Update: Olaf has joined his new family!

We have had an outpouring of interest in Olaf! We are working through details with a couple of families to decide where Olaf will best thrive! It's hard to choose only one when there are so many great families out there that are willing to give Olaf a forever family!!

📢 ⭐120 lbs of PURE LOVE is looking for his people!! ⭐🚨

💙 Meet Olaf 💙

This big, handsome boy has made his way back to us (Charlie/Scuba pup born on 1/28/25), and we’re now looking for the perfect family for him.

Olaf was returned to us through no fault of his own. His family’s circumstances changed, and he was simply spending far too much time home alone. They loved him enough to recognize that he deserved more time and companionship, and we’re grateful they trusted us to help find that for him.

And oh my goodness… this boy is SWEET. 🥰

Olaf is a big guy at approximately 120 pounds, but he is convinced he is a lap dog. 😂 He absolutely loves attention, cuddling, and being with his people. He has been trained on an underground/electric fence system and knows several basic commands.

He will need some continued work on his leash manners—he is a strong boy who gets pretty excited and definitely has some learning to do in that department! But he is a willing, loving dog who is eager to please.

What we’re looking for now is a family who will give Olaf what he really wants most: people to love him and time to spend with them. ❤️

If you think Olaf might be the big goofy Berner you’ve been looking for, please send us a message and tell us a little about your family and what life would look like for him with you.

We want to find this sweet boy a wonderful forever home where he can be spoiled, loved, and included. 🐾❤️

It was lovely seeing so many of Willa's puppies in yesterday's post! I thought it would be fun to share what Willa has been up to 🥰
Although she is now a retired mama, she's not retired from life here at Crow River Pups. She's still an important part of our program. Today she was showing our Bernese puppies the ropes as they practiced their "sit" command.

She'll always be our matriarch—the sweet, steady girl who leads by example. ❤️ We are so grateful for our Willa.

Today was all about learning! 🐾

Ace and AJ spent some time working on their "sit" command - we're proud to say they've pretty much mastered it! These boys are so smart and eager to learn 🥰

A special thank you goes to our retired mama and matriarch, Willa. ❤️ She leads by example - the puppies are always watching and learning from her calm, well-mannered ways.

Puppy update!

Midas & Millie ❤️

Midas and Millie are both Willa/Sully puppies, born two years apart. Their family recently sent an update saying they are great dogs, and that always makes our day! Thank you for the update and for giving these two such a wonderful home! 🐾💕

We love this fencing! We use it in the house, in the garage and outside - for our big dogs and the puppies. It can be used to keep your puppy contained in a safe space in your home or you can bring it with you anywhere you go. It's so easy to transport and a breeze to set up!

⭐Puppy Spotlight #2⭐ (Reserved ❤️)

Meet Bear!!

This handsome boy is a medium-energy puppy with a wonderful balance of affection and independence. He has a friendly, easygoing nature with both people and other dogs.

Bear enjoys human companionship but is also comfortable exploring his surroundings on his own. He is confident and recovers quickly from new experiences, with no notable reactivity to sights or sounds.

Bear has a great prey drive! He is very interested in movement and enjoys chasing and investigating, which could make him a promising candidate for hunting, field work, scent work, or other activities that tap into his natural instincts.

With his combination of friendliness, trainability, sound temperament, and working potential, this boy would be a great fit for an active family looking for a loyal companion who enjoys both adventure and downtime.

⭐ Puppy Spotlight #1⭐(Reserved 💚)

Meet Brooks!! (Green boy 💚)

At 7 weeks old, Brooks is already showing what a wonderful companion he's going to be! He is very people-oriented and naturally seeks out human interaction, making him an excellent choice for a family looking for a loyal and devoted best friend.

He loves playing with toys and enjoys engaging with his people. He is motivated to work with and please his human, which should make training both fun and rewarding. His confidence level is moderate—he is thoughtful and observant rather than bold and adventurous.

He has a lower energy level compared to some of his littermates and would likely thrive in a home looking for a calmer companion. He enjoys playtime but is equally happy spending quiet time with his people.

This affectionate boy is looking for a family that will continue to build his confidence, provide gentle guidance, and cherish the loving bond he is so eager to form.
