The hazards of breeding for extreme features without consideration for the health of the animal puts the breed as a whole at risk of worsening health problems.
Responsible breeders are taking steps to improve the flat face features of the bulldog, pug, and French bulldog to help them build a healthier, but still distinctive dog.

Flat-faced dogs like Frenchies, pugs and English bulldogs are wildly popular but they come with a long list of health problems. Bad breeding means more and m...

Introducing Wizard Cove's newest champion!
Wizard Cove California Poppy (Thickish Newfoundland Eternal Love x Wizard Cove Electric Dreams)

I cannot be prouder of this girl - and her incredible owner, Bethany!

Seven years ago today, seven amazing puppies were born. I am so proud of each and every one: Midi, Tesla, Georgina, Titus, Jonesy, Burt, and Moxie!

Sorry for the delay - Here are Stormy's placement pics from the Tarheel Cluster in Raleigh last week. Best of Opposite S*x on Friday; Best of Breed on Sunday!

I have to be honest here - I had no idea what the judge would say. There were some *very* nice dogs in the ring that weekend. I am humbled, proud, and not a little shocked. 🥰

At the Tarheel Cluster, Stormy (Wizard Cove Batten Down the Hatches) takes BOS on Fri and BOB today! Pictures to come!

However, I am also remiss in sharing that Stormy's sister, Poppy (Wizard Cove's California Poppy) got Best of Opposite S*x in Hangtown, CA on May 28th. Sorry for being so late in posting! Congrats Poppy and Bethany!!

Stormy (Wizard Cove Batten Down the Hatches) took Winners Bitch and Best of Winners today at Concord, NC today. I can't tell you how proud I am! Picture to come.

A story in pictures: We had to say goodbye to the big tree next to the driveway (along with an old dead one and two small trees next to the back door). Its massive roots were pulling up the concrete as it began to lean. In a couple of weeks, a new driveway will be poured, as well as a new stamped concrete patio installed by the back door.

Wishing a happy 2nd woofday (a day late) to Tesla's first litter: Arcus, Doppler, Bodhi, Nova Storm, Nimbus, Finnegan, George, Stormy, and Poppy!

Too cute! https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/neighbours-install-dog-window-fence-25871677?utm_source=linkCopy&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar

How much is that doggy in the window? Yeti the Newfoundland's owners made him a garden fence window so that he can greet passers by at his South Californian home

Happy Holidays from the Furry Felons!

Nimbus came by today for a play date with his mom, brother and sister (he's the one that isn't scruffy)!

We just got home. No Best of Breed for Tesla today, but she did get Best of Opposite. Can't complain about that.

Tesla got best of breed in Concord today! She looks rather proud of herself!

The hairy horde this morning.

It's been a while since I posted. Here's a few pics of the crew taken today. The weather has been much milder the last couple of days.

What hot summer days are like at our house.

06/20/2021

Some folks apparently need to be reminded to not leave your pets outside in the heat of the day. Especially brachycephalic (snub-nosed) dogs.

On Wednesday, at 3:00 o’clock in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day, in the middle of a record breaking heat wave Riverside County animal control officers spotted a dog in the middle …

It's that time of year, friends. Watch your pets as they play outside, especially in the mornings and evenings.

July 16, 2020 – With summer in full swing, our pets are out exploring, finding adventure and meeting new friends. However, some “friends” that might not appreciate the special attention are snakes. Although most snakes will quickly move away to avoid contact with unwanted playmates, they can a...

After a 17-year hibernation, trillions of cicadas are due to emerge in parts of the U.S. Here's how they could pose danger to your dog.

A late brag (because I missed last week, so we tested Stormy today): Arcus and Stormy passed their AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy class!

02/11/2021

Stormy and Arcus waiting for their breakfast. It's rare that they're being so good! 😱

I'm a day late (I was not feeling well), but I want to wish a happy 5th boofday to Wizard Cove's inaugural litter! Pawty on, babies!

There was a thin layer of sloppy, wet snow this morning. Our housecleaner was just here yesterday. 😱
