Luna
Luna is the most outgoing of our females! Eager to meet new people and spread the love, Luna is always first to welcome a guest to our home! She LOVES playtime and all toys and is especially fond of playing in our little pools and with the hose! She is definitely a water dog! Luna earned her International Championship Title at the November 2018 IABCA Competition. We are so proud of her and how well she performed during her appearance in the ring.

LUNA'S PUPS ARE HERE!!
Babies began arriving Saturday evening into the early Sunday morning hours. She had 11 beautiful sweethearts, healthy and wriggly! There are 7 girls and 4 boys. I was unable to get photos tonight, so I will upload them tomorrow morning. I've been contacting families today going down the reservation list. If you have not been contacted yet it simply means I am waiting to hear from the famil(ies) in from of you still! We're so excited for these sweet babies!

Sadly, the littlest girl passed away today. She just was not growing like her siblings and likely had developmental issues. We tried everything to help her grow, including separating all the pups away from Luna except her for special nursings, but she still continued to decline.

Week 7
12/25/21
As all of our families know, we experienced our first major tragedy this week from a sudden and fast-acting illness. We lost three beautiful puppies. I have been so upset and grieving their loss, so appreciate how gracious and kind everyone has been. The remaining pups are doing much better and should pull through. These are some of the sweetest photos, especially to see these babies doing so well. Merry Christmas to all and I'll be in touch for all pickup information, etc.

Temperament Testing
Linked below is an article with the complete temperament test for you to be able to view what the numbers below mean. As always, our pups have been very stable and typical for smart Retrievers! We continue to be proud of these sweet babies on behaving so well during their temperament tests. Also, keep in mind some scores are influenced by the moment (such as today, it was quite late when these were done and they were sleepy). This is just a guide to how we believe their personalities will unfold.

Week 5
12/11/21
One week from Choosing Day! Look for an email from me on Monday to go over Choosing Day and to find out if you plan to come in person or to FaceTime. If I don't have your email, please send it over! Otherwise, I will reach out to get it from you on Monday. This week I've added little bits about the pups, but they are still learning and developing. I feel like this little is one of the most similar groups we've ever had on temperament. I'm excited to see how they are next week! Temperament Testing will be done on Friday before Choosing Day.
Cedar
This sweet girl has a beautiful blocky head and sweet personality. She loves the kids and playing with toys!
Cypress
This dolly girl is such a beauty. She is obsessed with Stella (or is it the other way around?) and I had to include the sweetest photos of Stella NOT letting me photograph her alone.
Douglas
This dude is one of the biggest pups, but he's still figuring himself out. He has a gorgeous blocky head and is a total sweetheart.
Evergreen
This tiny baby girl is so curious! She loves to explore and cuddle.
Fir
This little boy. Man, he's stunning. He is such a character already and loves playing, toys, and is so interested in what's going on around him!
Hemlock
This little guy is such a cutie and looks more like Luna, in my opinion. He is a lap puppy and loves to snuggle!
Juniper
This sweet little girl is a mixture of playful and gentle. She loves to curl up in your arms.
Pine
Sweet, sweet girly here and so much fun! She has the quirkiest run and I hope she doesn't outgrow it. She loves toys and snuggles and all things fluffy.
Sequoia
Sequoia has such a beautiful head and of all the girls looks most like her daddy! She is pretty quiet and sweet at this point, but is still blossoming!
Spruce
Spruce is very sure of himself and already a great listener and wants to please! He is curious and sweet and such a cutie!
Week 4
12/04/21
Here we go, week 4! I went with "Christmas tree" names for these sweet babies and I think it's so cute! They are growing so sweet and starting to get their little personalities. I used to try to share bits of what they are like at four weeks, but over the years I've learned that they really change a lot between 4 and 5 weeks, so from now on I'm waiting for personal descriptions for 5 weeks. They are all so sweet, loving the kids, and starting to play with toys! I hope you enjoy these photos!! We also had one family decide to get a puppy at a later date, so one female is now available!

Week Three

So I kinda didn't think about the fact that we don't have wifi at our new house yet, so here I am, uploading not at home... One of these weeks, I promise photos will be up on time! But look how cute these babies are getting! They are starting to nibble on food and Luna is *finally* letting us give her bigger breaks from them (she still complained when I took them for their photoshoot, though). We are working really hard to make sure they are getting just as much socialization as normal amidst the move and they are soaking up the attention. Next week puppies are getting NAMES and individual photos, so stay tuned for that!

Week Two

Posting late once again and I'm sorry. My girls had RSV this weekend and it was pretty stressful. They are finally on the mend. We also have good news that we finally get to close on our new home and move it. So here's to hoping things will start going back to normal for us.
This week the puppies eyes opened and they are sooooo cute! They are starting to push up on all fours and waddle around too, which is adorable. They will start sampling food and water this week, but won't really eat anything until they are about three and a half weeks old. Luna continues to do very well, has put her weight back on, and still doesn't like to be let outside for too long. Next week my photos should hopefully be back up to standard when my camera gear gets unpacked! And, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

**Update 11/16/21
I uploaded these photos late Sunday after a whirlwind of a day and somehow in my exhaustion failed to hit publish. I just now noticed that it was not on the published site since on my end it appeared that they were there.
We had some sad news Friday and lost the littlest of the girls. She was quite a bit smaller than everyone else at birth and I'm fairly positive she was not developed properly. It was upsetting to lose her because we worked really hard to keep her strong, but did not succeed.
Everyone else is doing great and getting chunky! Luna is enraptured and loves cuddling them so much sometimes she doesn't even want to go out for a potty break. The puppies are using the cutest little barks to communicate with Luna now and when she comes in after going out to potty they make quite the howl. It's adorable. We can't wait to watch them to continue to grow!
