Meadow has been a phenomenal mom!
They started ESI (early scent introduction) today with Alpaca fur. Some babies just wanted to continue to sleep by my heart on my chest while others were interested. Momma came in afterwords to feed her babies so I hurried up and grabbed a pic since she was so happy to be back with them❤️

It was the dogs. The dogs are what got me.

A few years ago we visited the 9/11 Memorial Museum, and we saw a lot. Twisted steel girders. Baby-faced portraits of the deceased. Mutilated emergency vehicles.

But it was the dogs that wrecked me.

The dog exhibit is pretty small. Located in the far corner of the museum, with photographs of search and rescue dogs.

You see dogs nosing through rubble, wearing safety harnesses. You see them in their prime. They’re all deceased now. But they were spectacular.

There was Riley. Golden retriever. He was trained to find living people. But, he didn’t find any. Instead, he recovered the remains of firefighters. Riley kept searching for a live survivor, but found none. Riley’s morale tanked.

“I tried my best to tell Riley he was doing his job,” said his handler. “He had no way to know that when firefighters and police officers came over to hug him, and for a split second you can see them crack a smile—that Riley was succeeding at doing an altogether different job. He provided comfort. Or maybe he did know.”

There was Coby and Guiness. Black and yellow Labs. From California. Surfer dogs. They found dozens of human remains.

And Abigail. Golden Lab. Happy. Energetic. Committed. Big fan of bacon.

Sage. A border collie. Cheerful. Endless energy. Her first mission was searching the Pentagon wreckage after the attacks. She recovered the body of the terrorist who piloted American Airlines Flight 77.

Jenner. Black Lab. At age 9, he was one of the oldest dogs on the scene. Jenner’s handler, Ann Wichmann, remembers:

“It was 12 to 15 stories high of rubble and twisted steel. My first thought was, ‘I can't send Jenner into that…’ At one point, [Jenner] disappeared down a hole under the rubble and I was like, ‘Ugggggh!' Such a heart-stopping moment..."

Trakr. German Shepherd. Tireless worker. Worked until he couldn’t stand up anymore. Trakr found Genelle Guzman-McMillan, who was trapped for 27 hours among the debris. Genelle was as good as dead, until the cold nose poked through the mangled steel.

Apollo. German shepherd. An NYPD police dog. Coal-black muzzle. Liquid eyes. The first dog on the scene, only 15 minutes after the attacks. Apollo worked 18-hour days. Once, he was nearly killed in a fire during his search. But Apollo had been drenched in water and he was quick on his feet. No injuries.

Jake. Labrador. As a puppy, Jake was found on the side of the road in Dallas. Abandoned. Left for dead. Like trash. He had a dislocated hip and a broken leg. They made him a rescue dog.

Jake worked until his body threatened to collapse from exhaustion. After his shifts, local New York merchants saw his rescue-dog vest and treated him to free steak dinners in upscale Manhattan restaurants.

And, of course, there was Bretagne. Golden Retriever. Easygoing. Dutiful. Obsessed with food. Her owner and trainer, Denise Corliss, a firefighter from Harris County, Texas, brought Bretagne to Ground Zero while the rubble was still hot.

Bretagne went straight to work. She worked for 10 days solid. Ten agonizing days. Bretagne never quit. She napped onsite.

Denise recalls: “...There are images of Bretagne going to where she was directed to search, into the unknown, the chaotic environment. But even then, she knew who needed the comfort of a dog, and which firefighter needed to hold her close and stroke her fur.”

After 9/11, Bretagne also helped recovery efforts during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and Ivan. She retired at age 9.

Old age finally overtook her, she had a hard time using stairs, so Denise installed an above-ground pool to keep Bretagne’s joints limber.

In retirement, Bretagne became a reading dog at a local elementary school. First graders, too shy to read aloud, would read to a white-faced, elderly retriever who looked them in the eyes and smiled.

Bretagne visited students with special needs. She visited students with autism. She visited everyone.

She suffered kidney failure at age 16. She was put to sleep on June 7, 2016, and became the last of the 9/11 rescue dogs to end her earthly career.

Bretagne hobbled into the Cypress, Texas, animal hospital, one sunny Monday, only to discover the sidewalks and hallways were lined with firefighters, first responders, and rescue workers who saluted her.

