Sixteen years ago, we welcomed our very first BellaDoodle litter into the world.
At the time, I had no idea what those tiny puppies would grow into. I certainly never imagined the thousands of families, lifelong friendships, happy tears at go-home day, updates, photos, and doodle kisses that would follow.
What started with one extraordinary dog named Bella became a dream that changed our lives.
As I reflect on 16 years of BellaDoodles, I can't help but think about one very special girl... Roxy.
Roxy was born in Bella's very first litter, and today she is celebrating her 16th birthday right alongside BellaDoodles.
Sixteen years. What a gift.
She has been here through it allโevery litter, every milestone, every success, every challenge. She carries a piece of Bella with her, just as every BellaDoodle puppy carries a piece of Bella's legacy forward.
These days, Roxy moves a little slower and naps a little longer, but her sweet spirit remains exactly the same. She is a living reminder of where it all began.
When people ask me what BellaDoodles means to me, it has never just been about puppies. It's about the dogs who leave paw prints on our hearts and the families who become part of our story.
Today we celebrate 16 years of BellaDoodles and 16 years of Roxy.
And here's to our beautiful Bella, whose legacy lives on in every puppy, every family, and every life touched by a BellaDoodle.
Thank you to every family who has trusted us over the past 16 years. We are so grateful to be a small part of your stories.
Happy Sweet 16, BellaDoodles.
Happy 16th Birthday, Roxy.
Here's to Bella, whose love started it all and lives on in every pup. โค๏ธ๐พ
