With Moxie’s litter safely home with their new families ( except for Moose who we are lucky enough to get to keep) for a few more days until his family comes home, it seems like a good time to repost this information on the implications of spaying or neutering dogs too early. If you have one of our puppies, or any puppy, please read and pay attention to this study and the others out there. There is lots of information available online. This is important for your puppy’s future health.

Neutering (including spaying) of male and female dogs in the first year after birth has become routine in the U.S. and much of Europe, but recent research reveals that for some dog breeds, neutering may be associated with increased risks of ...

We hate to see them go, but we love to watch them leave! It is so exciting watching these puppies from Moxie and Dundee start heading home with their new families. Each and every one is going to the very best of homes and we can’t wait to begin getting the photos and stories as these puppies start to make their mark in the world. This litter is extra special because it is Moxie’s third and last litter. She and Dundee make beautiful babies so we feel like these eight families are extra lucky to have one.
This gorgeous boy is Goose. Stay tuned to follow his adventures as his new family has promised loads of photos and update updates.

Cotton, retired from her life as a mom and living the perfect Labrador life with her family. One of our most commonly asked questions is: We don’t hunt. Are we doing a disservice to a dog if we get a puppy from you and don’t plan to train the dog for hunting? The answer to that question is – absolutely not! In fact, over 50% of our dogs go to homes where hunting is not part of the plan. Our dogs love hiking, beach trips, retrieving things, and just being with their active families more than absolutely anything. They tend to be great at dock diving, agility, other dog sports if that’s what somebody chooses to do, but really they are just great family companions who do better in a family where a fun form of exercise is part of the routine. If you have one of our dogs and you do not hunt, what activity does your dog love the most?
