They are wonderful pups. Gabe is available to a local (ground transport) home. Please message if you're looking for a big sweet Teddy Bear of a pup.

"Surf's Up Pups" and their new people! We are so grateful for the wonderful homes provided for our sweet kiddos! The best part of raising Gordons are the Wonderful new people, whom we now call family. ❤️ We look forward to watching them grow!

Big Baby Levi's first show! (Munroc Westray Isle at Shaker Hill.) He was a good boy, the only boy! We will be working on standing still, lol :) Pro pictures to follow.

"Surf's Up" litter 2 weeks old!

05/21/2023

Introducing the "Surf's Up" theme litter at one week old today! The puppy litter nicknames are after famous surfers. The registered names will all contain the word "Wave". Feel free to share name ideas in the comments! Names begin with our kennel prefix "Uponarock"

You might have noticed that the pups don't have colored collars yet. Juni is being a very attentive and clean first time momma. For the pups safety, we did not add collars that she might attempt to remove. We are keeping track by weights, and small sharpie markers spots, and will add collars when pups are bigger.

We have had a busy week with new pups born on Mother's Day. We are enjoying watching them change each day! Stay tuned for more pictures and our fun litter theme! "Enzo & Juni"

Hello everyone. This post is a tough one to write. It's been several months, but there's a lot going on behind the scenes. I love sharing the beautiful farm life we enjoy with our family, both 2 and 4 legged. The flip side of breeding dogs and farming, (that's not fun to share) is really hard; heartbreaking...but it's part of our journey too. The time, worry, lost sleep, missed events, the vet $$ the mud, the poo, lol etc. So here we go... forgive the long post... it's therapeutic for me to open up!

In January we lost Sebastian to bloat after a traumatic fight to save him. The veterinary shortage in our area is alarming. There were no emergency hospitals available for over 12 hours. X rays showed there was nothing to be done. He was on heavy pain management all Evening, until he could be humanely let go the next day. My advice is if you have an emergency need, drive to the nearest pet ER, and wait in person.

This was a freak occurrence, we are careful to let dogs rest an hour before and after feeding. We feed good balanced food and break the portions into 2 feedings. In 25 years, we've never had issues, but in deep chested dogs, like Gordons, it is a risk. We loved every moment with our boy, and can't thank his breeders enough for placing him in our care, and for the continued encouragement all the way to his last moments. "Bash" was such a perfect buddy, an awesome family dog, and my first AKC champ, I feel really fortunate to have his daughter Juni, and sister Kayley.

Our big singleton boy, Hoss, went to live with our friends in Woodinville, where he has a new English Setter sister. We thank Jan, and her family for loving our big-brave-beautiful-sweet boy as much as we do! We kept him for 4 months to grow and socialize and be a good citizen...He was ready to take on the world 🌍 and as hard as it was to make that decision, he is thriving!

We welcomed a new boy to the farm from Munroc Farm & Shaker Hill Gordon setters.. "Munroc West Ray Isle at Shaker Hill" was in Ohio. We thank his breeders for the opportunity to add him to our crew! I flew in over a weekend and brought it home at 8 weeks. It took a month to name him, but we chose "Levi" Look for us at shows this summer, and tackling performance events in the future! He is from proven dual type ( show/ hunting lines) and will be a great addition to our program in the next few years.

Our next update will be in a few weeks, and will hopefully be good news. I'll share future litter plans. If you're on a waiting list, I haven't forgotten you. :)
If you made it to the end of this post, thanks for reading. And thanks for following our Uponarock Gordon Setter Journey.

Hoss @10 weeks, and his playmate "Hettie," a Springer Spaniel. This pair have been a hoot! Because Hoss was an only child, it's been so good for him to learn puppy play. He's developing into a super puppy!

12/26/2022

Merry Christmas to all of our Uponarock Gordon Families!

6 week puppy playdate for our Big Boy Hoss! And, picts with a puppy that no longer sits still :) 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

12/11/2022

5 weeks tomorrow for our big guy Hoss. These are from 4-5 week pictures. Voice and tail wagging controls are now installed, lol. He met his Weimaraner friend, Wesson, last week! Wes is also a single pup. They had a great time.

He's so sweet, now eating soaked kibbles, going for baby walks, and went for his first car ride today too!

11/30/2022

3 weeks!

11/21/2022

Uponarock's Juni B Jones, (Juni) and Uponarock's Magic Music 🎵 and Lyrics (Merlin), went to Whidbey island Kennel club show. They were so good! Juni was winner's bitch, and Select. Merlin was winner's dog, and best of opposite. I'm so proud of Vicki Jo and Ron Bock for their dedication and love for Merlin. (from the 2021 heartstrings litter.)

Then after our long drive home, we had some chunky puppy cuddles!

11/16/2022

One week old pictures. Nicknamed "Hoss" the gentle giant from Bonanza. This little chunky monkey has doubled his birthweight! Our challenge is to keep mom busy, so he doesn't over indulge.

He gets tons of cuddles, but also "exercises" to challenge him to problem solve as an only child. He gets removed from nursing, gently rolled over so he can right himself, all of his toes and parts handled, placed on different textures of surfaces, and placed a small space away from mom so he can walk to her.

We are learning a lot by raising a singleton. I've made a friend with a weimaraner breeder locally, she also has a single the same age. Hopefully we can arrange some playdates in the future:)
Thanks for following our single pup journey!

It's a Boy! Yep, just one this time, and he's awesome!

We travelled 2300 + miles over 5 states in 3 days to get a successful breeding. Followed by a worrisome month since the ultrasound found only one puppy. Then, an anxious wait for the due date, with a C- Section planned if needed. By the Grace of God, Kayley was able to deliver naturally in the wee hours of the morning. Introducing our 1 # 4 oz boy!Sired by Longshots Lucky Gunner, and our Kayley, Uponarocks Quest for Camelot. Name to follow.

We have a long waiting list, and unfortunately things didn't go as planned :( We aren't taking any reservations on this guy, but will keep all of the applications on file for Juni's first litter in the Spring of 2023.

Ps. If anyone knows any orphan pups in the Northwest, Kayley would love to help!
Also,
My Facebook messages aren't coming through, so I apologize if I've missed responding to inquiries.

Sebastian at handling practice. We are learning so much with Timberland Dog Fanciers. I'm excited for Bash to make his debut in the show ring this spring.

It's becoming more difficult to capture the cuteness. Here's my attempt to video, before my phone died. More stills of individual babies tomorrow. They are a crazy bunch of beauties, but so sweet!
