Beginning to explore the idea of rehoming a dog. Just the idea makes my heart break - I'm not sure how any other small breeders (anyone really) ever do this as they are such a part of us. What are your thoughts?

Has it been a year already since Freya and I went fishing with Tom? 🥰
Our "Memories of Ottawa" (Otto) lounging in his retirement. We're growing gardens and raising chickens, but, boy, do we miss raising puppies sometimes. Hoping this finds all the Ottosons and Ottodaughters ;-) doing well.
Update on Ares (Freya x Otto 11-13-23). He is loving life on the farm with his bodyguard. Ares is 50 pounds now, and, apparently, a play-toy for his "big brother". LOVE these updates from puppy parents! Photos: Left in April and right is May. He's silvering very nicely.
Miss Freya is back in her surgical suit again. At 4 weeks post-op she had a little reaction to her (inside) sutures and her incision site opened on one side. She's healing up well though. We hope we're past this now. Phew!
Throwback photo of Ottawa. For our Freya x Otto (11/23) puppy parents - Otto was 6 months and a few days in this photo - same as your babies are now.
The reason I feel like I'm being watched all the time. Because ... she does!
UPDATE: Just remember "routine"surgeries don't always go easily. .. first Freya had the reaction to anesthesia, then we've had to nurse her incision all week (swelling and seepage) AND a few calls with the vet after hours.
We think she's on the road to recovery now!

Miss Freya is sporting her retirement dress. She's crying a little - it's her party, right?! Poor baby girl.
This makes it official. We won't be having any more litters. We don't know what the future holds, but we're ready for it, come what may.
❤️
Happy 1st Birthday to Miss Freya's 1st litter. I believe this is Jacques at their vet check.
This came up in my memories today. Lena and Bentley - besties since they were a few months old! Photo is from 4-19-20.
Happy 1st Birthday to Ally x Ottawa's litter (4-15-23). I can't believe it's been a year!
Our last and final placement. This puppy is now known as "Ares" (the boy who stayed with us a few weeks). He now has a personal Newfoundland bodyguard and a family who loves him to pieces!
We appreciate all of our followers and love our puppy families beyond measure. We will be taking some time to transition over the next few months and would like some time to process.
Thank you all.
We love you!
Tom & Janelle
+ Kaya, Otto, Lena, Bentley, Ally & Freya
Puppy enjoying his time before going to his new home Wednesday. He's getting plenty of car time and public exposure.
Day 4 of our time with Freya & Otto's (11/13/23) green collar puppy. Our dogs are happily playing with him. His momma keeps stealing his toys, and his daddy is even warming up enough to wag his tail when they're close. (Otto has always been indifferent to his puppies). If all goes well he will go to his new home on the 30th.
Update: New home pending.
This boy has become available by no fault of his own. We will be picking him up this weekend and would love to hear from you if you're interested in a large silver boy. He is 17 weeks and 35+ pounds.
Be still my heart! This is Groot - formerly known as Felix (green collar). Freya & Otto 11/13/23.
Here is Miss Dahlia. Formerly Aspen from Freya & Ottawa 11/13/23. ❤️

The photo isn't a poodle but the words speak to all of us...
Miss Ally is quietly recuperating on some pain meds. Lena isn't far away - wondering why she's still not the center of attention. ;-)
Miss Ally is retiring today. We're waiting for Doc Fallon - Ally had a bad experience at an emergency hospital in 2020, so we sedated her before I left the office. 😭
These dogs are tethered to my heart! 💔
Miss Lena went to her retirement party today. She'll probably wear her party dress for a week or so while she's recuperating. ;-)
I decided it was time to shave Ally down, but not before we play with some hearts... we're taking a break because momma's arm hurts.
Throwback from early January 2020. Otto 11 months and Lena 9 or 10 weeks.
Our handsome stud Ottawa is 5 years old today! We love him so much. ❤️ 🐩
Noel getting ready to travel to his new human momma.😭
UPDATE! Thank you all for sharing and spreading the word! Noel is going to live with his new human momma on Friday! We're all excited, and he will even have a standard poodle "big brother".
Noel: "I'm just down here minding my own business at your feet...."
Miss Ally got her hair blown out (mostly) with our industrial dryer for the FIRST TIME EVER!! We used a snood and both loved on her. I'm so proud of her. 🩷🐩🩷 She'll be 5 in July... that's a big accomplishment!

Finally. In keeping with his miracle arrival of last, and later... here's little Cal - our Miracle boy.
The-e firrrst No-o-el.... ha! It just dawned on me that Noel was born 1st and I started singing that song.
Freya was restless so we have babies back in the quiet. We'll just go back and forth till she's ready. 💕🐩
Announcing plans for a Fall/Winter silver litter (Freya & Ottawa). Hurry and get on the list - we think this one will fill up fast. 💕🐩💞
