Just wanted to share an update, we found our sweet girl a wonderful home!❤️

🚨Rare Opportunity🚨

This sweet girl is Freya, she is 10 months old and from our Marvel litter. Due to life circumstances out of her new family’s control, she came back to us a couple months ago.
We had every intention of keeping her, my plan was to train her for Schutzhund (rigorous dog competition for those that do not know). However I became pregnant, which would have not been an issue, but I’m constantly sick and can’t get out with her to give her the time she needs for training and exercise. We sent her to a board and train facility that specializes in working dogs (dual and single purpose) so that there would be no lapse in her training.
It is with a heavy heart that I post this girl, but I want to do what is best for her right now. ❤️

⭐️According to our trainer she has SAR potential, protection and bite work potential, and sport potential.

⭐️ She will need to go to an extremely active home that will keep up with physical and mental stimulation or someone interested in dog competitions.

⭐️She has completed basic training and has started on advance commands. She is trained with an ecollar.

⭐️ She absolutely LOVES water! She’s gone kayaking with me and I take her swimming.

⭐️ She has very steady nerves, we did sound desensitization so she’s been introduced to thunderstorms, gunshots and fireworks.

⭐️Very good with adults, children, and other big dogs. I am unsure of how she would be with cats or small dogs.

Please private message me for more information, price and for our adoption application.

Excuse me for not posting with our current litter (due to surprising, yet extremely exciting circumstances🤰🏽)! We’ve been keeping up with our families and of course giving our puppies and dogs the proper care they deserve, but haven’t been doing much extra.

However, I just wanted to share these cuties before they head to their new homes in less than two weeks!!🥰

LuLu had five beautiful puppies this time! They are such a loving bunch. I can’t wait to see how they thrive in their forever homes with their new families. ❤️🏡

Our Marvel litter hit the 6 month mark this July, which means their 1st heat cycle is right around the corner (for the females).
It’s important to know what to expect and how to properly care for your sweet pup.🥰

This article is an informative quick read on the process, possible behaviors, and care tips!
I highly encourage our families and other new puppy owners to check it out, along with looking into other videos/articles on dog heat cycles. 🐾

The best advice I can give is to be patient, this will be a new experience and their hormones will be fluctuating. Along with being diligent to protect your sweet girl from accidental pregnancy.

Please feel free to comment or DM with any questions.😊

Not sure how to handle your dog's heat cycle? This is what you should know.

It is officially confirmed, Lucy is pregnant and the puppies are developing normally!! The litter is expected to be due around the week of August 10th! 🎉💕

Our next vet visit will be at 6 weeks of pregnancy to check fetal development, heath of momma and get an approximate litter size!🐾

We currently have 6 people on our waitlist for this litter! If you’d like to join the waitlist (or for future litters), please fill out an application via GoodDog, or I'm happy to schedule an interview over the phone. I will not be able to accept any deposits without one of those being completed.

The deposit is non-refundable with the exception of death of a puppy. Which I pray that we never have to go through that! Or for example, if you are desiring a male and she only has females then I will happily return your deposit or you may choose transfer it to our next litter.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! 😊

🐾Pupdate🐾

I just wanted to share a few of the most recent photos we’ve received of our puppies from our Marvel litter!😊🥰

At 17 weeks old we’re so happy to see all of our puppies flourishing in their new homes! We’ve had one already complete training classes (which the owners posted about on our page). All families have been sending in fantastic reports about their puppies progress with training, socialization and becoming part of the family. ❤️

Also, I’m excited to have been told by multiple families that the sound desensitization worked very well! The puppies are unbothered and relaxed during thunderstorms!🎉

I will be posting recent photos from our first litter that I’ve received here shortly. 😊

03/28/2022

Still waiting on some pictures but I wanted to go ahead and share. I’m thankful that all of your puppies have found such loving homes! We’ve gotten great feedback from families that overall the puppies are doing well!

I am thoroughly enjoying all the photos and videos they are sending and seeing how they are growing and adjusting. 🥰

Also I want to say thank you to all of families for taking such good care of the puppies and for making them a part of your family!💕

This is why it is so important to deeply research the breed you’re interested before committing and bringing one home. A movie or seeing a dog on the street will not tell you how much mental and physical training/exercise that dog will need.
Doing your research can save the dog from having to be re-homed or put down and can save your family from a potentially disastrous/stressful situation.

