Six weeks and so much fun! Everyone is lively, curious, friendly and oh so silly. From the sweet shy guy to the bold and beautiful and everything in between 😂 These Hawaiian Islands are such a smart litter, and for there being so many, they are doing excellent with their crate and potty training, being handled regularly, playing with the big dogs and overall just in instilling that happy demeanor that is so quintessential to this breed 🥰

Well… this is embarrassing 🫠

Today during a FaceTime puppy visit, I confidently introduced a family to…the WRONG PUPPY.

Like…confidently. I talked about her, showed them her little face, explained her personality and carried on as if I knew exactly what I was doing. 😂

And then they texted me afterward wanting to check which puppy it was 🙄

They were absolutely right to do so because I showed the wrong Blenheim girl 😭

I felt TERRIBLE.

Because I know these families are excitedly waiting to meet their puppy. They pay attention to the little details, learn their puppy’s markings and personality, and trust me to know exactly who is who.

So yes — I messed up.

I apologized, corrected it, and made sure they got the puppy visit they were actually supposed to have.

And honestly, this is one of the reasons I want to be open about the reality of running a small, home-based breeding program.

Behind the cute puppy pictures, there are also two very young children, dogs, laundry, meals, messages, FaceTime calls, and approximately 52 things happening at once. 😂

Sometimes the puppies are all doing their best impression of each other, someone needs a snack, someone is crying, the dogs are barking… and apparently my brain occasionally decides to clock out. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I am human.

That doesn’t mean I take what I do lightly. Quite the opposite.

I don’t want to pretend I’m a breeder who never makes a mistake. I want to be a breeder who owns her mistakes.

If I get something wrong, I want my families to feel comfortable telling me. I want to correct it, learn from it, and improve the systems I use so it happens less often.

Because transparency doesn’t mean only showing when “I’ve got this”. It means being honest when I don’t.

So today’s lesson:

DOUBLE-CHECK THE PUPPY BEFORE YOU START THE FACETIME. 😂

Noted. VERY noted.

And to the family who caught my mistake — thank you for being gracious about it. ❤️

I love my puppies.
I love my families.
And I take the responsibility they place in me seriously.

But apparently I’m not above showing someone the wrong puppy 😂

Welcome to real life at Hanai Cavaliers. 😅🐶

Our Hawaiian Islands litter has hit 4 weeks 🥰 Little puppy attitudes are emerging, as well as their teeth! Play fighting is real and absolutely precious. Little Kahoʻolawe finally hit the 1 lb club, and man is she a sassy girl! We are firmly in the fun puppy period and enjoying every minute of it 😁

• 6 are reserved

We do this with every litter, though with there being 8 puppies this time around we definitely got a jumpstart on it.

it may not be the most aesthetic photo, but this is what I woke up to this morning and I couldn’t be more proud!

There were a couple close calls, but the sleeping spot was untouched. We will keep at it and make sure pads are regularly changed out, not only for cleanliness but to also continue tracking their success.

For so many puppies and them being just about four weeks old, we are happy with the current progress!

We are searching for the perfect fit for the Blenheim boy we want to hold back for our program! Hopefully on Kauai, but open to any island for the right family 🌺

Please reach out if you would like to know about how the program works, but rest assured this puppy would be all yours and will remain with you after “retirement”!

Our PetSafe® drinking fountain has been a staple in our house and breeding program over the last 10 years.

The running water keeps it fresh and appealing to our cat, Cavaliers, various breeds of dog boarders over the years, visiting cats, and our Cavalier puppy litters of course!

It has gone strong all this time and as silly as it sounds, I feel blessed that it has lasted this long, moving to and from Arizona twice, to and from Oahu twice and our various homes across the years on Kauai.

Even now it still works sporadically so I may save it for our lanai, but it has more than done it’s duty 🫡

So farewell old friend and aloha newbie, you have big shoes to fill 😂

Kahana is staying with us while her guardian is on the mainland and until we can verify if she is pregnant with Hapa puppies. This would be her first litter so we are hopeful 🙏🏽 If not, then she will be going home to Oahu the end of next month. Until then, we are loving having her back with the pack! 🌺
