Elsa is such a sweetheart of a girl, I don’t know if you can see it or not, but she’s just laying there smiling while her babies snuggle her!! 🥺🥰
Trying to get a few pictures without disturbing Mama too much!! 🥰🥺 You’ll have to excuse all the hair…I had the bright idea to give all the goldens a good de shedding brush out yesterday, I must not have gotten all the loose hair brushed out!! 😬 I have puppies left available btw!! 😉
We have 8 puppies so far this morning!! 🥰
Just wanted to give an update for those of you waiting…Mama Elsa is due to have her litter on Monday!! Fortunately for her, the weather is going to be nice and cool this weekend!! She is getting so big, bless her little heart!! 🥰🥹 I still have some spots available on the waitlist if anyone is interested!! 😉
Hey everyone!! I usually don’t do this, but I’m helping a friend find some homes for these adorable puppies!! They are German Shepherd/pit mix puppies and they just need new homes…no rehoming fee!! Located in southern Kansas. Let me know if you’re interested and I will put you in touch with the breeder!! 🥰
Last puppy, blue boy, has headed home with his new family!! 🥹🫶🏼
Pink girl is on her way home with her new family now!! 🥰🩷
The first two puppies are off to their new home!! These two sisters get to stay together and be lifelong best friends!! 🥰🥹 💜❤️
It’s “Gotcha Day” for 4 of the pups and their families today!!! 🥰 I just wanted to let everyone know that I’m including a bag of the pellets I used to litter box train them, someone had the genius idea to sprinkle the pellets in the area of the yard where they want pup to do the business, and I thought maybe it would be helpful to everyone else as well!! This picture is also the spray I use when I’m first introducing the pellet trays, it’s supposed to entice them to go in that spot…so I spray the pellets down with this as well. I will tell you, after the pellets get wet, they turn to dust, so if that’s not something you want happening, you don’t have to use them. Anyway, I’m up bright and early this morning and getting ready to start giving puppy baths!! See some of you soon!! 🥰😊
I’m just going to reshare some tips that I like to pass on to all my new puppy families!! Only TWO MORE DAYS until puppies start going home!! 🥰
Just wanted to share with those of you getting a puppy this next week, this is the food they are currently eating!! I will be sending a small bag, with a couple days worth of food, home with them.

This morning we had pink and purple girls outside!! 🩷💙 I accidentally stopped the first video, and Facebook only allows me to post one video, so I have one more video and some pictures to post still!!
Red girl (formerly known as orange girl🤭) and blue boy had some outside playtime this evening!! I have to take two at a time so I can keep a close eye on them!! Tomorrow morning or evening I will get the other two outside and get a video if I have a helping hand (it’s a little too much to try to watch them and take a video or pictures at the same time). Anyway, enjoy the video as I upload some pictures also!! 🥰💙🧡
Some updated pictures for you!! Tomorrow I will get a video so you can see how their personalities are developing!! 🥰
Ok, after everyone’s picks have been made…orange girl is the one I have left available!! 🥰🧡
Hey everyone!! I just wanted to take a moment and let you all know that I’m very sorry for not being very active on the page lately…my Grandma has been in the hospital…and sadly she passed away yesterday morning!! My Grandma was my very best friend, and my biggest fan…so this one is pretty devastating for me!! 💔 I’m still here if you have any questions or concerns, I just wanted you all to know why been quiet. Her funeral will be on Saturday and burial on Monday, so after all of that is past me, I’m hoping to get back to posting on here as much as possible!! The puppies have started on puppy mush and are absolutely loving it!! I have to give all my grown kids a shout out for all of their help with the pups the last couple weeks, I really don’t know what I’d have done without them!! It’s nice to have such a supportive family!! 🥰
Got some new pictures of the babies!! They are really starting to grow a lot now!! This week we will be starting on puppy mush, and moving into the bigger pen so we can introduce the pellet trays and start on potty training to the trays!! 🥰🥹
Forgot to post my updated pictures!! Everyone’s eyes are opened and they’re starting to walk around now!! We’ll be getting ready for the big pen sometime this next week!! 🥰🥹 I still have one female available!!
Ok, here are some better pictures of everyone’s face, I’ve labeled them all by collar color, and a picture of their body for size. The boy is the big one of the bunch, and purple girl is definitely the darkest!! 🥰
The babies are a week old today, so I thought it’d be fun to see how much they’ve grown!! With only 4 in the litter this time, they are getting ALL the milk bar they want!! 🤭 They aalso got their collars today, so I will take some individual pictures later!! 🥰
Walked in on this…not sure if the darker ones make better pillows…or the lighter ones make better blankets…but it was pretty darn cute either way!! 🤭🥰

Ugh, these faces!! It’s amazing that I get anything done around here!! Also…notice black boy and yellow girl have little white marks on top of their heads!! 🤭 That’s a first for us, and I absolutely LOVE IT!! ☺️ But my oh my is this a GORGEOUS litter of puppies!!! 🥹🥰
For your viewing pleasure!! Warning: So cute it may cause your heart to flutter!! 🤭 Edited to add that the old man you see in the video is not underfed (as much as it looks that way), he’s 15 years old and declining fast!! 😔 I just wanted to put that out there because I realize he looks emaciated, but he has the same 24/7 access to food just like the rest of them.
I’ve separated the videos this time so there’s not so many puppies running around now that they’re bigger. They have also been switched to their bigger collars and in the process I couldn’t find the bigger purple collar, so purple girl is now orange girl!! Anyway, here’s the girls!! 💗❤️🧡
One more new adventure for the babies…puppy mush!! I’ve also added a water dish to the pen, but it usually takes a few days and a little encouragement for them to start using it.
I’m going to try to take a lot of videos over the next week and a half so that you can get an idea of personalities before we start the picking process!! (Can you believe it’s almost that time already 🤯) I’m getting ready to move them to the big pen downstairs so thought I’d spend some time with the other dogs around for the first time while it was convenient!! When they get a couple weeks older I will let the others actually have some playtime with them.
I’ve read somewhere that dogs will remember their breeders even years after they have left their care!! This is an example of that!! My sister in law got a puppy from my first litter. Now granted, I do see her from time to time, but I haven’t been over to see her in months as life as been hectic with the holidays and a new litter to care for!! I asked my SIL to fix a pair of jeans for my son and dropped them off in her vehicle while she was away. This video is Sandy’s reaction to the jeans with my scent on them!! 🥺💕