I’ve seen others posting about the new Channing Tatum movie “Dog” so I wanted to put my thoughts out there. Every time a dog breed is featured in a film, there is a surge in ownership of that breed, without understanding of what that breed is. Malinois are serious dogs, and need a LOT of training. They are amazing, intelligent, driven dogs, but not for most homes. If you see the movie and think, “ it’d be really cool to have a dog like that,” just don’t. You’ll be in over your head, and with a Mal that can be dangerous. So appreciate them, read books about all the cool stuff they have done in war zones, but don’t think that translates to a dog that is content to sleep on the sofa 22 hours a day. As an example of this I present the photo of 2 kitted out special forces soldiers in training, and the most dangerous weapons these guys are carrying wear basket muzzles.

We have 4 four beautiful females from our Marvel litter still seeking their FURever homes!🏘💕

Each of them have distinct personalities starting to bloom! They are so active, playful and loving. After playing they enjoy napping in our laps.🥰

According to the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test, two of these pups have service dog potential!

Please DM with any questions.😊

5 weeks!! 🥳

They are so active and growing so much! Their ears are starting to come up, with one pup having them all the way up. 😍

We’re starting to introduce new sounds for their desensitization. Today I played a busy street soundtrack for them while they ate. They didn’t even seem phased.

We had their first day outside this past week. They loved exploring our front yard with their momma. This week I’m going to let dad out with them too. 🥰

02/08/2022

We’ve got our first set of ears completely up!!😍

This may or may not be accurate...😂😂🐾

Great plan! 🥰

Woof Woof

Yesterday marked 4 weeks for our sweet pups!! 😍They have grown so much in a week already, you can really see the difference from last weeks photos.

6 of our puppies have found their forever homes!! 🏘🎉

We have 4 females still looking for the right families. They are the first 4 pictured.💕

🐾Pupdate🐾

Yesterday they were introduced to moistened dog food and water. They didn’t hesitate to dig in! lol They will continue nursing until Lucy weans them.

The pups are doing very well with the potty area (litter training). They are having a few accidents, but most are going straight to the potty area to use the restroom!

They are starting to play with their toys and puppy bones. The favorite being a tug toy of course. Also, with them gaining control over their back legs, they will be taking their first trip outside in a few days! 🌴☀️

01/27/2022

How is it possible that our Marvel litter is already 3 weeks and 2 days old!? 😭💕

There are still 5 females looking for their forever homes!🏘 Please DM or look at a previous post for information on how to apply for one of our puppies.

🐾PUPDATE🐾

They are becoming so much more active and roughhousing with each other. One has began to show an interest in a tug toy I have on the side of the kennel.

Litter training is coming along very nicely! A majority of them are beginning to go to the litter area when they need to potty. There are still a few accidents in their bedding, however, we except them to be 90% house trained by the time they go to their new families! 🎉

Two weeks and two days old!😍🥰
It’s hard to believe how fast our little pups are growing!
5 of our 10 have found their forever homes!🏘🎉
They are starting to walk around (although still very wobbly), they are finding their voices (the cutest little howls, growls, whines and barks), and they are beginning to play with each other!💕

01/18/2022

Our puppies are two weeks old today!! 🎉🥰 (Pictures to come later today!)

I just wanted to share an important video clip of our sound desensitization. For about an hour each day I play thunderstorm & rain sounds, gradually increasing the volume each day, whenever they begin to nurse. In the video you can see that most of the pups have finished nursing and are fast asleep, unbothered by the storm noises!

I will start to add in other noises that dogs normally fear, like construction, equipment, fireworks and gunshots. This will continue the entire 8 weeks they are with me until they are ready to go to their forever homes!🏘

01/12/2022

So thankful to announce that two of our pups have found their forever homes!💕

We have 8 puppies left from our Marvel litter still waiting on the right family. Please check out our page at GoodDog to see/learn about both parents as well as myself and our program. If you’re interested, that is where you can fill out an application as well.

It was a quick trip but a great one! Thankful we were able to help our friends move into their new home. Lucy thoroughly enjoyed their yard! Lol 🌳☀️😊 The view from their back deck was breath taking!
