Happy Birthday (yesterday) to our amazing second litter! This was such a beautiful litter. We have been so blessed through this time meeting such amazing families for each of our puppies.

Seven healthy happy pups. Labor went through from 10pm last night to the last pup at about 4:45am this morning. We are tired and so is mom, but all are doing great.

Initial look is 4 females and 3 males. With seven wriggling bodies though that might change. :)

All were about 12.5 oz. and all are eating well now while mom sleeps.

Some breakfast for us and then nap time for us as well.

We had an episode with Kyra with Vomiting and no longer eating for about 3 days. We got her taken care of and found out she has Addisons Disease. Unfortunately, this means we will no longer be breeding for the foreseeable future.

This isn't because it's a hereditary thing. But her body can't handle stresses like it used to. We get her a shot monthly and have to give her steroids every day as her body isn't producing it on her own anymore. If you'd like to read up on it more here is a link that explains it all in detail. https://www.caninejournal.com/addisons-disease-in-dogs/?msclkid=7c7c4e0dbdb011ecb84ad5886cb42d57

Now that we know the issue though she can live a happy and enjoyable life without much difference than her older self. So, no worries about her she's doing great.

Looking back signs we saw but didn't realize they were an issue were a coarser hair in her coat, and rapidly growing nails. We believe this was due to the hormone imbalance in her system. It's not something you'd immediately clue into as something seriously wrong though. Seems it's pretty common to have a Addisons crisis which is what she had in female dogs predominately usually around 3-5 years of age. Which is exactly how we pinned it down. Luckily, we have a great vet who knew how to respond to it all.

We'll keep the page going and love to get updates on everyone. We are still here is you have any issues or questions. Emily is going to be starting Agility courses with Kyra in the near future and hopefully we have some update on how that all progress's for us all.

Xmas season is almost here. Share your Xmas photos if you can so we can see how the lil tikes aren't so little anymore. :)

We are back in heat season again this year. But no pups this round. Unless a giant mistake occurs but that is a 1 in a million shot. Our next cycle for possible pups will be around May to July of 2022. We'll keep you all posted with updates as we know more.

07/20/2021

All of our pups this round have found loving families to adore them. Thanks to everyone for the patience and we hope the pups are all you dreamed of. We sure fell in love with all of them. Keep the photo's / videos coming we love to see how they grow up into such great family members with everyone. A little down time for us now to recoup and get back into the normal swing of things.

We'll update with next litter potential options as they happen. We are guessing Kyra will come into heat again this year which means we will be skipping a round as we only want her to have to endure a min of one pregnancy per year. But her cycle is pretty unpredictable so we'll let you know when we know. :)

Safe travels and go enjoy the rest of your summer. :)

How to deal with Fireworks big or small. For Us both of our dogs do fairly well with fireworks. They are startled by them of course but for us letting our pups be outside to see what is causing the commotion / noise has helped a ton. It's the unknown causing the sound that tends to cause more alarm than anything for us it seems. So keeping our pups indoors and away from all the commotion seems to do more harm than good.

Now this doesn't mean we take our pups directly into the fireworks and let them roam around right at the light off points. We keep a solid distance away in an open field usually and allow things to occur at a distance.

This won't work with all pups and you have to be ready to vacate to a safer space if the pups gets too anxious about all the commotion. But so far we've had great experiences with not being to alarmed or nervous during this season.

Our breed was intended to be on the hunt and be used to loud bangs. But they are expecting and know where the sound is coming from at all times, and by using conditioning over time. If you need some help exposing your pups to this kind of training let us know we know some pretty good resources to help you along with your gun dog training.

Stay safe everyone and have an enjoyable 4th of July with your pups. BBQ and play to your hearts content with your loved ones. We'll be doing the same on our end here. :)

As we (here in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest) are heading into a three-day excessive heat warning, be mindful of you pup! Here are some tips from AKC about keeping dogs safe in the high temperatures.

Consider spending extra time with training indoors, or use a flirt pole to burn that puppy energy safely inside!

Hot weather can be uncomfortable and even dangerous for dogs. Follow these summer safety tips for keeping your dog safe this summer.
