When you are sick and your Besties visit. I’m sure they had a deep conversation outside my room to double check that none of them had developed the ability to get the cap off the jar of treats before they ventured in

Maizie is in season I have had a few people reach out on Messenger about possible summer puppies (ready to go July). If you are interested and want on a “pick list” message me. I don’t take deposits and don’t fly my pups before 12 weeks of age.
My pups are vaccinated, microchipped and are bobbed. I am in Washington State, this will be the 3rd litter and Ollie is Dad to all three litters. This will be this pairs last litter. Maizie’s last litter will probably be next summer and will be a multi-generational as the dad will be a OES or F1.
Pups will be between 48-58 lbs full grown. The predominantly white with freckling are generally bigger.
These are pics of the last two litters so you can get an idea of the colors available. Prices vary.
If interested let me know via Messenger. If the response is small I’ll hold off breeding this year.
Thank you!

So happy for him and Beth!

Wow! Nothing like having to pick up your dog and carry him into the groomers. This is my male Ollie before going to the groomer.

I will be back from vacation on Wednesday. I purposely post an available Sheepadoodle and allow for a “cooling off” period where the serious families for the pup are phoned and I talk to the prospective families to determine caregiver, exercise, feed etc.
it’s a big decision for the next 12-14 years, I want everyone to be comfortable, and the transfer to be as seamless as possible. I

I have had a lot of interest in families asking about Farley. He is a wonderful guy who needs a chance. I am traveling and will be responding to messages as I get them. Thank you all for interest.

The holidays are over, the new visitors has slowed the dogs are back to their scheduled play, eat and sleep routines. I hope everyone had a good holiday and a better New Year. Thank you for liking my page.

Farley is ready for adoption. He is a F3b Sheepadoodle, intact, up to date on shots. Farley is 9 months old. His coat had extensive freckling which can look grey. He is a return from an older family who had to return to work and didn’t have the time for him. He has an Old English sheepdog head and the poodle coat. His OES is predominant in his manners meaning training will be repetitive until he decides that it’s ok.
Farley is treat driven. He is about 68 lbs at 9 months so will get a bit bigger.
This guy is a playful pup and will want to be exercised regularly. When I got him back it took awhile for him to get used to the pack and his place in it. I love this guy.

Merry Christmas !

Fifi and her Dad watching the guy on the tractor plow their driveway out. Farley got tired and is cleaning the snow out in his front paws, Mom got irritated when I wouldn’t let them out to go bark through the fence, another typical snow day.

This is everything 🥺😂

Farley is back with us, his family is unable to care for him. I am looking to rehome this 7 month old male. He loves kids and wants to play. PM me for details. I want to de-compress him first and get him used to being in the pack so to speak.

I just got this picture of Chloe after her first groom. She had a dark spot on her rump, too cute!

Farley just had his first groom. Wow! Just look at all those spots!

I feel so bad for these breeds, as lovers of all dogs I am saddened that this is happening to such a wonderful bunch of dogs.

beautiful work and article

Part of a new series called “Invisible Wounds of Friendship” (which I think will be the title of my solo show in October!).

I’m working on a series of handmade cyanotypes (prints made with sunlight), using X-rays given to me by rescues and private people.

On the left is a “normal” doggie who had a broken jaw, rescued by my friend in Mexico. On the right is Arnie () who is a Frenchie who was originally bred for show. His breeder retired him early and he joined Heather’s family. She has since become a fierce advocate against brachycephalic breeding, as Arnie has an insane, painful, and costly list of health issues, all related to his breeding.

As you can see here, brachycephalic skulls are an atrocity. These dogs (bulldogs, frenchies, pugs, all flat-faced dogs) are bred with skulls so compact, they have not enough room for their eyes, teeth, brain and their airway is squished (hence the raspy breathing / snoring). These dogs are bred to suffocate. We must stop the demand for these dogs and pressure the breeding community to better their standards, or to stop breeding these altogether.

That moment when you stick your foot out from under the covers…and your dogs start licking your foot…

I am babysitting Kia while her family is on vacation. Yesterday was cleaning the front room day. All was going well, the dogs were out and playing, work was getting done without all the dogs trying to “help”.
When the room passed inspection I decided to sit on the deck and take a break. When I sat I noticed Kia was in her pool, she was watching intently my micro fiber duster with the 3 arms for cleaning lights, fans, and you name it, sink to the bottom of her puppy pool.
Evidently it needed to be there.

The days are cooling off, we’ll be getting snow here in the foothills. This is a video of my adult dogs last winter after the first snow. Ollie and Maizie, F***y and Fifi.

Just got this pic from one of the families who adopted one of my pups. She had the cutest face as a pup and I wondered what she would look like with her distinctive markings.
This is the pup that I flew with to Nevada.

Now and again families send pics of our pups that they’ve adopted.

That being said we had a male pup we named “Farley”. After Chris Farley and for good reason, this is a pic of their front room…this is his toy room now.

My puppies have all been adopted out. I want to Thank all of you for supporting my page and taking the time to look at my pups. I would like to say I would never breed a mix I didn’t fall in love with.

My double coated white female with the cream markings is available for re-homing. She won’t shed and is as hypoallergenic as a dog can get. She is a happy girl looking for a family to love. She isn’t the water dogs my other pups are, but she does like to get her feet wet.
