nova! Though both parents are crazy athletic. ❤️❤️❤️

"A few photos of Earl (previously Leo from nova and Diesel)... as you said he had extremely athletic parents and here is Earl on a daily basis out running the golden and obsessed about ball throwing for hours! And he loves his older brother Wally so much.

He plays well with dogs of all sizes and is a cuddler to."

Look at stunning Zelda our red pied momma. Not only does she have gorgeous color, but she has amazing structure. She's a perfect 20lbs. This girl loves riding around in the car. We are hoping for another gorgeous litter this spring with her and Kog.

02/03/2024

Look at these 2 adorable past pups. So fun to see how beautiful they've turned out. ❤️❤️❤️

02/02/2024

Kog getting his nap, he is hilarious, he loves to b***o under the pillows and just poke his head out. 🤣😂

02/01/2024

I woke up to this handsome boy sitting on me with this look, he's ready for the day!❤️

02/01/2024

Haven is our dog 🧲 she loves to lay on the floor with them and they all pile on.

01/31/2024

I don't think I talk about this girl enough. Breeze is a gorgeous tiger brindle pied momma that will be retiring soon. I really hate to retire her, she has the cutest little pied babies, but it's almost that time. She is ready to be done with babies and just be spoiled the rest of her life. Her dad is I think 10 now and still living his best life, she comes from a long line of healthy beautiful show dogs. Also Genetic health tested and clear. Excited to see what we get from this litter with her and Kog. 💕

Who the baby daddy??? Boy do I have a story for you...
I've been wanting to keep a puppy from Nova and a new stud line to add to our program, but have been struggling to find a stud that would compliment her the best and that was completely health tested. I was so excited when I found Cooper .

To make it short, Heather shipped the semen with Shipmate and a storm hit, delaying it for 6 days. She shipped another and got it right after the first one. I started to panic as Nova's progesterone levels rose and thought there was no way the first sample would still be alive. At this point, I decided to go ahead and use Kog as the stud (as I have before) and just wait until fall to try again with Cooper, but to my surprise, Nova's levels raised really slowly buying us time.

When I finally got the package I checked it under the scope to see if any swimmers were still alive and to my shock more than half were thriving. The next package came on time and looked great, and Nova's levels were perfect, so I went ahead and used both samples from Cooper. Due to breeding to Kog before the shipment came, either stud could be a daddy. This is called a dual sire (completely ok with AKC). I will get pups DNA tested through AKC to see what pup belongs to which daddy....

I think it will be fun to make it a little competition to see who's swimmers win! It could be both. I'm excited to find out. Who do you think will win???

01/31/2024

Who wants chicken??? That got their attention🤣😂

01/30/2024

Sweet and sassy🥰

01/25/2024

Life is so goooood! That's Kog’Maw alright🤣

01/25/2024

Sweet Nova, she has these beautiful eyes that search your soul and ears that tell you exactly how she's feeling. This girl was recently bred, we are so excited to get another litter from her, I will be posting more info on this litter soon.

01/23/2024

Look at this beautiful birthday girl!! There are a bunch from this past litter celebrating the big 2. So awesome!! Love these pics!🥰

01/21/2024

Nebi and Andi catching a nap, I just love when they put their paws under their chin, so adorable🥰

01/19/2024

It's my lucky day! Getting more past pup updates. These brothers from Breeze are just adorable. I love their structure, looking amazing! I'm so happy they are all doing so well.❤️

"Hey Jo!! Just thought I'd send another update on my two sweet boys. We all moved to Seattle in august and so far they love it and being in such a dog friendly city (they weren't the biggest fans of the snow but at least they look adorable in their puffer coats). They are the cutest duo - playful and so sweet but also totally brothers who get on each other's nerves sometimes😂 Having the two of them with me in a new city has been the best part of this journey and I can't believe they'll be a year old on Feb 12th!! Hope you and your family are doing well!"

01/19/2024

Wow!! This really made my day! What a Handsome boy he is turning out to be. I just love getting updates on past pups❤️❤️❤️

"Good Morning Jo! Basil (Magneto) sure looks like his Mama in this photo taken earlier this morning. I wasn't expecting his eyes to stay so light, so that's a beautiful surprise! He is so compact and strong. He is doing outstanding! We love him beyond words! I'm already talking about another Frenchie! Lol! I saw the photo of Nova you posted and definitely saw the resemblance! He can already jump so high it is unbelievable! He is incredibly athletic. The Schnauzers are all besties with him too! Just wanted to write and thank you again for the gift of a healthy, gorgeous, fun loving Frenchie. We're hooked!"

