Somehow this is comfortable? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Admiral and 5 month old Xipil. 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

My dog is not my child. My dog is not my furbaby.

I am not his mother, I am his trainer. The word trainer is not a bad word, it means leader, supporter,disciplinary…and friend.

My dog is my friend. He is my partner and my companion. To treat him like a child, to infantilize him and make it seem as though he needs my constant coddling or protection, would be unfair to him.

He is an adult carnivore that I have brought into my human world. Because of that it is my responsibility as his owner:

1) To communicate with him in a way he can understand.

2) To provide leadership, discipline and mutual respect.

3) To understand his instincts and needs, and provide appropriate outlets for them.

4) To train him and provide him the skills to function effectively in our human world, including acceptable manners and behaviours including the veterinarian.

Our dogs deserve to be given responsibility and allowed to be adult creatures, not perpetual babies.

Please, don't try to make them tiny humans, they aren't and they don't want to be. Dogs are wonderful because they are dogs. Let them be dogs.

Teach them to be good ones.

Heard from Thor/Bruiser’s owner….(which was Bruiser, then they named him Thor, and then once they got him decided to keep the name Bruiser 🤦🏼‍♀️😂) that he’s doing amazing and such a great puppy. Not one potty accident in the house either! Love when we get these kind of updates 💕

Also wish I could show you the face of this adorable little dogman….but it’s not my kiddo, so I want to protect his little face - but trust me, he’s stinkin’ adorable!!

Xipil - 5 months old

Last puppy left, Xipil, letting a 5lb Yorkie dominate the toy 😂

Luna (was Josie) got herself a Shiba Inu sister today 🥰. It’ll be fun to see what trouble these get into together!!

11/12/2023

Squeeky…….squeeeeeeeeeeeeky.
Riot, litter C

Thank you Cruz Neeley at FidoGo Pet Transport for picking up Thor today! I know his new tiny human in Mississippi is looking forward to meeting his new pup!

If anyone is needing pet transport, Cruz is the way to go! Great guy, great communication and affordable transport prices!

Josie and Xipil - 4.5 months old. Such good, sweet girls still waiting on their forever families.

11/08/2023

3 years ago I sent this beautiful lady a pup via a transport, so we never got to meet face to face. Today I sent little Serenity (Reni) - orange/black collar pup home with Whitney who drove up from Texas for her pup.

I know you’re going to give this girl an amazing family! It was a pleasure getting to finally put a face with the voice on the other end of the line.

11/05/2023

Took the two girls who still need homes out to go play today. It was awesome watching their confidence grow as time went on.

Please wait until age 2 to spay/neuter your dogs!

"The results suggested that … g***d retention during the first 24 months of life—are strongly associated with lifelong avoidance of bilateral CCL rupture…Risk for CCL rupture was not influenced when g***d removal took place after the 24-month developmental period."

CCL injuries are one of the most common causes of pain and arthritis in dogs. Today at 12pm ET we're discussing how to prevent injury and available CCL treatment options.

Such good puppies 🧡

10/29/2023

7 years ago we brought our Avalon home. She’s been the best momma dog ever….even to her grand-pups.

10/28/2023

One of these is a little more sPeCiAl than the others 🤪

10/25/2023

It’s raining out, so the babies are snuggling inside tonight.

10/22/2023

Purple and pink both have excellent drive and would do great in hunting homes or homes that can give them the high energy outlet. Super sweet girls raised in a family environment 🩷💜

10/22/2023

Congrats Jenny and Luke on your new pup! Can’t wait to hear what you decide to rename Dahlia to. I have never seen a pup pick out her new owner like Dahlia did - she was instantly in love with Luke. 💛

2 more waiting to go home, 2 more still needing homes.

10/19/2023

Dyna apparently can sleep anywhere 😂.

10/17/2023

Thor with some freshly done ears - always with the kisses 😘

The ugly duckling of litter F might actually turn out halfway decent.

10/16/2023

Yeti- Litter A- and her new little niece, red collar pup (to be named) -Litter F

I’m sure Yeti will turn the puppy bad in no time 😂😬🫢

When one of your pups (Shrock Litter D) isn’t feeling well and you have some medication that might help, you take the opportunity to go see and help your boy. Feel better Shrock!

Shrock - Litter D - 3 years old

It’s a start

Getting old, but still able to do his job. Admiral’s 8.5 now - hard to believe! We had a great time at this Fall Festival.

10/07/2023

Brought the pups inside last night to sleep, because it was going to get quite chilly out. To my surprise they all slept quietly in their kennels all night (after weeks of them sleeping outside in the big outdoor kennel), and no potty accidents overnight. 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Good job puppies!! 🐾

10/06/2023

I love this pic of Ashen - the pups’ momma - of course I have no clue where the original pic is in my phone photos - it just shows up randomly as my Lock Screen 🤣.

I plan on getting momma and the pups into the woods this next week. Can’t wait to let them explore and get dirty!

10/05/2023

Obedience training with 6 puppies. Fun, but exhausting 🙃 It sure is fun seeing how quickly dogo pups catch on to basic commands!
Pups still looking to homes - let me know if you’re interested 🥰

Admiral was sure to show his son how to do the dishes before Raiden left this weekend. 🙃

09/30/2023

This awesome boy is headed to his new home outside Chicago with lots and lots of land to roam. Good luck and here’s to many wonderful adventures with Raiden Eric D Thomas 🍻 . It’s such a joy having your family as part of the Dogos del Fuego family!!

Just look at that cute little baby bo**ie!! 🥰
