I support responsible breeding, not backyard breeding or “just because having puppies would be fun or cute.”

We are playing with the lives of living, feeling, loving beings that have needs, and I take that very seriously.

Look at this cutie! Archie White. He loves getting TLC and chillin with his family in Mom & Dad’s bed. 🥰

Keep your pet safe this weekend and through next weekend following the 4th of July!
💥 🧨 🐶🐱

The next 8 days or so will likely be LOUD in many places. Ensure your pet’s microchip registration is current, provide identification, and bring them inside to reduce stress from fireworks. Many pets go missing or get injured at this time, don't let yours be one of them.

Don’t have a name tag for your pets collar or harness? You can MAKE ONE. Simple. 😃

Happy Father’s Day to some of my most favorite puppy Dads, Grandads & Uncles, most certainly not all, just a few I can give shout outs to easily.

You are answered prayers for me and these fur-babies that we so carefully place in the proper homes.

We admire you, we are grateful, you fill our hearts with joy & pride!

Thank you. ❤️🐾

Bliss’ half siblings. Aren’t they lovely??

05/24/2024

Bliss is the most beautiful color and her coat is the thickest and softest I’ve ever encountered. Sometimes the color looks copper, sometimes peach, sometimes more wheaton. She loves loves loves her brother, Moonddog Jude. 🩷

Bliss & Jude, almost 5 months old.

🎯

And I will add to this that those pups are not in small cages in a separate building treated like garbage and neglected. They are in our HOME, many times even our bedroom, where they are loved and supported 24/7.

05/01/2024

Miss Bliss and I are wishing everyone a Happy National Purebred Dog Day, where we celebrate purebred canines bred with integrity and intention.

You are an incredible girl, Mama Astrid. 🌹

UPDATE: Rosie has her new home in Amarillo.

UPDATE: Rosie has a local meet in Amarillo on Monday 4/29 and it is a great match. She will be going to her new home and to the vet to get her shots and spayed. Hope she's heartworm negative!

Amarillo

Rosie is a 4 year old mini schnauzer. Owner went into a nursing home and no one in the family is able to take her in. Sound familiar? Anyway, she needs a foster and can catch a ride over to Dallas or Abilene. She hasn't been to the vet in awhile so will need her vaccines, heartworm test and to be spayed. SRT will cover those expenses, but she needs a foster. Approved adopters/fosters who are willing to help, should contact [email protected].

What do your pets eat out of? Do you wash them in hot water and with soap regularly?

Study: Metal bowls have MORE dangerous bacteria⚠️ than plastic! 🤯

Pet food and water bowls can transmit bacteria, according to research, and while 67% of owners use metal bowls, only about 1/3 of people wash the bowl after a meal, and some only dry wipe, which is how the bacteria party gets started 🤢. And that slippery film in the water bowl after 24 hours? That’s a brew of bacteria🦠 that can be transferred from your dog to you and your family.

The amount of moisture in the food also matters. Wet food (compared to dry) was associated with higher bacteria - and higher humidity levels are likely to create perfect conditions for bacterial growth, especially after coming in contact with dog saliva left in the bowl.

In our new book, The Forever Dog LIFE, we lay out the pro’s and con’s of different types of bowls. Here’s a glimpse of what you need to know:

Plastic🥣: Chemicals in plastic absorb through the skin and inhibit the synthesis of melanin, which can cause Plastic Dish Nasal Dermatitis that leaves your pet’s nose & lips, pink and irritated.

Ceramic:🫖 Hartpury scientists found the most harmful bacterial species (salmonella, E.coli and MRSA) were most frequently found in ceramic bowls because of people continuing to use them after fine cracks in the glaze become visible.

Stainless steel🥄: cheaper quality bowls have been involved in recalls due to heavy metal contamination. Be sure to buy high-quality bowls (18/8 or 304 steel) from a trusted source.

Glass🥛: Durable, kitchen-friendly glass bowls made from 100% borosilicate glass (Pyrex) make great food and water bowls on the floor.

🧼No matter which type of bowl you use, the best thing you can do to protect you and your dog’s health is to wash your bowl after every meal with hot water and soap. In addition, at least once a week, run your bowls through the hot cycle in your dishwasher. You can also coat the bowl with hydrogen peroxide, wait five minutes, then wipe with a clean sponge and rinse.

For more info on bowls, Comment and we’ll message you the link to The Forever Dog LIFE book where in part one titled The Forever Kitchen and the section labelled “Food & Water Bowls", we cover how to choose the best chemical-free bowls🌱 that won’t leach contaminants⚠️ over time.

Is your dog throwing 🤮 up some clear or yellowish, foamy liquid?

If your dog is relatively healthy, there is typically no reason to worry about these situations, as they are easily rectified.

This is caused by a build up of bile acid and are referred to as “𝙃𝙪𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙋𝙪𝙠𝙚𝙨”. There can be several reasons why this happens such as eating a large amount of fatty foods, eating grass or drinking a lot of 💦 water, but the most typical cause seems to be an empty tummy.

You see, a dogs stomach is highly acidic. It has to be in order to be able to digest and process any bacteria they ingest (due to a carnivorous 🥩 diet). The bile is what helps process the food, so the body can utilize it.

When there’s nothing in the stomach to absorb the bile acid, the stomach lining gets irritated and causes nausea and that’s when the bile comes up and these hunger pukes happen.

It seems to be more common in raw fed dogs because the raw food gets digested at a much quicker rate, compared to kibble which sits in the system for a longer time.

The best way to avoid this is to feed evenly spaced meals. And you want to space them over the WHOLE 24 hours ⏰ in a day, not just the hours you’re awake.

For an adult dog 🐕 that eats twice a day, you will want to be feeding them 12 hours apart.
For puppies under 1 year that eat 3 times a day, you will want to be feeding them 8 hours apart.
If your schedule doesn’t allow for these feeding times, a snack 🍖 before bed or when you go to work may be in order.

If your dog is not interested in eating after this happens, it’s ok. Let them rest and they will eat when ready. This can sometimes cause a vicious cycle because it makes them feel nauseous, in turn making them not want to eat.

However, once you get on a better schedule as noted ⬆️ above, this should help prevent the hunger pukes and make your pup and you feel better.

Today is April Fools Day, but this is NOT A JOKE.

2024 Solar Eclipse Pet Safety

Just a friendly reminder - during a solar eclipse, it's a good idea to keep your furry friends indoors. The sun's rays can be harmful to their eyes, and the sudden change in light might spook them. Many animals react to eclipses just like they do to fireworks.

These two beach babes sent their greetings to us today. Frankie of SOTs Astrid x Cash, and Grace of Deez Pups Magnificent Schnauzers, another blue-eyed beauty! They were happy to get outside to enjoy the sunshine, it’s been rainy lately. 🩵

Bliss and my future stepdaughter met and it was instant love! “Sister” she calls her.
