I can't believe I captured both of these shots 😍 This dog is so photogenic 🫶🏼

Adeline 5 yrs old, Fall 2026

As we enter the last quarter of the year I figured I'd give everyone an update 😊 Adi has recovered very well from her last litter a year ago 💕 and we are excited to do at least one more litter with her 🤩 We are expecting her to go into heat around December/January, which means Spring puppies 🤭 very fitting for her first and last litter to be around the same time 😍 I am have been so pleased with this last litter of pups and how they have matured, I will post an update probably in November. We have a very busy October, so I might miss their 1 yr update 🫣 but I promise to get one out as quickly as I can!
These pups have been amazing and the perfect family companions for families of varying stages of life.
We are putting together a contact list for potential families interested in a pup next year. If that is you, send an email to [email protected]. We will keep you in the loop on our plans, when the wait-list is open, and when Pups are born.

Two dogs fighting over who gets a bath first 😂

I get asked a lot how I got these two to love baths so much. The honest answer is lots of treats and lots of positive reinforcement. I've created very happy experiences with the bath. As puppies they get "baths" once a week and experience on the grooming table. I splash a little water on them, let them play, towel them off and practice sitting nice for the blow dryer and through nails. It's a short 45-60 minute experience full of fun for them. I do not focus on making them look good. Just cared for and worked on their behavior. All puppies go through an awkward phase anyway 🤷🏼‍♀️ so I'm not worried about making them the prettiest pup.

Going slow and knowing your pups limits is the biggest key. By practicing things will help build your relationship with your dog and help them be more comfortable in anxious situations with you.

Zuko is always happy to see anyone 😊 but if it's someone he knows, you know you get extra wiggles and an Aussie smile out of him 🤭

Happy 5th birthday Adeline 🎉🎈

I could not ask for a better first companion 🥺 she is the sweetest, smartest pup 💜 she is always down for an adventure, asking me to teach her a new trick and making new friends 😍
She is a perfect foundation dog for our program 🐾

Zuko is my office buddy this afternoon 🤭 I love how sweet and easy going this boy is! I could not ask for a better male to add to our program 😍
I may or may not have started the countdown until his first litter 😂 I'm so excited to see what sweet, calm and beautiful puppies he will throw 🤞🏻

Working on the website today! Finally getting Zuko's stuff updated and adding some details here and there. I might write a blog post 🤷🏼‍♀️ we will see if I have time 😂 little man needs a bath before his last vet appointment today.

Thank you all for your patience, I know it's been slow with posts since Adi's last litter went home. I'm hoping to get some more fun summer content up for you guys.

In the meantime, enjoy puppy Zuko napping on his back 😴 this is his favorite position to sleep in 😂 I have so many screenshots of him napping like this on different days.
