We got a home! He'll be going to live with is aunt (Sadie's sister) Ginger and his big brother Flash (older Timmy puppy)

I've been keeping this little guy to myself. But time has come to release him 🥹 this house isn't big enough for 2 Timmy's! So if any of you Timmy fans out there that want one of your own, here's your chance! This little guy is his father down to the tiniest details. From looks to personality to energy. EVERYTHING! It's like going back in time to when I first broght my boy home🥹🥹

All that to say I'm looking for a guardian home. This little guy will be replacing his father when he retires.

Quick explanation: A "Guardian Home" is where I place a puppy for free or at a very low cost in a forever home but I reserve breeding rights to him. There is a legal contract with all the small details. Pm me if you have questions.

He can go home right away. I am also traveling to central Florida November 3rd and can meet with him in Orlando or Tampa

Morning! So we've been hiding these gems in the background for a while and I guess it's time we introduce them. (Left) Poppi our soon-to- be Sable merle American Corgi momma. We'll be pairing her with a sable fluffy stud. Both around 22lbs so puppies should be our signature small stature. (Right) Chester our tiniest liver merleb Auggie stud. Weighing in at a hefty 8lbs! We'll be pairing him with Miss Sadie for his first litter and her last ❤️

Can't wait to see what these 2 cuties bring to our program!

Sorry to those that may have been waiting on puppy updates. I've had some things going on with my health these past few weeks so I haven't had much time or energy to get many pictures. They will be coming soon i promise!

But that aside, we have moved to our bigger enclosure! Had to retire our pool as you can see we were having daily escapes 🤣 so we are back secure now in the box. At 4 weeks we'll open that door up and the small area they are in now will become the potty. This is how we start potty training.

I wanted to touch base on a common issue that breeders come across with new owners.

Realistic Expectations

You go to the breeders home. The pups are all social. They are quiet in the pen. The breeder shows you videos of them being totally relaxed at a dog show. All looks amazing and you bring your puppy home.

Then reality hits. The puppy may cry in the crate for the first few nights making you tired and agitated. The happy social puppy is refusing to greet the half dozen overly excited friends you invited over to see your new puppy. The puppy refuses to walk on a leash. Many are wondering how did my perfect puppy turn into a nightmare.

So let’s discuss realistic expectations of when a puppy goes home. First of all the puppy has been in the breeders home since birth. They had their mother and often littermates. They had their routine, were taught expectations and were completely in their comfort zone.

Now suddenly they are taken to a totally new environment. Picture yourself being dropped into an unknown country, often in a different part of the world. You know only a few words of their language. Differnt trees, animals, smells, temperature and people. Now in the middle of this we are switching up your routine, decide to have a party with people you dont know, and ask you to do jobs you have no idea about. Overwhelming to say the least.

This is what every puppy goes through when going to their new home. Stress manifests in different forms. From not eating, reluctancy to play and greet people. Being apprehensive at the vet’s office or as strangers reach for them. Diarrhea, vomiting and being depression can occur.

So what can you as a new owner do to help your little one acclimate?

- most puppies take 3-4 weeks to acclimate to their new home. Repeat after me THREE to FOUR WEEKS! Not a 1-2 days. I can’t stress this enough about how much time is needed for a dog or puppy to feel comfortable in their new home!
- limit guests during the first week. We understand you are excited to show off your new baby but they need time to adjust. Plan on waiting 1-2 weeks before inviting people over
- ask guest to sit on the ground and let the puppy approach them. No squealing and grabbing the puppy
- set up a good routine
- restrict the puppy to a small area of the house. This not only reduces them being overwhelmed but also allows you to watch them
- don’t expect a 9-13 week old puppy to walk on a leash. Instead work at home with a leash where they are comfortable. Let them drag the leash, use treats to encourage them to walk with you
- if your puppy is refusing to walk give them time. My first trips to town with puppies a walk around a small block took 1 1/2 hours. We only move when they initiate the movement as they need time to take in the different environment
- understand your puppy needs time to see you as family. Expecting an immediate bond is unrealistic
- train your puppy. This not only helps you to bond but the puppy to look to you for direction and input
- lastly be patient. Don’t declare “omg there’s something wrong with this dog”. Nothing occurs overnight. Outings should be planned at puppy speed. So while you might imagine a fun walk around the lake in reality your puppy might only be able to handle walking a short distance that day.

Most outings for me take a long time, as I am often just standing still as the puppy cautiously explores the new environment. Patience is key!

Remember if the puppy was wonderful at the breeder’s house but now struggling you as the owner need to help the puppy adjust which takes time, patience and training. have realistic expectations and give the puppy positive experiences. Each puppy is an individual, don’t compare your current puppy to past pets and judge their behavior based on how another dog handled things. Lastly, try to see thing’s from a puppy’s perspective and adjust situations accordingly.

ATTENTION AUGGIE FUR FAMILY!

Hey everyone, I'd like to encourage you to please have your Auggies tested for drug sensitivity before giving flea/tick medications containing ivermectin or acepromazine. I've recently learned that Timmy has this drug sensitivity. The gene is called "MDR1" if you choose to buy the test. While it causes no health issues otherwise, it can cause seizures if given these medications. So before giving these to your babies, please have them tested. Or, better yet, use a different flea/tick medication that does not contain these ingredients. Make your vet aware so you can choose the safest avenue for your baby.

Lots of Auggie love ❤️
