Yesterday was Visitation Day—the long-awaited moment when we begin pairing our growing puppies with their future families. It’s a day full of puppy kisses, happy tears, and so many smiles.
We thoughtfully prioritize temperament first, then gender, and finally physical characteristics. We spend a great deal of time learning about each family’s lifestyle, experience, and hopes, and we carefully observe each puppy to help make a match that shows every sign of being a wonderful fit.
We take this responsibility seriously because it matters—to the dog and to the family committing to 15+ years and a lifetime of memories together.
Every once in a while, something truly magical happens. Yesterday, a cardiology veterinarian selected a puppy, and only later—while looking back through younger puppy photos—did we notice the unmistakable heart marking on the puppy’s side, perfectly captured in this last image.
We don’t always get it perfect, but we try our very best. Because we believe that responsible breeding means doing everything we can to create the right fit—where both puppy and family can thrive. 🐾❤️
