Doc just got his first two AKC titles- Canine Good Citizen and Trick Dog Novice!!! He was a little out of sorts today, so I wasn't sure. Then we went out for pizza and shopping for dog treats. Yay, Doc!!! ❤️

There are so many nuances that go into how research is performed and how it is interpreted. This is an interesting article.

An FDA investigation that linked a rise in a potentially fatal heart disease in dogs to grain-free pet food relied, at the start, on data provided by veterinarians with financial and other ties to dog food brands that dominate the market for traditional, grain-based pet foods.

I am so excited to announce that Ava's sister Raven (owned by Coplar Creek Standard Poodles) and Doc's sire Gideon (link below to his FB page) were bred this past week.

We drove Raven to MN for the breeding, and got to meet Gideon for the first time. He is so sweet and handsome! He is an AKC champion and UKC grand champion. He weighs about 45 pounds.

This is my mentor's litter, but I want to make sure everyone that was waiting for a puppy from us knows this is the last opportunity to have a puppy related to our dogs for at least two years. They will be ready for their new homes in December. Puppies will possibly be red, blue, black, or apricot. They will be smaller sized standard poodles. You can fill out an application on our website to be considered for the waitlist. She offers similar health guarantees and terms, and the puppies will be raised in Orting, WA.

Raven AKA Int'l CH Coplar Creek Man's Greatest Treasure RI CGCA CGCU TKI FDC has a ton of performance titles under her belt, and was previously trained as a service dog. She is darling, and weighs 32 pounds.

Both dogs are fully health tested, titled, and diversity tested. These will be beautiful, sweet, intelligent, healthy puppies that are easy to train

This write up below is just as true for any breed! ❤️ A dog is a responsibility. Their life is in your hands. If they do something "wrong", it is always your fault. I think this is the best way to look at canine behavior. I heard one time that the only thing you can't teach a dog is to stay out of the garbage, so put a lid on it. I try to live by this. To take it a step further, their genetics and health is a breeder's responsibility. If they develop an avoidable and inherited health condition, have bad joints, etc, that is the breeder's fault. I say this all the time.... If you don't pay for a health tested, well bred purebred dog up front, you will pay for it later in medical bills. Even worse, your dog will pay for it in pain, suffering, and a shorter life. There's so much to getting a healthy puppy and getting it off to a great start. A quality breeder is the place to start.

My Philosophy on Buying/Raising a Giant Schnauzer by Sharon Burns

Every Moment spent researching a breeder from whom your puppy will be purchased will be rewarded with countless hours…perhaps a lifelong mentorship.
Every Moment spent researching pedigrees, titles, health certifications, structure, temperament, etc. will result in an investment in a quality dog and the future of the breed.
Every Moment spent Imprinting a puppy/young dog with correct behavior will eliminate countless hours of trying to undo bad behaviors
Every Moment spent teaching a puppy/young dog to develop its “thinking” skills will result in a dog capable of “working out” puzzling requests and choosing the right behavior in unusual circumstances.
Every Moment spent socializing your puppy/young dog will be repaid tenfold in an adult dog that can be taken anywhere and behave well around people and other dogs.
Every Moment spent giving a puppy/young dog quality exercise will result in a healthier, happier, longer lived pet and owner.
Every Moment spent using motivational training will result in the reduction or elimination of moments spent using negative reinforcement training techniques.
Every Penny spent on quality preventative health-care and quality food will result in significant dollar savings over the life of the pet and a healthier longer lived pet.
Every Moment of quality time spent with a puppy or young dog will result in countless hours of quality time with your dog throughout its life.
Every Moment spent mentoring other Giant Schnauzer owners will result in a lifetime of learning, growth, friendships, and of course the love of many Giant Schnauzers.

Because of trips and scheduling, Doc finished his first puppy class series today. He got his first little title as an AKC STAR puppy, but even better is that his trainer calls him "Mister Perfect" and says he'll get his first two real titles super easy during our next round ❤️

Brena (black) is from our first litter, and Bo (red) is doing great in his new home. Love that they get to be siblings and right up the road with a great friend ❤️

Interesting study that evaluates the effect of nutrition on animal health in a multi generational experiment. What we feed ourselves and our beloved dogs is powerful medicine!

The effects of nutrition and how what you eat affects your children and their children's future generations.

Just to be clear, no one here is trying to take this bone from him. He's usually very laid back but super sassy when he gets a bone, so he runs around growling in their faces while he holds it up for everyone to see....super proud of his bone 😂

Goose and Ava got an intro to barn hunting! You can see Ava's tell, where she raises her paw. Goose only goes to the one with the rat in it real casual like it's not a big deal. The instructor said he was the class mascot 😊
