Hey GMMA community, do you follow Reno on his insta page? He posts his motorcylce rides and trips for ice cream and puppacinos often. Please give him a follow
Thank you!
Here’s a few pics of his ride yesterday and the beach sunrise we watched and his little nuggets looking for their furever homes.

Dear GMMA community. We’d like to know if any of his offspring (Reno) Floof obsessively like this.
If so would you share your videos with us?
Apparently he wasn’t impressed not riding today because his flooding was “extra” today.

Mom and Dad are busy with their nuggets (and when we say busy we mean Maple is a great mommy and Reno is lounging and being on standby) but when they aren’t they are living their best lives.
Maple x Reno litter go home date week of Feb 17. Taking deposits on 4 males and 2 females. Individual puppy pictures to follow.

Dear all new puppy owners of any breed

NEW PUPPY OWNERS…….
As puppies head to their new homes I wanted to touch base on a common issue that breeders come across with new owners.
Realistic Expectations
You see the breeders pictures and videos and The pups are all social. They are quiet in the pen. The breeder shows you videos of them being totally relaxed, happy, playful. All looks amazing and you bring your puppy home.
Then reality hits. The puppy may cry in the crate for the first few nights making you tired and agitated. The happy social puppy is refusing to greet the half dozen overly excited friends you invited over to see your new puppy. Or the overly excited playful children you have at home. The puppy refuses to walk on a leash. Many are wondering how did my perfect puppy turn into a nightmare.
So let’s discuss realistic expectations of when a puppy goes home. First of all the puppy has been in the breeders home since birth. They had their mother and often littermates. They had their routine, were taught expectations and were completely in their comfort zone.
Now suddenly they are taken to a totally new environment. Picture yourself being dropped into an unknown country, often in a different part of the world. You know only a few words of their language. Different trees, animals, smells, temperature and people. Now in the middle of this we are switching up your routine, decide to have a party with people you don't know, and ask you to do jobs you have no idea about. Overwhelming to say the least.
This is what every puppy goes through when going to their new home. Stress manifests in different forms. From not eating, reluctancy to play and greet people. Being apprehensive at the vet’s office or as strangers reach for them. Diarrhea, vomiting and depression can occur.
So what can you as a new owner do to help your little one acclimate?
- most puppies take 3-4 weeks to acclimate to their new home. Repeat after me THREE to FOUR WEEKS sometimes even Longer! Not a 1-2 days. I can’t stress this enough about how much time is needed for a dog or puppy to feel comfortable in their new home!
- limit guests during the first week. We understand you are excited to show off your new baby but they need time to adjust. Plan on waiting 1-2 weeks before inviting people over
- ask guest to sit on the ground and let the puppy approach them. No squealing and grabbing the puppy
- set up a good routine
- restrict the puppy to a small area of the house. This not only reduces them being overwhelmed but also allows you to watch them
- don’t expect a 8-13 week old puppy to walk on a leash. Instead work at home with a leash where they are comfortable. Let them drag the leash, use treats to encourage them to walk with you
- if your puppy is refusing to walk give them time. My first trips to town with puppies a walk around a small block took 1 1/2 hours. We only move when they initiate the movement as they need time to take in the different environment
- understand your puppy needs time to see you as family. Expecting an immediate bond is unrealistic
- train your puppy. This not only helps you to bond but the puppy to look to you for direction and input
-Children are also big stressors to tiny fragile puppies, please keep an eye on puppy at all times when around children.
- lastly be patient. Don’t declare “omg there’s something wrong with this dog”. Nothing occurs overnight. Outings should be planned at puppy speed. So while you might imagine a fun walk around the lake in reality your puppy might only be able to handle walking a short distance that day.
Most outings for me take a long time, as I am often just standing still as the puppy cautiously explores the new environment. Patience is key!
Remember if the puppy was wonderful at the breeder’s house but now is struggling, you as the owner, need to help the puppy adjust which takes time, patience and training. Have realistic expectations and give the puppy positive experiences. Each puppy is an individual, don’t compare your current puppy to past pets and judge their behavior based on how another dog handled things. Lastly, try to see thing’s from a puppy’s perspective and adjust situations accordingly.

When you take your pups to Starbucks for a puppacino!
Maple is ecstatic every time we go and can barely contain herself and the rest of the dogs just stay in the back patiently waiting for their pup cup! But Mapes nope no way she’s usually in my lap the moment I make the turn into the parking lot licking her lips!

Update:
He’s got a date at a friend Shadows house who he won’t badger.
She’s a senior and won’t put up with his crap!

Anyone in the New England area want to house this awesome little riding bundle of joy from Tuesday until the following Sunday?
We are headed to Laconia bike week and due to a van and trailer breakdown are so far behind in our travel logistics it doesn’t look like I can drive him back to Florida in time.
Pay, snuggles, entertainment, and ball throwing (by you) and other fun sound effects all available by taking this little dude for sone fun time with you all.
He’s not fond of other male dogs due to the nature of his intactness. But with the right hooman can be redirected and easy to love.

06/06/2023

We support our wounded Veterans at GMMA.
Weather permitting due to the long ride to get over there will be participating in this ride. We are looking to start collecting sponsors (yes money) for this ride that will be donated directly to this deserving Veteran whether we ride or not. Please consider helping us reach a goal of 200.00.
Thank you Family we love our Country 🇺🇸
