❄️ Dot & Clementine enjoyed their first snow! ❄️

Yesterday we lost a dear member of the BELA Spinoni extended family. Kathy Cooper owned Spinoni for many years, and in 2014, imported Gonzo (GCH CH Varen Dei Morenici RN JH, pictured below with Kathy) from Italy. Gonzo was the sire we chose for our 2018 "Mind" litter, and he is the grandsire of our litter from this year. We will always remember Kathy's generosity, kindness, and the love she had for her dogs.

These two darling puppies have each set off on their own grand adventures. 🐾🐾 It's never easy to see them go (especially when they are as sweet as these two), but we couldn't be happier for them. "Roanie" now Lucy and "Spot" now Gus both have wonderful forever families, and they each have a spinone big brother. 💕💕

We're frequently asked how we can bear to part with our puppies.

It is often bittersweet for us, and sometimes there are tears. But, we know that we have spent the time we've had with them preparing them for this launch.

We've given them the nutrition, training, and love they need to thrive.

We know that they are going to amazing homes where they will be well-loved and cared for.

We know that their new families can contact us for support and can share pictures and updates with us.

And we know that if those puppies are ever in need of a place to land, our arms will be ready to receive them again. ❤️🐾❤️

Yesterday was a busy day for the puppies. While Roanie and Clementine played to a packed house at the local nursing home, Brownie packed his bags to head out to his new home. He appears to be relaxed and comfortable in his new surroundings. We try to fit the puppy’s personality with the home he is going to, and it looks like this was a successful match.

The puppies had another fun-run in the big yard last night. We took a bunch of photos, but as you might imagine, when photographing 9 week old puppies, some of them were nothing but a blur. Here is a sampling of the ones that were not. 😀

Before and after puppy crate upgrades. These two girls are such sisters--definitely two peas in a pod. 💕

Spot found a crinkly treasure on his yard expedition tonight 🍂

Spot and Dot went to visit a local care center today. 🥰 Residents and staff members alike loved cuddling the puppies, and the puppies were very well-behaved (even before they settled in for a nap).

This handsome boy is a big, sweet teddy bear. He loves to cuddle, is wonderful around other dogs, and has been doing great with his crate training and socialization. If you're interested in adding him to your family, message us for more info or to request a puppy application.

Dot wasn't crazy about posing for our 8 week evaluation photos, but she did want to send a little love out to all her adoring fans. ❤

24/08/2023

The puppies are on their first ever road trip and are doing great! We couldn't be happier with how they've adjusted to RV life. Notice that the crate door is open in the last 2 photos--they clearly don't mind being in there. 😇😇😇

Meet Dot--our brown and white spinone puppy. 😍

19/08/2023

The puppies love human interaction. They've had lots of snuggles and handling from day 1 and are always glad to be with their people. 🥰

18/08/2023

The puppies got to explore the big yard last night. Their response: pure joy! 😊

🧸🧸 Stuffed animals--fun to play with while you're awake, comfy pillows when you're not. 🧸🧸

It's a blustery day here, making for a great opportunity to curl up with a book! 😊 This sweet book was written by a long-time friend of ours, and we were incredibly honored when she asked to use one of our puppy photos for the cover. It's a heartwarming read for kids, grandkids, and you!

Looks like these two siblings are enjoying having their own bedrooms. 😊

Spot's pro tip for hot summer afternoons: find a shady spot and keep a water bottle handy! (And make sure your human takes you back to the air conditioning right away.)

Spot is one chill dude--he's not lazy and does enjoy adventures, but he sure is a cuddle bug. 🥰 He also might just try to steal your chair... 🙈

08/08/2023

The puppies are loving the cooler weather and spending more time playing outside. The tunnel is definitely a favorite! 😃

My attempt to capture the brothers napping together wasn't quite stealthy enough...

It was time for their mid-morning nap, so here are a few "sleepy puppy" pictures.

Roanie loves the new cot... sharing it with her sister, not so much.