Her remains were later escorted from the hospital, draped in an American flag.

We do not deserve dogs.

Welcome our Fall litter🍃🍂🍁🌻🌾

Day deliveries are the BEST! Especially with my girl helping and experiencing a beautiful miracle on a Sunday. Meadow had her first baby at 1:16 and ended with 10 babies by 3:47! What a blessing this is. 🙏🏼✝️

Meadows tummy looks to be dropping😍
Temp check confirmed to 98.2
I’m hoping 12-24 hours from now unless she’s playing tricks on me🤡

Any day now we are expecting a litter of beautiful regal reds. I’m so excited!! ♥️

We can’t stress this enough!

People often wonder why we are psycho about visiting our property and then communicating repeatedly to clients about "NO FOUR ON THE FLOOR" until FULLY VACCINATED. Just saw a breeder friend that used a well known puppy nanny air-transport service and the nanny let the puppy go potty in the public dog relief area of the airport. The nanny immediately washed the puppies feet and undercarriage after sending a pic of the puppy pottying in the public potty spot and getting a scathing reprimand from the breeder, but alas, it was too late. Said puppy is now home and tested positive for PARVO. Y'ALL. This is 100% preventable by just following directions!! We are not crazy! Parvo is a killer and it's potentially on everyone's feet and the feet of other dogs. It lives in the soil FOR YEARS and cannot be sanitized in soil/organic material. Please listen -- NO FOUR ON THE FLOOR until fully vaccinated!!!!!! Photo sent by the puppy nanny, puppy blurred to protect the breeder/puppy/puppy owner.

Paul Peavey, 57, was reported missing last Wednesday. His body was found Saturday morning by a group of concerned neighbors and friends in the 1000 block of Two Brothers Road near Idaho Springs.12 of his puppies were stolen along with anything of value.
Peavey was a long-time Idaho Springs resident and show breeder of Doberman dogs who also trained them for Therapy work. Everyone says he was a kind person who always had a smile on his face and loved his dogs dearly.

Listen this is why we breeders don't have visitors inside our homes anymore.
And why we have cameras and security all over, and most of us simply meet at the police station for our family's and dogs safety.

Such a tragic loss. This is so heartbreaking.

There is a suspect in custody already!

Meadow will be delivering within a few weeks and we are thrilled to be expecting a beautiful red litter. Unfortunately, Julie is not expecting a litter this time. We are reminded that Mother Nature is always in control.

Sabi helping me stay organized charting weights or anything pertinent needed for our documentation for our little rescues🐾🐶
Instilling good note taking or even journaling is important for our youth. Continuing in our daily life, school, sports or work habits. Helps you prioritize any patterns of concern, problems or improvements.

Oh my goodness they’re cute! Learning to play more and more❤️
Poops are starting to firm up. A small gain in weight and thank goodness for Capstar!! Flees and ticks fell right off with some time.

I have been very thankful that 2 ladies joined me in this endeavor.
Megan Pilgram and Lynn Wood.
They are amazing ladies!!
Megan was able to get them tagged for a rescue in Colorado called Big Bones Canine Rescue. They will be leaving us in July after 2 rounds of vaccinations.
Lynn has helped with our cleaning supplies and seeking donations. Which we have been very blessed with our community donations. Live Oak South will be our Vet that will be providing the vetting for this bunch.
*If you would like to donate or sponsor a pup please pm.*

Can’t wait to continue to share their progression during there stay with me❤️🥹

They started off very shy and timid but they are now learning to be puppies like they should be. However, they will always be survivors. Just a few pics I’ve taken along the way.

Pale gums, dehydrated, flee and tick infested, runny p**p are just the noticeable layers.
Today they all got weighed, wormed and bathed twice. They were given kibble mixed with a probiotic and gastrointestinal soft pate.

Yesterday, I received a call asking for help! A Stray Momma dog in our small town ended up giving birth to litter of 8 puppies underneath this family’s home. Speculating that momma had gotten hit by a car or poisoned since the family found her half way under their house trying to get back to her babies. The family was able to get 5 of the puppies out. But, 3 crawled deep under the home. Well, my daughter was determined to get them. Successfully she got one while the other 2 crawled deeper to the point she didn’t feel comfortable. We brought them home and now are assessing the health of these little guys.
