Pupdate from miss Willow! She’s growing like a w**d and looking almost exactly like Adia at this stage! Her mom says her black is starting to come in a spread! Sables are truly so fun to watch develop with all their color changes!

We have a visitor for the evening ❤️

Poe enjoying the pups first snowfall! How cute is she?! Can’t wait to get updates of the other two! This time is so fun for a curious pup! If they are anything like their sire, they will be playing catch a snowflake soon! One of Berlin’s favorite pastime is catching snowflakes in his mouth!

Thought I’d share a pupdate!! Willow and Poe are getting soo big 😭😭😭 Their brother Whiskey has always been a big boy but he’s definitely growing too!

All are fitting in so well and all 3 pups are majorly spoiled! Couldn’t have asked for better homes for these three special babies!

Agatha (sable long coat) is still available and looking for her forever home.

Hemingway had his first night with his new family and did amazing! His new name is potentially going to be Whiskey! How adorable!

The remaining two went on adventures with us today❤️ Trying to get a good picture of Agatha is nearly impossible! She doesn’t stop moving 😂🤣😂
Agatha is still available and ready to go home! She is spunky but still loves to snuggle.

Poe…. Is just Poe lol.

Storm went on an adventure with us to Kentucky. She was such an amazing girl the entire time! Took an off leash video of her we will be posting later. This girl still needs to find her forever family. Her focus is so on point and willingness to please. This dog is so amazing and will be the best friend and perfect dog for the right person ❤️

Happy 2nd birthday to these babies!

Update on Storm,

We had a 3rd party behavioral assessment done on Storm on Sunday. The evaluator, Sharon, did a great job with the assessment which is noted below. Sharon tried different handling techniques, even a heavier handle with fast rougher movements and Storm had no reaction. She tried different things with the other dogs to try and get any reaction and saw that Storm was a submissive dog, not an aggressor.

We will never know what truly happened to poor Storm, but her wounds do show something took place. There has been no word from the previous family, which I expect since their story doesn’t make sense.

This girl will be on the road to recovering. Over all she is a great dog with no major issues….. besides jumping lol. Something we are working on but expected from a pup!

01/08/2023

Took Storm out in public to see how she would do and to work on some leash training. She did awesome! We learned she really loves children! I unfortunately didn’t get many videos and got a crappy one Lolol but she’s going to be trained up in no time! Super responsive, but I expect nothing less out of this breeding. So glad that we were able to save this beautiful baby ❤️

Update on Storm!

She has acclimated nicely to our home and learned the routine rather quickly. She has shown 0 signs of aggression, even when the pack puts her puppy behavior into place. She is pretty well behaved inside the home. Since she is out of quarantine now, we will be working on training. We are going to venture out today to see how she does in public places, but I don’t expect any issues. A 3rd party behaviorist is coming over tomorrow to check over her temperament.

This pup truly is a dream and I am not sure what the issues the pervious family experienced as I cannot duplicate a single thing they have claimed (at the end of course since they only said wonderful things up till the “incident”). My pack has very different personalities and Storm gets along well with all of them. Since I was not there, the only thing I can conclude was the issue lies with their other dog. We will see what the behaviorist says and go from there. I expect this pup will have her CGC title in no time and will be looking for her forever home soon!

Purple collar from litter B has come back to us. I’ve been waiting to post due to the highly stressful situation that took place. She is healing and is safe, that’s all that matters. She has several wounds, horrible ear infection, and her spay incision is also infected. As much as I’d like to say abuse wasn’t apart of the issue, unfortunately I cannot due to questionable damage to her eye that looks like a human punch. She will eventually be up for adoption once I can verify and rule out “aggression” which the old owners claim happened, but only have said wonderful things prior to the situation taking place for the last year while she was in their care.

I have not witnessed any aggressive behavior towards me, my family, my dogs, or the vet staff who examined her and they confirmed she shows no signs of being an aggressive animal. She will be healing, evaluated by a 3rd party professional and gain her CGC prior to a rehoming taking place.

Well it’s official! Adia is the new Covenant therapy dog! Our first visit went fantastic and we can’t wait to do it again!

11/02/2022

After a long and torturous wait, DM tests have come in! We will be having Berlin x Adia (litter C) soon! Couldn’t be more excited! This is a breeding that has been in the works for over 6 years! Just a waiting game for Adia to come into season! ❤️

Can anyone guess what Dozer is being for Halloween?!? Such a cute picture!

10/17/2022

Adia joined along as we explored a cemetery. Cemeteries are neat places to explore. So much history and forgotten lives. The headstones or family plots are really cool to see how they’ve transitioned over time.

Lilly is killing it with her competitions! Novice scent work is in the books! Her handler/Owner Jane is doing fantastic with her!

Congrats to you both! Quite an accomplishment with winning just over a year ❤️ Her housemate Eddie deserves a shout out too with him mastering his competitions as well

Some time has freed up in our schedules! We are glad to open up training again! We will be available tentatively mornings and on Saturdays and Sundays! Feel free to reach out and schedule some training sessions with us!

We also took the long coats and the foster Juliet on a hike! We haven’t been posting much but please enjoy our video ❤️

Remember: leash laws are important, please follow them! Do not hike off leash unless you have full control and a fool proof recall! Not all dogs out in the world are friendly, even if yours are! Could create a horrible situation!

Know the signs. Learn to prevent heat stroke or exhaustion. It’s extremely hot out there, even playing ball can be dangerous.

Look for signs and seek treatment right away!
