I don't know when exactly I became the person who looks at a 130lb dog and thinks, you know what this house needs? Another one. 😂

But here we are. (no, I haven't added anyone new, I'm just saying)

They're huge. They're hairy. They're wet approximately 97% of the time. There is drool on things that shouldn't even be physically possible to drool on. I vacuum and then immediately need to vacuum again. I mop my WALLS. My actual walls.

And I wouldn't change a damn thing.

These dogs are such a huge part of my life. They're my shadows, my comfort, my chaos, my reason I can never wear black without also wearing half a Newfoundland.

And somehow, even surrounded by all of this...

I'll still see another Newf and think,

"I could fit one more." 😂🖤

This is Kinson Ridge Giants. Where personal space doesn't exist and apparently neither does a dog limit. 🐾

Just an update post because I'm changing how deposits + puppy picks will work for our future litters. 🖤

I’m calling it The Flik Rule. 🥺

Going forward, our $500 deposits will reserve your spot on the waitlist for a specific litter — NOT a specific puppy.

You can absolutely have favorites. You can tell me which one you’re obsessed with from day one. You can change your favorite 47 times as they grow. 😂 I fully expect all of that.

But nobody will officially have “their puppy” at 2, 3 or 4 weeks old anymore.

They’re all mine until they’re cleared to be yours. 🖤

I know waiting until around 8 weeks to officially know which baby is yours is probably going to be annoying. I know it kind of sucks. I know it’s not ideal when you’ve spent weeks watching them grow and you’re already completely obsessed with one.

But we’re going to let these babies grow. We’re going to watch their personalities come out. We’re going to learn who is wild, who is chill, who wants to live directly inside your skin 😂 and who would rather be off doing their own thing.

And most importantly, I want them to have their vet checks before I tell a family that a puppy is theirs. - Once they’re around 8 weeks old, have had their health exams and I feel comfortable with where everyone is health-wise, we’ll make our official matches. Waitlist order will absolutely matter, but so will making sure the puppy you take home actually makes sense for YOU and your family.

I know how quickly you fall in love with these little potatoes. You name them. You buy their stuff. You picture where they’re going to sleep and what your life is going to look like with them.

They’re already yours in your head. - And I just can’t let someone spend weeks believing a puppy is already theirs and then have something happen that changes everything. - Not again.

Obviously, I can never promise that a puppy will never have a health issue. Nobody can. But I CAN give them those first 8 weeks.
I can do everything within my control before I officially put that puppy into somebody else’s heart.

So yes, you might be yelling at me by week 6 because you NEED TO KNOW WHICH ONE IS YOURS. 😂 And I’m okay with that.

Because if doing it this way can save even one other family from experiencing that kind of heartbreak, it’s worth every bit of the waiting. Sometimes something happens that changes the way you do things forever.

Flik did that for me. 🖤

So this rule is for him.🐾

I know everyone has been waiting on this big tank.
Here is your Hopper UPDATE! 🧡

His Mama sent me this:

Every morning begins the same way: with 65 pounds of pure, fluffy affection invading the bed. Hopper is convinced he is a lap dog, putting his front paws up on the mattress for us to lift him
up the rest of the way for his mandatory morning routine of kisses and cuddles. With the sweetest, most mellow temperament of any puppy we have ever had, it is impossible to deny him
his morning snuggle time.

Once out of bed, Hopper transforms into a creature of absolute focus - food. Hopper can be sound asleep in another room, but the exact second the microwave dings or the fridge opens, he is on his feet and running for the kitchen. He comes charging down the hall like a gentle, furry freight train, ready for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. And if we happen to be running a few minutes late with his meal? Hopper has no problem defiantly letting us know that mealtimes are officially being delayed.

The dynamic between the two dogs is a comedy routine in itself. Finn, a high-energy Golden Retriever, loves to tear across the grass, running wild, dizzying circles around his little brother.

Hopper, ever the quiet thinker, simply sits perfectly still in the center of the yard like a calm island in the middle of a golden storm watching Finn. Then, just when Finn thinks he has the upper hand, Hopper chooses his moment perfectly, leaping up to jump at his brother in a sudden, playful ambush.

