We love to see puppy updates! Elsa did a short board and train with System of a Dog before going to her forever home. She is learning, minding her manners and being a perfect little lady! Thank you for taking great care of her, Karen!

When I met Echo for the first time, she walked right up to me, pushed her head into my chest and sat down. She stayed like that for a long time as I pet her and we got to know each other. I had the name "Echo" picked out for years, and I knew that I had finally found the dog who would be my echo.

The relationship cultivated between handler and dog is the most vital part of owning one. Your dog has to trust you, and believe you. They look to us for direction and affirmation, and we look to them for companionship, love and loyalty.

This relationship is like no other, and this breed is beyond compare. It never ceases to amaze me that an animal can be so intune with their human, and live in such harmony, benefiting each others' lives in countless ways, working side by side.

Echo has helped me raise my babies, just as I've helped her raise hers, and she will forever be my best companion, and perfect echo. 🤎🐾

We want to hear the stories of your amazing doggo! Post it in the comments 😊

She is working on kennel training, potty training, basic commands and manners, and building food drive. She is getting a fantastic foundation to her training and is already learning so quickly. Great work, guys!

It's a big week for E litter! They turned 7 weeks old last weekend and this week they had their vet exam and temperament test, they are all permanently matched to their families and headed to homes this weekend!

This has been an amazing litter to raise and we are blessed by the experience. We have met some amazing families who will be taking these pups home and we cannot wait to continue to hear about their adventures out in the world and the great work they will do!

Happy trails to all of E litter!! ❤️🐾

E litter is 6 weeks old!

These kiddos have been such a fun litter. They are calm, confident, super affectionate and loving, happy, playful and incredibly intelligent.

They have been going on field trips around the farm, playing outside, meeting the animals and adventuring the way puppies love to do. This week has been all about exposures and building their strong nerves.

This week they are pretty reliably using their litter box, they got their nails trimmed, they've had lots of play time with mom and dad and are eating kibble like champs!

Next week the puppies will have their vet visit and temperament testing and then will be off to their homes so soon!

Puppy picks are pretty solid at this point and we are so excited to be able to get these amazing dogs to their families!

It's getting closer to "go-home day" for E litter, and today we got their registration acceptance! These Littles are AKC registered and pedigreed and will be great assets to their new families ☺️

Our family matches are tentatively done, pending their final evaluations.

We are enjoying this litter so much and will be sad to not have them with us anymore, but we are elated that we will be able to share these excellent dogs with families who will cherish them!

These kids have been keeping us so busy!

E litter is 5 weeks old today and they are learning and growing so well! They have started potty training with the Misty Method. This teaches them that there is a place to go potty and helps a ton to ease them into pottytraining when they get home! They have been introduced to puppy kibble and are loving that. They still get plenty of nursing time with mom at this age. They have taken their first trips outside and to meet the animals on our farm. And they've had some play dates with their dad! They are coming out of the "sleepy newborn" stage and are becoming full-fledged and busy puppies! They have all their teeth now and are doing a lot of chewing, exploring, playing with each other and learning about being a dog from the older dogs. So much learning takes place at this age and they are doing amazing!

These pups have incredible temperaments already and are shaping up to be so much like their mom and dad which is so cool because they have phenomenal parents!

We can't wait to have our final picks done and send these babies off to their families in just a few short weeks!!

Hello, from these three-week-old kids!

E litter is busy busy this week. They are romping and playing, chewing on each other, getting their teeth, learning to run, getting more vocal, playing with the big dogs and practicing walking on different floor textures. The pups are still young babies, so they do a lot of sleeping between play sessions.

This week they will be exposed to more noises and animals, as well the litter box! We use the Misty Method for early potty training, which will begin this week.

We sure are enjoying these sweet babies!
