Free cleaning service, one man team. Specialty is slowing everyone down.
The Zippo/Bailey puppies are a week old! We are loving their chunky thick little heads. Mom is feeding them well, they’re fat little buggers🥰.
Welcome Gunner! We are really enjoying his sassitude. The world revolves around him, just ask him😁.
We whelped out his mother a couple of years ago and loved her so much we wanted a pup out of her. Here he is!
The Bailey/Zippo puppies arrived today strong and healthy. Four black females, three yellow males and one yellow female. Bailey is a great first time mom. We are very excited to see how they develop. Top Notch Service Dogs and Dog Training gets their pick of two pups!
Lots of help in the kennel building last night!
The goldens are coming alive! They’re playing and “fighting” which is super important behavior at this age. We also have different textures and thickness of bedding in with them. Most importantly is the contrast of appearance of the bedding for their developing eyes. Different shapes and patterns with dark against light is so important and lost upon too many breeders.
And as soon as they’re born they’re eight weeks old and heading to their families. At least it seems that way! Bye bye little Luna, enjoy your life! You scored huge with your family. The best reference from a vet I’ve ever gotten🥰.
This little sweetheart is slated to be a facility therapy dog at Concord West Side School in Elkhart! Follow her training and placement on the Top Notch Service Dogs and Dog Training page where the magic happens! #labradorretriever #labradorpuppy #purposebredlabs #therapydogs #facilitytherapydog #schooltherapydog
The pups had a friend join them for a swim today! #servicedogs #servicedogssavelives #scentworktraining #duckdogs #huntingdog #facilitytherapydogs #servicedogsrock #puppytraining #careerchangedog #servicedogs4vets #puppyplaytime #servicedogsforveterans #therapydog #puppylife #pooltime #pool #duckretriever #labradorretriever #dockdivingdogs #workingdogs #ukcdockdiving #labradorpuppy #purposebredlabs #dockdiving #shedantler #shedantlerdog
And just like that the pups are swimming! Thanks to Alana one of the trainers from Top Notch Service Dogs and Dog Training for getting them in the pool for me!
In three days Top Notch Service Dogs and Dog Training will be evaluating these lab puppies for facility therapy dogs and a diabetic alert dog. They need three or four of them which means there will be three or four puppies left.
I already know they aren’t taking the yellow male because he is all full of himself! He bullies his littermates, loves biting and walks around like he owns the place. He will only go to an experienced owner that does competition scent work or obedience, maybe an active home that will be sure to have rules and boundaries early on. A pet home looking for a calm “fur baby” will be a disaster with this guy.
The dam is a retired diabetic alert dog that could have made a detection dog for a small department. The sire comes from a program of hunting and service dogs that we love so much we used him as our stud for this litter.
Pups are purebred but mom isn’t AKC registered so they won’t come with papers. They can be registered as PAL or All American Dogs for all competitions but conformation (which isn’t their bloodlines anyway).

This is why we can’t have nice shoes here. They’re puppy magnets! Thanks to Christina Gates from Top Notch Service Dogs and Dog Training for putting up with the heathens.
Ten healthy strong goldens have arrived! Three males and seven females. Finley is tired but a wonderful mother. Stay tuned for pics and videos as we watch them grow!
This is why my trash is a puppy’s treasure! I wanted to throw this bed away but the pups have a blast crawling in and out of this hole.

I love going to Starbucks on Cassopolis, lifting the hatch and letting pups experience the traffic. I’m careful they aren’t freaked out or scared by sitting on the back of the van until they ignore the traffic. That bit of comfort at first really helps.
Took the springer scamps to Petco😁