01/17/2024

Jail-bird Nebula is sure feeling sorry for herself. She likes to give us this look anytime she is on the other side of the gait. She knows how to really make you feel sorry for her😉💗

01/16/2024

Looks like I forgot to post this. Nova had all of her pre- health check ups, (something I do on all our adults before considering breeding them), but now it's official! She has her official OFA testing completed which includes, hips, heart, patellas, and eyes. Her spine was also looked at. She has also been DNA genetic health tested for common Frenchie disorders such as CMR1, HUU, JHC, DM, AND CDPA, which she is negative for. She's not only healthy, but also very affectionate and loyal. We are hoping for a beautiful litter this spring.

I get a lot of questions about how I train my dogs, I don't profess to be a professional trainer, but I thought I would do a video of what Kog and I have been working on. It was a bit harder than I thought trying to work the camera and grab the leash or distractions, but Kog was great about it. Hopefully you can see what's going on. Unfortunately, I haven't been as consistent as I would like to have been with Kog's training with puppy distractions, but he has been such a joy to work with and learns so quickly. I trained for obedience shows when I was a teen and showed my Samoyed back then. I don't use treats for obedience training, I use the show what you want repeatedly, be consistent, and praise method. Kog has learned the basic training at this point, heel (on left side head stays right in front of your leg, with a loose leash), sit, then automatic sit any time you stop, sit and stay with distractions, down and stay with distractions, come, auto sit in front and then finish back to your left side to heel again. The last step is stand for examination by a judge and we have not started that yet. We still have a lot of training to perfect in the house as well, especially when strangers come to the house, but we are getting there, slowly and surely. I'm taking this time before having pups again to get these basics down really well so he'll be ready for the next steps this summer. Hope this video helps.

The Grand Finale! Now for some new tricks....

Trying some dual tricks with these 2. ❤️

Kog my dancing boy, he cracks me up, there is never a dull moment, so handsome and sweet🩷 He is take coming along with his training, I'll have to post some videos, he's just so smart.

Nebula is so willing to try things, I love that about her. It's not always perfect, but you get the idea. 🥰

Mr Kog has a few tricks up his sleeves. He does the cutest beg pose ever and gives a pretty good high 5 or 15, lol. Love this little guy and his spunk ❤️

Our Andi girl can catch that vitamin pretty well. She is such a fun girl, she talks with her eyes and is very interested in whatever you are doing.🥰

We've been working on a few fun tricks at our house for awhile with our adults. So I decided I should show what we've learned so far. Nebi/Nebula spinning for us. She loves doing tricks and has been so easy to train. We are still working on training, when pups come that's usually when we get off track, lol. I'm not sure training is truly ever finished. I don't typically give my dogs treats, but I do use their vitamins as incentive sometimes for tricks. For Training I use the reward/consequence method, another name is positive reinforcement method, which I find works much better for frenchies than treats. When you don't have the treats, they know.... they are so smart!!

Skye is such an awesome momma @morningskyeretrievers these babies are getting so big and doing so well. 6 girls and 1 boy!! Ready to go home after Christmas. You will be able to pick up these pups in Nebraska and Colorado. Reserve your pup today!

This is how excited Colossus was to see his daddy before he went to his new home. I love how sweet and patient Kog is with him. I'm finding cute pictures and videos of these babies that I forgot to post.

A quick video of Polaris. She is so precious, love her personality 💕

Kog being so sweet to Cyclops the blue pied and Sonny the blue brindle

Sonny, the blue, and Colossus, the lilac sable, are really loving that toy. They had so much fun together before Sonny went to his furever home. 🥰

Sonny (blue brindle male) and Cher (solid black female) absolutely love playing together. They are the last pups from Rhett, who is now retired. They are just perfect and so playful.

Polaris (pink collar- solid blue) and Mystique (green collar-blue brindle) are like identical twins. The only difference is some brindle and a white mark on Mystiques chest.. they are the same size, shape, head, face, and body. They are both amazing and unbelievably affectionate.

These boys are having so much fun playing around. Magneto (solid blue) and Cyclops (blue pied) are so fun and sweet. I love the floppy ears. They aren't loving the temp collars too much, they keep scratching at them.

Pheonix (the lighter one) and Colossus( darker) playing around. These 2 are too adorable.

And my personal favorite, you gotta give props to that cowboy, he went through a lot, but he's still smiling. Kog's technique of trying to rub him off didn't quite work out. 🤣😂🤣