He absolutely adores his big brother, and despite his calculating yard games and vocal dinner demands, Hopper remains the gentlest, sweetest addition to our family—even if the bed feels just
a little bit smaller every single morning.

We love him so much and it feels like he has been part of our family for a lot longer than 3 months!

Next up is Argus, previously “Heimlich” 💚

MY BOY. 😭 Look how freaking handsome he is getting!!

Argus was one of those puppies I had such a soft spot for, and apparently that hasn't changed because every time his family sends me pictures I'm like LOOK AT MY BABY. 😂

He's growing like an absolute w**d, living his best life with his family here in New Hampshire, and looking more and more grown up every time I see pictures of him. 🐛🐾

Another Puppy update!! 🥹🖤

Next up is Midge, previously “Atta” 💜

She is simply stunning!!!

Midge is living her best life with her family right here in New Hampshire, and I absolutely love getting to watch her grow.

I don't think the excitement of getting puppy updates will ever wear off. I raised these little nuggets for 8+ weeks, worried about them constantly, cleaned up approximately 847 million poops, loved the absolute s**t out of them...and then just sent them off into the world. So YES, I want the pictures. I want the random updates. I want to know what weird thing they're obsessed with this week.

Keep 'em coming because I'm forever going to be that annoying breeder who still calls them my babies. 😂🖤

Starting off some puppy updates because some of you guys have been asking to see how our Bugs Life babies are doing! 🥹🖤

First up is Mabel, previously "Rosie" 🩷

LOOK HOW BIG SHE IS GETTING. 😭 I swear in my head they're all still tiny little potatoes running around my living room.

She is living the good life with her family and apparently loves helping out with her pet chickens!

I seriously LOVE getting these pictures and watching the babies we raised grow up. Keep them coming because I will neverrrrr get sick of seeing them. 😂🖤

Meet Ursula 🖤

Our big beautiful black girl is officially over the one-year mark, and somehow this giant baby is actually starting to grow up on us. 🥹

Ursula recently had her one-year OFA prelims done and PASSED, which was a pretty exciting milestone for us! There’s still more growing and health testing to do, but if everything continues looking the way we hope, she’ll be a first-time mama sometime next summer-ish. 🖤 (which feels absolutely insane to say because I swear she was just a fluffy little puppy running around here five minutes ago)

Personality-wise, Ursula is just...Ursula. 😂 She’s sweet, goofy, loving, and her tongue is hanging out of her mouth more often than it’s actually IN her mouth. 👅 I genuinely don’t know what the problem is, but at this point it’s just part of her face.

And we lovingly call her Terk sometimes because the hair on top of her head gives us serious Terk-from-Tarzan vibes. 😂 Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

She’s growing into such a gorgeous girl, but she’s still very much a giant puppy who keeps us on our toes constantly.

We’re really excited about what the future holds for her here at Kinson Ridge Giants, but for now she will just keep being our goofy, tongue-out, Terk-haired Ursa baby. 🖤🐾

People think I’m crazy because I never want to go anywhere.

“Don’t you want to take a vacation?”
“Don’t you ever want to get away?”

Honestly…no.

I spend half my life cleaning. 😂 I swear I clean 200 times more than the average person. I mop my walls daily (yes, my walls), my floors never stay clean, there’s always dog hair somewhere, and someone is always tracking in mud.

It’s chaos.
But it’s my chaos.

The thought of being away from my dogs for days doesn’t sound relaxing to me—it makes me feel sick. I spend the whole time wondering what they’re doing, if they’re okay, and counting down the seconds until I get back home.

People think home is a place.
For me, home is everyone who’s in it.

My family. My dogs. The noise. The mess. The routine. The muddy paw prints. The slobber on my clothes. The giant heads resting in my lap.

They’re the reason I work so hard.

So why would I want to take a break from the very things I love the most?

I’ll take my crazy, messy, dog-filled life over a long beach trip any day. ❤️🐾
