A six month (belated) update on the “Dessert Litter” puppies!
🖤 Truffle, now Duffy, found his new forever family and has been enjoying all the focused affection on him 💕.
🌊 Caspian is a handsome young boy and him and his owner have been working hard on his training. He has earned his AKC STAR puppy!
💥 Riot continues training hard towards performance and conformation goals while having lots of fun.
🐟 Finn is a spoiled boy who gets to frequent a beautiful swimming spot!
🍨 Cannoli has decided to stay with his kids who adore him; we will show in conformation and dabble in whatever else life leads us into.

Thank you to ALL the owners who spoil these puppies. I am incredibly proud of every single one of them! I’m so thankful they all have the best homes 🏡.

I’m so proud of Riot getting her first title at 6 months old!

Legato’s Dessert Before Dinner RATI

🐀barn hunt is such a fun game of collaboration and teamwork for the dogs to play!

Thank you to owner Shahayla Moreland for all you do for Riot!!

These boys are spending the day at Entrust Canine today while we take a family beach trip. It’s SO nice not to have to worry about these puppies being cooped up at home and knowing that Suzanne will take good care of them. If you’re in the Hillsboro, OR area, I would 💯% trust Suzanne for day training, training, and boarding needs!! Suzanne sent me this adorable photo (among lots of other updates but I picked just one as to not to spam everyone)😍.

Truffle is still looking for his people. He has a lot of competition obedience foundation training on him, so I would love to see him go to a home that would like to pursue that. But I’m more concerned with him finding the best home, to spoil him than anything else.

The boys are now onto a more adult routine in the mornings. I greet them and then tend to the kids and get them out for school before I let the puppies out. They stay quiet and hold in their potties until about an hour after waking up. Then they go out to potty and play, then brought back in for breakfast. What are your routines that are not necessarily active training, but make life easier?

I share a lot of truffle and cannoli who I still have, and Riot (was Saffron) that lives close to me. But look at how much Caspian (was Cobbler) has grown?! He’s such a handsome pup in his wonderful home. He is a lucky boy to have such a neat pool to play in!!

Truffle says Happy National Black Dog Day!!

Truffle and Cannoli met with their sister Riot, and Riot’s big sisters to play yesterday! Truffle might as well have been a fish in his past life.

Front door manners are super important - it’s good to teach some degree of them, at least to the point your dogs won’t immediately bolt when the door is opened. But it’s very important to be conscientious of safety while you’re teaching it too. Here’s what I did with two puppies 😂.

The puppies got to practice recalls! First separately, then together. They are their own biggest distractions when they are together 😆.

Halloween is almost here, so the kids deciding to dress up was a great socialization opportunity for the puppies. They thought this was the greatest thing 😂😂😂

Truffle is still looking for the perfect arrangement. He is up to date on all his shots. He is well socialized and has also been started on performance foundation training and walks very well on leash for a puppy. We prefer a performance home who will show him in altered conformation when he is old enough to be altered. He is STUNNING and my pick of the litter but has one retained testicle. It could still come down but I would rather not miss out on the chance for a good home while waiting for that possibility. He would make a fantastic obedience prospect and/or a juniors dog. He is very food driven, loves water, loves toys, and definitely a herding dog, so I would like to find someone experienced with, or understanding of herding dogs for him. It is probable that he will enjoy dock diving when he is older - but I maintain dock diving is a high impact sport and should not be pursued seriously until growth plates close. He does have a great off switch and is medium to lower energy, which makes him very easy to live with even as a puppy.

Truffle and Cannoli went to the Farmers Market today for socialization. They even practiced their sit stays and walking nicely on leash for a tiny bit!

Conditioning a default calm when there’s triggering stimulus can be very helpful with preventing unwanted behaviors. By now the puppies all sit in expectation of treats. So all I had to do was show him the treats and he sat quietly. Using this in conjunction with “place” will be even more effective in communicating your expectations. This can help with puppies herding and chasing children too, but in more enticing situations, you may want to add a leash for management. If your puppy is afraid of the stimulus (vacuum in this case), find a helper so you can add distance.

The belly bands look a little silly but they have been a great tool for preventing messes while potty training! I use it with an insert so I don’t have to wash them each time they do have an accident.
