I like to take different pups/dogs with us whenever we do work on the property and today these sweet girls got to tag along.

We have 2 beautiful chocolate girls that we have decided will not be joining our program. They are absolute sweethearts who are already crate and potty trained and come from excellent lines. Our only reason for placing them is that both are maturing more on the petite side than I breed for. I know each one will be a wonderful addition to a special new family. ❤️ Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

I have been meaning to post these pictures for awhile, but I’m glad that I waited because now there are more to browse through and I love every single one.🥹 Sophie the yellow is a Moon River baby and Sadie the black is a Belle Rose Labradors baby. Their mama Miss Pam takes such incredible care of these sweet girls and I get so excited everytime I see a new Sophie and Sadie update! They are ready to weather any storm, attend any party, and are always in the holiday spirit.

And just like that, our precious puppies have reached the 8-week milestone and have started their journey to their forever homes. This is always such a bittersweet time for us—the quiet of an empty house is a bit hard to adjust to, but the joy comes in knowing that these sweet pups are heading to amazing families who will love them endlessly.

We are truly grateful for each and every family that has entrusted us with bringing a new furry family member into their lives. Whether you’ve welcomed a puppy from us in the past, are bringing home your first pup, or are eagerly awaiting your new baby, we deeply appreciate your patience, kindness, and understanding. Your support means the world to us, and it makes moments like this so special.

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey. We can’t wait to watch these little ones grow and thrive in their new homes. 🩷

Here are some photos from the past week—such sweet memories as they take this next step in their lives.

When you get your 8 week old puppies, please keep these images in mind. (More X-rays are in the comments!) Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod around so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movement because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons, ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet.

When you run them excessively or don’t restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period you don’t give them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in.

When you’re letting your puppy jump up and down off the lounge or bed, take them for long walks/hikes, you are damaging that forming joint. When you let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction you are damaging the joint.

You only get the chance to grow them once. A well built body is something that comes from excellent breeding and a great upbringing-BOTH, not just one.

Once grown you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they’re still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once.

Our black babies found their voices this weekend and it’s the most adorable thing ever. They’re also becoming proficient tail waggers 🥹🥹
