While all the other dogs run awry, just this one always runs next to the buggy...

There's got to be a scientific explanation for this, right?

Does anyone else here use GoodDog as a platform for litter announcements?

I do, but WOW they have started charging so much to the puppy parents. These people are paying upwords of an extra $160 on top of the puppy price.

Initially, they told us this extra fee was their insurance and the buyers could opt out of it. Since then, its changed, and if the potential buyer finds me via GoodDog, I can't tell them "Hey, I can save you almost $200 if you get off this platform and find me on FB" because then I will get the axe.

Do yall have any adverse feelings about these fees on top of the puppy pricing or am I just overreacting as usual?

Love Isn’t Measured in Calories..It’s Measured in Quality of Life. 🐾

​As a breeder and a dog owner, I see a lot of misinformation about what a "happy" or "well-loved" dog looks like.

There’s a common misconception that a heavy, round dog is a sign of a pampered life. In reality, it’s often the opposite.

​We tend to project our human emotions onto our pets, treating food as a love language. When they beg, we see "starving"; when they eat, we see "happiness." But for our dogs, that constant overfeeding creates a cycle of health struggles that no treat can make up for.

FREQUENTLY, I hear and see people refer to their morbidly obese dogs as being "all muscle!" or bragging that their dog is heavier than the breed should be. Ie: I have a 75lb Springer! I have a 120lb Doberman! I have an 110lb Dalmatian! Guys, that is NOT a flex, that's disgusting!

​Being a responsible owner means prioritizing long-term vitality over short-term gratification:

​A lean, athletic build isn't just about appearance; it’s about the ability to move, breathe, and enjoy life without the chronic pain of joint strain and organ stress.

​It’s easy to think a dog looks "healthy" when they look like the ones we see in media, but many of those animals are medically obese. I strive to keep my dogs at an ideal weight because I want them to be by my side for as long as possible.
​
Real love isn't found in a bag of treats. It’s in the training, the active play, the grooming, and the work we do together.

​At 31 Pines, I hold my dogs to a higher standard of health. My goal isn't to have the "fluffiest" dog, but the healthiest, most capable partner.
​Next time you want to show your dog some extra love, consider a new toy, an extra session of training, or a long walk. They’ll feel the difference, and their health will thank you for it.

A little late to the party, but celebrating American spirit! 🇺🇸

​Even though the 250th birthday of the U.S. just passed, I’ve been reflecting on how much I love that our kennel at 31 Pines is home to two truly American breeds.

​There’s something special about working with dogs that have such deep roots in our own history. The Boykin Spaniel, the pride of South Carolina, and the Rat Terrier..both are as American as it gets!

🫡As a veteran-owned kennel, it’s a privilege to help carry on the legacy of these versatile, hard-working breeds.

​Do you have a favorite American-bred dog? Let me know in the comments! 🐾
