I have been grooming my pack the last few days, 7 down, 2 more to go. I thought I’d shave them all the way down while it’s still warm out. Sophie and Lucy are growing their bellies right along beautifully ❤️

Happy Sunday, everyone!
I just wanted to remind everyone that there is never really a guarantee when it comes to size or color. Genetics- much like humans- can come from all different points of lineage. Most colors fade, with true black being the one that fades the least. Even “black” can be tricky, because blues and silvers start off black, and can “clear” to their final coloring.
In regards to size:
The size of the parents is just a starting reference. Again, sizes can vary in family trees- just like humans. For instance: I have a mama (Sophie) who is 13 lbs, but came from two 6 lb parents. Sophie has produced all kinds of sizes- some even being smaller than herself and the sire. I have two full blood sisters (Lucy and Birdie) with completely different builds (one being tall and very petite, and one being longer and dense)- who have a 3 lb differentiation. They also come from the same parents, but one is considered a blue/white parti, and one is a black/white parti. Phoebe’s very first litter had a HUGE puppy at birth (Winnie), and by the 8 week mark, she went home the smallest in the litter, and is under 6 lbs to this day.
When considering a puppy, please keep in mind that there is no trickery from me behind discussions about sizes and colors. The best I can do is let you know they’ve been DNA-tested (proof in my pinned posts), and then base things off of previous puppies from the past. There is never a guarantee, or a misleading intent- when discussing puppies, because genetics can be all over the place. It takes a few weeks to see the trend of growth and the color changes, so if there’s a particular desire, you have to risk having the puppy go to another family while you wait to see the trend of the size/colors; but, I cannot guarantee things that early on.
This is just general information, but I hope it’s helpful😊.

We’ve got some news!❤️

Sophie and Charlie have produced: black, black abstract, red, cream, apricot, agouti and phantom.
~Their puppies have ranged from 4.5 lbs- 13lbs~

Lucy and Loki will produce parti puppies: black/white, silver/white, or blue/white. (**all silver and blue coloring starts off black, so all would be born looking black and white**)
~Their puppies should be on the smaller side~

This was so well-said, I had to share ❤️

Every breeder knows this moment
that little buzz on your phone a few days after a puppy goes home.

The message starts sweet:
“We love him, but…”

And you already know what’s coming next. But he barks. But he nips. But he cries at night. But he’s just “a lot.”

And it breaks your heart a little, because what they’re describing isn’t a “problem.”

It’s a puppy.

A baby learning the world outside their mom and littermates. They’re confused, overstimulated, excited, and scared sometimes all at once. That’s normal.

But people today want easy. They want the version they see online the one that sits calmly, never chews a shoe, and somehow knows “sit” by eight weeks.

They forget that behind every well-mannered dog is someone who put in the work, the patience, the boundaries, the grace.

When someone says, “He’s adorable, but I don’t think we’re a good fit,”

what they often mean is: I wanted the love without the learning curve.

Even the most beautifully raised puppies don’t come pre-programmed. They come ready to grow with you. To learn your rhythms, your tone, your energy. They don’t need perfection they need patience.

Some people confuse an easy puppy with a good one. But the truth is, every puppy is good they’re just new.
And new things are messy before they’re magical.

As breeders, we see it all. We comfort the ones who come back scared, unsure, wondering what they did wrong. We remind them softly: “You didn’t do anything wrong, baby.”

Because it’s never their fault that someone wasn’t ready for the hard parts that make the best parts possible.

Raising a puppy isn’t instant. It’s sleepless nights, puddles on the floor, little teeth on fingers and the sweetest bond you’ll ever build.

A puppy isn’t a project, or a phase, or something to “try.”

It’s a commitment. A piece of your heart on four legs.

If you’re not ready for the messy parts of puppyhood, that’s okay just wait until you can give your whole heart.

Because these little souls deserve nothing less

Maggie and Birdie had their annual checkups today. We also brought f***l samples, had blood panels done, vaccinations, and got their heartworm prevention meds. Love these two!🩷🩷
