Oakley Asher Nova    We are so excited- both Oakley and Nova have been bred to Asher for spring puppies! We'll do an ultrasound March 22 for Oakley and first week of April for Nova to confirm pregnancy. If they are successfully pregnant, Oakley will be due around April 22 and Nova around May 6. Puppies would be ready to go home mid June and end of June at 8 weeks old. If you have filled out a puppy application and are on our "Interested" list, please feel free to check in and let me know if you are interested at this time, or if you'd like to wait or be taken off our list. I will also contact those on my list after we do the ultrasounds if I don't hear from you. Thank you!

We are trying to wait patiently and excited for Oakley and Nova to come into heat! We anticipate breeding each of them Winter and Spring 2024. Our plans are to breed Nova to Asher, and Oakley's pairing is TBD. If you have sent in a puppy application, your info is on our list and we will contact everyone when things progress. We will also post updates here and on our Instagram pages, please check your junk email folders when we do post updates as sometimes our emails seem to end up there for some folks. Thank you!!
Nova has been bred to Asher for an Aug/Sept Litter! We will do an ultrasound early-July to confirm pregnancy. We have a list started for their puppies, if you are interested please fill out our Puppy Application on our "Puppies" page.
Hope gave birth to a healthy litter Saturday April 29th! As of day 10 they are thriving and have doubled their birth weight. We weigh them twice daily, and clip their claws every 3-4 days. We are currently doing Early Neurological Stimulation and Early Scent Introduction days 3-16. Puppies are gently held, stroked, and loved daily. Their eyes and ears should be opening in the next few days. We have one male puppy available. Please fill out our puppy application if interested. Hope is finally in heat, we've been taking her to our vet for regular progesterone testing and will breed her in the next 2 weeks when she's ready.
Happy New Year!
For those on our waitlist, or looking for a puppy, we are planning to breed Hope this winter when she comes into heat. She will be bred to the handsome "Flynn", Alubyc Prime Suspect of Show-Me-Goldens, from Missouri. He is a certified Therapy Dog, and he's proven in the show ring in conformation, rally, and nosework. He also comes from the same breeder our one of our other girls Nova comes from, Alubyc Kennels in Australia. I love the structure and temperament of these Alubyc dogs! We are very hopeful and excited for this litter! We also plan to breed Nova to Asher around March/April for a summer litter. These should be beautiful, good-natured pups! Pending health clearances, Oakley will be bred later this year as well. Happy Fall, everyone! I’ve had a few inquiries and emails recently asking when we expect puppies next… our plans are to breed Hope and Nova later this winter which would mean puppies ready for homes in spring 2023. One or both girls will be bred to outside, approved studs (which also meet our high standards for breeding). All dates and plans are approximate as there are a lot of biological variables in breeding, and some we do not have a lot of control over. Please fill out an application under our 'Puppies' page if you are interested in being on our waitlist. Thank you!
Hope has been bred to Asher, we will confirm by ultrasound late March. Her puppies should be due late April, and ready for homes at 8 weeks mid-June. If you are interested in one of our puppies, please check out our 'FAQ's' and 'Puppies' pages for more information, and fill out our puppy application on the 'Puppies' page.
It looks as though Hope is FINALLY coming into heat! If all goes well, we will breed her with Asher this month, with puppies due late April, and ready for homes mid-to late June. If you are on our waitlist, you may contact us with any questions, or let us know if you are/are not still interested at this time. We will contact you soon with any update of progress. Thank you!
Lots of outdoor time every day, and indoors in the evening and at night! Puppies are becoming more agile, learning to go up and down the 3 steps on the back deck. We put the crates in their indoor pen and outdoor yard, as well as the outdoor igloo, and put kibble in them to entice the puppies to sniff and forage for it, incentivizes them to be in the crates/igloo. We put the wobble disk out and some puppies climbed on it immediately, some observed and took their time to approach. We are doing daily 'manding' sessions, where we capitalize on the puppies' natural way of 'asking' for what they want (they sit and look at you--it's very subtle, until you have all puppies doing it at once, then it looks like magic!) and rewarding them for it with kibble or cream cheese treat. Today we did a brief 'resource guarding prevention' session- we give the puppy a raw beef bone (super tasty!!) and then gently take it away and give them another tasty treat to reward them for giving it up, then give the bone back. This helps the puppy realize that when I take away their "prize", it's not always a bad thing and they do not get possessive and defensively guard the prize. Puppies are six weeks and receive both 6week deworming and a coccidiosis preventative.
