Lola you are nuts 😂🤣

What do these photos mean? Where’s Lola, Lift and Magic … it’s heat cycle time 😂🤣 SO a divided lifestyle for us for a while. It’s extremely kind of them to come into heat AT THE SAME TIME

I will be breeding Lift to Dream in about a week, that means puppies in ten weeks or so. I have some truly lovely people who have waited a long time for this. IF you are SERIOUSLY interested in a puppy, feel free to DM me. If you aren’t ready right now - late May/early June, please just enjoy the plethora of videos and photos that I will be posting.

This is a repeat breeding of last year’s litter. Dream and Lola are all clear on every genetic test I could do, OFA Good hips, elbows normal/normal, patellas cleared, eyes no notations. I speak regularly to the owners of the first edition of this cross and their people rave about them. I’ve seen the two local dogs and adore them both. Beautiful, athletic, funny dogs who love their families. Size ranges from 14.5”-17.5”. They are 10months old

Plans beyond this one; I will definitely be breeding Magic NEXT winter. IF there is sufficient interest I will breed Lola in the fall. You can find out a lot about any/all of my dogs by snooping through the posts and pictures. If you want to meet them and me, we can arrange that as well.

I have a lot of GOOD things on my plate 🥰 I don’t really have a lot of extra resources for people who aren’t truly interested in a RoseRidge puppy of their own but want to chat. Please keep that in mind if you choose to contact me

Karen Douglas and I borrowed Loki(LiftXDream) this morning for a little adventure ❤️🤩 Loki is the pick of his litter and is loved by the Frost/Collier Family who live just down the road from me.

I can say ENOUGH good things about this young man. He’s 10months old right now, just under 17.5”, gorgeous balanced structure, lovely movement, great rear and front

As pretty as he is, it’s is stable SMART temperament that knocks my socks off. I have spent next to no time with him at all. I picked him up, popped him in Karen’s lap and we drove him to my place. Karen’s Daniel was playing a bit of the macho card (we put him away) and Loki’s response was absolutely lovely. Calm avoidance, in no way over the top, just disengagement.

We took him on a woods walk with Zinnia and Poppy. He was off leash the entire time and simply willingly followed. When called he came, had some loving and went on his way again. He’s very people oriented

All being well, pending OFAs I think he will be an excellent boyfriend for Magic in 2026

Thank you to the Frosts/Colliers for loving him
so well

Astro(RiseXDream) and Rosemarie Stein ❤️🤩 in Oregon. Astro will be heading into the agility ring this summer.

These last two litters just simply fill me with joy. I’m beyond grateful to the ALL people who love RoseRidge puppies so deeply.

The NightSky(RiseXDream) and GoWithTheFlow(LiftXDream) owners have been particularly amazing 🤩 at staying in touch. I have such a clear picture of WHO each of these dogs IS - it’s extremely gratifying.

I see Leroy (DreamXLift) often for classes. I finally saw Loki, his brother a couple of weeks ago. I’m absolutely thrilled with how lovely 🥰 they are.

This puppy fascinates me. I’m so loving the process of training and growing with her. She’s extremely food driven and has excellent handler focus. She DOES have a wild side and is actually extremely physically fast … but it’s going to take some care to nuture and develop it. I’m glad we have the chance to attend classes because I know the increased exposure is crucial for her development as a sport dog. Her personality, mind and structure are wonderful

Zinns … just the coolest 😎
I teach this to everyone. I’m excited she’s making the connection because she’s not overly toy driven so now I know I can shape a retrieve easily with food

The snoozing configurations really do crack me up 😂 🤣

The aftermath of bones all round yesterday 🤩🥰 I feed new marrow bones every couple of weeks. NOTHING cleans teeth like bones. I know that bones are not optimal for every single dog - the marrow is high in fat and absolutely NOT a good option for some animals

My own dogs thrive on a diet which is a combination of Fromm Puppy Gold (breakfast and for training) AND a Late afternoon homemade meal: cooked puréed vegetables/some fruit, steel cut oats, salmon, kelp powder AND raw meat in a rotation of proteins AND herring or salmon oil

Access to recreational marrow bones most of the time

Just in case you weren’t aware 🤣😂🥰 I love this dog madly lol. Agility IS our priority for 2025 but I’m hopeful we are on the right track to keep our “sh@t” together in Rally Excellent and Masters lol

Love this puppy… she’s a thinker.. so speed will come out of CONFIDENCE not like Magic where it’s PREINSTALLED 😂

She’s very physically capable and fast. It will be my job to inspire her to use what she has
