Happy 1st Birthday to these babies!! 🐾 🥳 🎉 🪅 🎊 🐾

💜 1st born Sway now know as Siren
💚 2nd born Raines now know as Achilles

Technically born October 4th-
💗 3rd born Eleanor
🧡 4th born Memphis (Resting peacefully in heaven)

I am beyond grateful to have whelped and raised this litter for 10 weeks and watch them go off to absolutely wonderful handlers and embark on a lifelong journey.

I am incredibly thankful every single day for my own keeper puppy, Eleanor, for being everything I imagined in a malinois for myself. She is intelligent, incredibly loyal, stable and my absolute best friend/shadow 💗🐾

I cannot wait to watch these puppies grow for many years and see how they blossom 🌻

Puppy brag! 🐶
Miss Siren competed in her very 1st dock diving event today and jumped a big 18'6"!
Congratulations to Siren and her amazing handler, Jessica for their fantastic work 👏 ❤️

I haven't posted here in a while so I wanted to share a little brag on Eleanor (pink collar) my keeper puppy.

I have been out of dog sports for a bit and I just wasn't sure where I was going or what I was doing with Eleanor. She has always been an easy-to-live with pup with a solid temperament.

I have dealt with mental health issues for a good while now and this year has been increasingly worse. A few months back while just casually out and about Eleanor briefly alerted me to an onset of anxiety that I was having. I kind of brushed it off and went about whatever we were doing.
But she continued over the next few weeks to continue naturally alerting me so I figured why not start marking it and training with it.
She already had really great obedience, manners, calmness and focus out in public so I began taking her on more outings to continue improving now that we had a possible job she showed interest in. I also added other alerts and behaviors into our training sessions and she took to them so naturally.
She's blown me away with her progress and aptitude to perform like this is what she's meant to do 💜

It pleases me because not only does she have sufficient drive to do and love performance sports, she also has the stability to switch that off and be a great partner and family member.

THIS is what I was looking for when I envisioned a litter from Shelby & Bullitt.
Intelligence, stability, health, athleticism, drive and beauty 🥰

Green Collar, now affectionately called CRASH, is back from his 2 week vacation with a friend where he got his first taste of all things bitey! He will be with us for a week and then off to his new home with his new owner 💚
2nd picture of Crash at club today 💪

Eleanor is happy to have a friend her size to play with again.

I haven't done a pupdate in a while.
Puppies will be 15 weeks old tomorrow 🐶

Eleanor (Pink Collar) and Raines (Green Collar) got to try out some fun biteys at club today. I'm super impressed with how well they did!

Green boy gets to go to a home and embark on a French ring journey in a few weeks 😁 So excited to see how he develops over the coming months.

I can't post videos and pictures together so Sway (Purple Collar), now Siren, will get her own post 💜

15/01/2022

Sway (Purple Collar) now Siren is living it up in her home. She gets to play mondioring and all the fun things 😄 Isn't she beautiful? 😍

Green boy is again looking for his forever 🏡
He is 12 weeks old 📅
Medium drives- prey, toy, food ✔
Started crate training and potty training since 6 weeks old.
Raised with ENS, ESI and early handling and desentization.
Looking for a sport/performance or very active home with malinois or high drive breed experience. He is a typical malinois with lots of energy and loves to BITE.
He will need a job to keep his mind and body stimulated
- No pet homes

12/12/2021

And then there were two.....

Ms. Sway (purple collar) went to her new home today to try all the fun sports and give mondioring a go 😃
I am so excited to see what her and her owner accomplish over the years 💜
It's bittersweet watching them leave onto the next chapter of their lives

💚 Green boy is looking for his forever 🏡
He is a typical 9 week old malinois; BITEY, energetic, always ready for something.

❗He will not be placed in a pet home, he is far too much for that to work out.
Training, active, sport home only❗

He has medium/high food drive, good prey drive and loves to bite/tug/play. He can be independent when out with the family but engages with people when they interact with him. He loves other dogs and spends a lot of his time loving on his parents and other dogs in the home. He has energy but also seems to have a nice off switch.
He would be suitable for someone with training and/or malinois experience with interest in sports such as dock diving, nosework, rally, disc, club level PSA/ Ringsport, personal protection etc.

He was given a clean bill of health by the vet on Monday and received his first vaccinations, regular deworming and Fi Nano microchip.
He will come with 30 days free Trupanion Pet Insurance, a bag of his current puppy food and a goodie bag with lots of stuff to take home.

Puppies were raised utilizing ENS, ESI and daily handling exercises. They have been introduced to crate training, potty training (outside [6 weeks+] and a potty tray from 2 weeks old) food luring, free shaping, human engagement/interactions, socialization with new people, dogs, cats and places, car rides, and weekly grooming (bath, blow dry, nail trim) and leash intro.

Please do NOT contact me if you want a pet or have no intent to change your lifestyle by adding a MALINOIS (they're literally life altering 😉) They do NOT make good pets and can easily become human and dog aggressive, destructive, reactive and poorly behaved without constant training.

And do not message me with your 1st and only question being how much, I'll ignore you 🙂

Pups are 8 weeks old today!
It has flown by 🥺
Yesterday they got to go on a field trip (longest car ride/day so far) and got to meet new people, kids, a new dog and see a different house during our family Thanksgiving 🦃
They loved all the attention!

23/11/2021

The puppies are getting the hang of 'going into the crate means food!!' 😋🙏
After each meal we wait 10 to 20 minutes and give them rest time and they are calm and quiet in their individual crates 😃
Incredibly happy with these pups!

21/11/2021

Puppies are 7 weeks old today!
They are doing incredible with potty training (outside 90% of the time, 10% potty tray) crate training, manding/ waiting patiently for treats and human engagement 🥰

20/11/2021

Field trip! Chasing mom is fun 🥰

20/11/2021

I forgot to post this last night but puppies have started "official" crate training and they're doing great! ⭐

17/11/2021

A ton of toys (as you can see) and they all fight over one crumpled water bottle 🤣🤣 typical malinois

16/11/2021

Started leash training today. It's going good 😂

15/11/2021

The butcher gave us some scrap deer legs so the pups got to try them out. They were happy little beasts 🦌

15/11/2021

The puppies went on their first field trip today!
They loved playing in the leaves and sticks and checking everything out ❤
Then they came home and had lunch and are taking a big nap now 😴 😄

14/11/2021

6 weeks old today!!
Everyone is now over 9 pounds each ⚖
They love to;
♡ Bite
☆ Play
◇ Chew on everything
• Chase and growl

14/11/2021

The puppies had their first session with a touch pad and it went so good!

11/11/2021

I had planned for a field trip today but the weather had other ideas 🍃
So instead, the puppies exposure training was their first bath!
While I consider malinois wash and wear they still require regular grooming.
The puppies had their first experience getting bathed and blow dried (nails too but we do those every few days already)
It was short, sweet and to the point with lots of positive reinforcement (yummy treats, hugs and kisses ❤💋)

10/11/2021

Today the puppies started crate training and we did a short food session and they learned how yummy cheese is 😋
And in Sway "tornado" fashion she rammed the camera before we started 🤣

09/11/2021

Puppies went for a car ride today 🛻 They all just fell asleep and it was a short 5 minutes 😴
Going to start taking them regularly to acclimate them ❣🙏
