Every breeder will produce defects if he/she breeds long enough…
SO MUCH goes into each puppy that comes out of a breeder's program 🙌🏼
Rawhide is deadly!

Good Morning,
You are invited to our Puppy Aptitude Test Party with our current litter of English Cockers that were born on August 3rd. We will be testing our pups on their Aptitude and Personality on Saturday, September 17th here at 249 Snapps Mill Road, Spout Spring, VA. You are welcome to come watch and and learn how the test is conducted and what the results may indicate as to each pups personality and aptitude. This is a valuable tool when placing puppies.
We will have some party snacks and drinks. Feel free to contribute to the munchies. We ask that you RSVP so we may know how many folks to expect.
So come learn about Puppy Aptitude Testing, enjoy watching the pups go through their tests as well as get to visit with other dog owners and breeders.

Stop buying dogs because you thought they were cool in a movie- they don’t deserve to be dumped when they don’t fit into your lifestyle.
PSA
When my dogs go in the car with me, they ride in crates. It is the best I can do to ensure their safety. There are just too many things that can go wrong if they aren’t confined.
Being in the crate means they are much safer and can’t fly forward if we happened to be in an accident. It also ensures that they can’t impulsively jump out of an open window into potential harms way.
Being in the crate means they can’t distract me while I’m driving. They can’t crawl into my lap or hover over my shoulder. Seeing a dog sitting in someone’s lap as they drive down the street is a pet peeve of mine. No one expects to be in an accident, but if it happens, having the dog between you and the steering wheel is a recipe for serious injury. Why would anyone take that chance?
Crating my dogs for car rides also means I have a way to keep them out of the way if I need to pull over to deal with a car problem. Which is exactly what happened recently when I was driving back home from Florida. I was able to deal with the situation without having to worry about what my dogs were doing.
I was returning from some vacation time, just me and the dogs. My vehicle is a 2021, so of course I let my AAA membership expire figuring I wouldn't need it anytime soon. 🤦♀
I'm driving along, singing to Fleetwood Mac's Rumor album, when the warning bells and icons started going off. I was rapidly losing tire pressure so I took the next exit and got off the interstate.
Fortunately, I do know how to change a tire. It just took a bit to figure out where the jack was stored and how to get the spare out from under the car.
Knowing the dogs were safe and sound was a huge relief. I could focus on what needed doing at the moment.
There are so many reasons to crate train your dog. Start from the very moment you bring a puppy home and continue throughout the dogs life. You will never regret having a crate trained dog.
And you will never regret transporting your dog in a crate. There is no better sigh of relief than knowing your pet is safe when the unexpected happens.
A message from the sorry not sorry department:
We $ell dogs.
(See how I have to misspell that word just to get this post past animal rights influenced rules that are slowly becoming accepting as the norm.)
I’m getting messages daily about people looking for information about the “adoption process.” I truly appreciate you reaching out and I am very grateful for it, but this is just something I need to say.
I do not subscribe to the language of those animal rights influencers that include words such as "adoption", "pet parent", "fur baby", etc. This may sting to hear and might make some think I think of my dogs as livestock or unworthy of being family members. It is in fact the exact opposite. Words matter. You want to OWN your dog. You want to be the one to decide what your dog needs to be the most confident and well rounded companion animal within your family.
When all dogs are "fur babies", we will no longer be able to fulfill their genetic desires with the real work that they thrive on such as picking up birds; scrambling rubble piles to find lost or injured people; leading the blind as guide dogs; using their noses at the airport to ensure our safety in customs; doing service work for disabled individuals or individuals in need of the support only a dog can bring including veterans and children. We will no longer be able to put them in crates that provide safety and rest, we will no longer be able to use fair and humane training tools to teach them how to live with us, and eventually owning even family pet dogs will become too difficult to even attempt.
There is an epidemic of badly behaved dogs and at the very same time there is an explosion of doggy daycare, dog parks, and fur parent culture. Behavioral euthanasia is commonplace as death is chosen over the mild discomfort and inconvenience of taking control of the animal. It is also more commonplace because the damages created by raising a dog as a human infant “fur child” are often nearly irreversible.
Please consider the language you use and what it means to the future of dogs sharing our lives with us. Be your dog's owner, and be a good one. Enjoy the freedom to decide what is best for your dog, but be responsible and put their needs first when it comes to what they need. Being a good owner is a lot of work and the first two years of a dog's life will set the tone for the many years ahead you will enjoy together. The kind of leadership that works best for all dogs is in jeopardy of becoming a thing of the past, and the dogs themselves will be next.

Not my words, but they needed to be shared !! Spot on Valerie 💯
Last week, one of our good clients found out first hand the danger of retractable leashes. She called about her little dog being attacked while on a walk. We made the appointment and found that except for some bruises and painful areas, her dog would be fine. The injury to our client was worse. You see, she had her dog on a retractable leash and when the attack happened, her dog was too far away from her to "reel" him in fast enough and she instinctively grabbed the cord with her hand. The rope quite effectively "sawed" through her finger, nearly down to the tendons.
We understand that retractable leashes are popular because "the pets love it" but for the most control and safety of our patients & clients we recommend a regular 6 foot nylon or leather leash. You will have more control because your pet is closer to you and if you have to grab the leash you will not have this kind of injury. Also, if necessary, you can put the loop of the leash on your wrist and have 2 hands free to assist you or your pet.
If you have a retractable leash for your pet, please reconsider when there is even the smallest chance that your pet may encounter danger and you need both hands available for rescue.
All dogs should be crate trained!

It's time to start DEBUNKING these harmful myths 🙌🏼🤔
It really doesn’t matter if your dog is friendly or not.
What matters is that you don’t take the choice away from another owner (and their dog) as to who they interact with.
There can be so many reasons why a dog and their owner need space from you and your dog.
Please allow them that choice 💙
This is a tick that was fully engorged on a dog and fell off. It was put in a ziplock bag and they waited to see what happened. It’s been in the bag for 2 weeks with no air flow and started to lay eggs about 5 days ago, continuing to do so. Imagine not knowing this was on your animal and it fell off in your house. You’d have 1000’s of baby ticks. GROSS! Please make sure your animals are currently being treated with flea and tick prevention. We know how prevalent they are in our area.
