Hey everyone!! Sorry, I’ve really not been too “active” on the page here nor social media in general. Sometimes it’s just nice to give it a break for a bit and focus on what’s important in life. I also recently started a new job and have not had much “free time”!!😅 So, just wanted to let you all know we’re still here and do plan to have more pups in the very near future!! After a long pause on producing litters here, with the market being absolutely flooded along with the over abundance of animals in general that sadly need placement.

As for future breeding plans.. I’m excited to officially announce that we’ll be expecting a standard Aussie litter sometime around mid-late August!! Parents are both AKC®️ and full panel genetic tested through Embark. This litter will be black and blue based only. I’ve been wanting to breed my boy “Moose” for quite awhile now and I cannot wait to see what he produces!!!!🥹🤩
He was paired up with one of our gals, “Bailey”.. who came here to join our pack about a few months or so back now!! Both parents have great overall temperaments/demeanors and an on/off switch! So, please reach out if you’re interested in getting placed on the waitlist!!!💖

Next up.. I’ll be planning another repeat Aussiedor litter out of Jade x Duke. For those families still waiting, that breeding should take place sometime within the next couple months or so here.. but, I’ll definitely keep my waitlist posted on all the details once available! So excited for this bunch.. as the previous litter was just stunning!! We do have just a few spots still available on that particular waitlist..
So, please feel free to reach out with any questions if you’re interested while there is still time!! Hope everyone has a great weekend!!🙂

** A few pics attached of the expecting parents- Moose & Bailey!!💖🐾

IMPORTANT UPDATE -
AUSSIEDOR LITTER!!

Unfortunately, the breeding did not take this go around with Jade x Duke. I even attempted a round of AI as well.. but, our timing was just a bit off. So, we will now be moving the expected litter to the Fall. ANY deposits previously placed on my waitlist, will of course transfer over. I do apologize in advance to anyone waiting on a pup out of this particular pairing.. however, sometimes things happen that are far out of my control and I just have to roll with the punches here and simply make the best of it!!

That being said.. I really do appreciate all of you for your patience and understanding. IF you have any questions/concerns at all, please feel free to reach out!! We do have a few spots still available on that particular waitlist!!

Thank you so much and looking forward to the Fall!💖🐶

Food for thought this Sunday morning:

The purchase of a well bred dog did not sentence another dog to death.

The purchase of a well bred dog did not cause an increase in the number of dogs in shelter.

Someone wanting a dog with a predictable temperament from healthy lineage did not cause another dog to not get adopted.

Someone's meticulous research and support of only the most responsible of breeders is not the problem. It is not what you should be mad at. It is not what you should be pushing the blame onto.

We are not the ones who brought these dogs into the world irresponsibly and left them in a shelter (or worse yet - left out to roam, suffer, and eventually perish). Responsible breeders are not the ones who put dogs into shelters.

It is our home, our life, and our choice of what kind of dog to bring into it. Maybe we needed a working dog, a sport dog, or simply a companion puppy to raise of a breed we enjoy. No matter the reason, the choice to support a reputable breeder did not send a shelter dog to its death.

A breeder who health tests, temperament tests, studies pedigrees, proves a dog worthy of being bred, and only breeds when doing so is of benefit to the breed is not contributing to the number of homeless dogs.

The number of homeless dogs in the world is a problem, but it is not a problem exacerbated by reputable breeders and those who purchase from them.

Your neighbor down the street who refuses to contain his unaltered dogs IS contributing to the problem.

Your friend who impulse bought a dog at Pet Land IS contributing to the problem.

That guy on Craigslist pumping out the trendiest designer mix as fast as he can IS contributing to the problem.

Your relative who just HAS to let their dog have one litter “so she can experience motherhood” or because “she’s just so sweet” IS contributing to the problem.

Your old high school classmate who bought a high energy working breed without taking the time to research its needs and realize it was not a good fit for their household ahead of time IS contributing to the problem.

A reputable breeder offers their lifelong support. A reputable breeder would never allow their dogs to end up in a shelter to begin with. A reputable breeder makes it a contractual obligation to return dogs they have produced back to them should you find yourself unable of keeping it.

It is understandable to be angry about the number of homeless dogs in the world, but if you take a deeper look, you will find your anger is misplaced.

If you take a deeper look, you will find reputable breeders and those of us who purchase from them are just as angry; we are just pointing fingers at the right causes.
