Today we drove out of the driveway of our Lawrencetown Beach home for the very last time… and it felt like leaving a piece of our hearts behind.

That wasn’t just a house — it was almost a decade of our lives. It was where almost every one of our dogs was born, and where love filled every single corner. The sound of paws on the floors, the chaos of puppies, the quiet moments curled up together — it all happened there.

It was also where we lost Maverick. Walking out of those doors for the last time broke me, because I was leaving behind the last place we ever had him with us. His memory is etched into those walls, into the yard, into the air of that home. I can still see him there, still feel him there. Leaving for good hit harder than I could ever have prepared for.

When we first moved in, we were just a couple of kids figuring life out. In that house, we grew into adults. We faced some of the darkest storms life has thrown at us, but we also experienced some of the most beautiful moments. We learned how to hold on tighter, to love harder, to keep going even when it felt impossible. That house saw us at our lowest, but it also saw us at our strongest.

I never realized how much those walls held until today — all the joy, the heartbreak, the growing pains, and the love. Driving away for the last time, it all came rushing back.

Now we’re stepping into a new home, one that’s perfect for us and full of promise for the life we’re still building. But no matter how wonderful the future is, I’ll forever be grateful for our little piece of paradise in Lawrencetown Beach. It gave us so much more than a place to live. Now, we hope it will be everything the new owners could ever hope and dream for too.

Lawrencetown Beach will always hold a huge part of our story… and even bigger part of our hearts. ❤️

Homesick for time with our Mentors and their dogs. This is the longest we’ve gone without visiting with them since we became family 6 years ago 😓❤️

Looking forward to getting settled into our new home and planning a visit to beautiful Tioga County, NY!

A month over two and the glimpses of maturity are apparent for Tioga! She’s sporting her summer bikini and needs a couple lbs put on, but we’re excited to get her back in the ring soon!

I’ll never be okay with the way that we lost you.
But I’m okay with the way we grieve you.
You deserve to be missed this much.

7 years. We’ve missed him longer than we had him. Thank you for starting us on this amazing journey, Mav ❤️

12.5 years young and still running the show.
She’s cranky, opinionated, dramatic, and completely unbothered by your nonsense—
and we wouldn’t have her any other way ❤️

We never imagined leaving the ocean. The beach has been our constant—where so many of our memories were made, and where it all began.

Maverick and Maida were the first to leave their paw prints in this sand. They were the start of everything: our journey in this breed, our purpose, our heart. Mav is gone now, and Maida is growing older, but their spirits are woven into every wave and grain of salt here. We raised them by the sea. We became who we are because of them.

Now, life is calling us inland—away from the familiar rhythm of the tides and toward a new chapter. It’s bittersweet, leaving behind the place that holds so much of our soul. But the memories we’ve made on this coastline, with the two dogs who started it all, will stay with us—always ❤️🌊

“The head is broad and deep, not coarse or clumsy, but in proportion to the size of the dog. The expression is soft and indicates an affectionate disposition. The eyes are obliquely placed in the skull. Eyes are brown, almond shaped and of medium size. Dark eyes are preferred. The ears are of medium size, but small in proportion to the head. The ears are triangular in shape and slightly rounded at the tips. They are set wide apart on the outside back edges of the skull on line with the upper corner of the eye, giving ears the appearance, when erect, of standing off from the skull. Erect ears point slightly forward, but when the dog is at work, the ears are sometimes folded against the skull. The skull is broad and moderately rounded between the ears, gradually narrowing and flattening on top as it approaches the eyes, rounding off to cheeks that are moderately flat. There is a slight furrow between the eyes. The topline of the skull and the topline of the muzzle show a slight break downward from a straight line as they join. The muzzle is large and bulky in proportion to the size of the skull, diminishing slightly in width and depth from junction with the skull to the nose. In all coat colours, except reds, the nose, lips and eye rims pigmentation is black. Brown is permitted in red dogs. The lighter streaked “snow nose” is acceptable. The lips are close fitting. The upper and lower jaws are broad with large teeth. The incisors meet with a scissors grip.”

Some of our candids from this past weekend at Charlotte County Kennel Club!

Vincent was WD/BOW at show 1 to finish his Canadian Championship! Big thanks to our friend Jessy for taking him back in for me while I was on Busy! He then was moved up to a Special and went on to win Select Dog at the 3 remaining shows, including at the AMCC Booster! Vincent was handled the rest of the weekend by his Uncle .lous 💙👨🏼‍🎨

Busy made me so proud this weekend! She remembered all she was taught, moved beautifully, behaved like a Special should and took home 3 Best of Opposite S*x wins including at the AMCC Booster, and one Select Win! She is now close to her Canadian Grand Championship!

We had an amazing time with friends, it’s always a good time when I’m away with my besties at and spending the weekend with and my grandbaby Astrid as well as is a treat we don’t often get!

Happy anniversary to my favourite person — the one who keeps me grounded, keeps me laughing, and somehow puts up with a house full of malamutes (and me) ❤️

You are the king of terrible dad jokes, and the best puppy raiser I could have ever hoped for. You love hard, care deeply, and show up for our little circus every single day without complaint — even when there’s p*e pads in the living room and dog hair in places dog hair should never be.

You’ve stood beside me through the wildest chapters — road trips, whelping box vigils, late-night stress and early-morning snuggles — and never once made me feel like I was in it alone. You make the hard days lighter and the good days even sweeter. You are the calm in the chaos, the steady hand when things get messy, and the person I’ll always choose.

I’m so proud of this life we’ve built — messy, magical, and full of malamutes — and I’m even prouder to call you mine.

Here’s to more kitchen dancing, more adventures, more puppies and absolutely no less dog hair. I love you endlessly. ❤️

✨ Maida ✨
Our queen, our chaos, our heart.

She’s the foundation of our breeding program — the one who started it all. She’s Evan’s unofficial PTSD support dog, and she takes that role as seriously as she takes stealing snacks, getting into the trash and ignoring commands.

At 12.5 years old, Maida still thinks she’s a puppy (with the manners to match). She’s loud, stubborn, demanding… and the best thing that’s ever happened to us.

Here’s to our terribly behaved old lady — our forever first. ❤️

The queens have officially left the building just shy of 2 weeks ago—and the house is way too quiet without all that chaos and charisma! 👑✨ They’re off living their best lives now: getting spoiled, stealing hearts, and serving looks in their new homes. We’ll always love them, always miss them, and always be cheering them on from backstage. 💋💖
