Like the lions at the zoo, Nitro gettin’ down with his giant ball 🤣….then there is Orzi just staying the heck out of his way 😂

I promise we do have a bigger pool 🤦‍♀️…actually 2 of them 🤣

Figured I’d post the bloopers instead of the pretty polished ones…they have more character 🤣

Rip is like “Oh no not again!….but wait can I eat this thing?”

Me saying “Rip stay, fix your ears, please put your pe**er away” 🤦‍♀️

💖 Because every dog needs their own 7” memory foam bed with a bolster cooling bed on top for those summer months 💖
Orzi agrees 🥰

Fendi, Dru (d litter), and Alfred (a litter) enjoying a hike and swim in the Rockies this weekend 😊
Love having dog owners turned great friends visit with their dogs for fun and training, or just because 🥰

I absolutely love getting to watch dogs from my program work, especially when their owners make trips to stay with us and get some good training in! ❤️
We are so blessed to have a village on and off site when needed ☺️
The “Altvater Ranch” is having a fun week with Alfred from our A litter and Dru from the D litter learn, sharpen, and enhance their skills towards their next thing 😁
Thank you for fitting them in this week!
Great work

Today’s new puppy experiences included a little puppy agility, a car ride, and meeting horses in a safe and controlled environment.
Every new thing I can allow them to see and do while they spend their first weeks of life with me is not only crucial for their development, but it is pure joy to experience these “firsts” with these precious creatures 🥰
