People have started using OFA testing like it is a morality badge šŸ˜³ It is not! OFA is definitely important. I am not saying it isnā€™tā€¦ Health testing matters, and I do think breeders should be doing more than guessing and hoping for the best! However, OFA is ONE piece of an humongous puzzle. It does NOT automatically make a breeder ethical, and it definitely does not erase poor breeding choices!

You can OFA a dog and still be breeding nonsense. Yes, I said it! šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

You can OFA a fluffy ā€˜French Bulldogā€™. That does NOT make it a responsible decision šŸ¤£ This is already a HEAT SENSITIVE, brachycephalic breed! Intentionally adding a winter coat because you think itā€™s cute is NOT preservation. Itā€™s negligenceā€¦

You can OFA a ā€œbig ropeā€ dog. That does NOT mean breeding for excessive skin, extra weight, folds, heaviness, and more airway risk is suddenly ā€˜okayā€™. We already have enough to manage in this breed without people adding problems on purpose and calling it cute šŸ™„ You can OFA a Frenchie crossed with Shar-Pei and pretend youā€™re doing your due diligence... It actually makes me feel worse, because now we are pretending testing somehow cancels out the decision to mix an already complicated breed with another breed known for skin, airway, and temperament concernsā€¦

Health testing is supposed to support GOOD breeding decisions. It is not supposed to be used as a shield for bad ones!

Ethical breeding is not just submitting X-rays and checking boxes. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø It is looking at the WHOLE dog. It is structure, movement, breathing, temperament, skin, spine, recovery, function, and quality of life. It is also knowing when something should NOT be bred, even if it is cute, rare, trendy, or profitable.

That is the part people do not likeā€¦ The real question is not, ā€œDid you OFA?ā€ā€¦ The REAL question is, ā€œWhat are you doing with that information?ā€ AND ā€œWhat are you choosing to create in the first place?ā€

I think one of the biggest misconceptions in dog ownership is that a confident dog should want to meet everyone! I donā€™t agreeā€¦

I donā€™t need my dogs to say hello to every person they pass, to play with every dog they see, to be overly social, overly excited, or convinced that every outing is a networking eventā€¦ I need them to be neutral!

There is a BIG difference between a dog who is confident and a dog who is frantic with enthusiasm. A confident dog can notice the world without feeling the need to insert itself into every situation! They can walk past another dog without making it a whole productionā€¦ They can see people, hear noise, observe movement, and still keep their brain! This matters to me far more than a dog who is ā€œfriendlyā€ in the way normal pet people often mean...

Some dogs are naturally more social and some are more reserved. I donā€™t think either is automatically better. What I care about is REGULATION. Can the dog recover? Can they settle? Can they think? Can they exist in a busy world without needing constant management That is what I am looking for!

I think people put a lot of pressure on dogs to be extroverted because it makes HUMANS feel good. We want the dog who runs up, melts into everyone, loveS everyone, and looks cute doing it! Then we act confused when that same dog has no off switch, no boundaries, and no ability to ignore anything!!!

Neutrality is underratedā€¦ A dog quietly minding its own business is not boring to me. It is not cold. It is not ā€œless friendly.ā€ In a lot of cases, it is exactly what I want to see!

My goal is NOT a dog who loves everyone. My goal is a dog who is secure enough NOT to need to šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

PB&J are 4.5 weeks old šŸ˜ when I paired these two together I was aiming for healthy, happy, smart blondes and I think I succeeded! My females generally have a tendancy to be extremely bright, independent and sassy. My boys for the most part are softer and more cuddly!

Naturally, Peanut šŸ’™ being the boy is the less independent. He loves to cuddle and watch the madness that his sisters create lol heā€™s still very confident for his ageā€¦ this litter is not to be underestimated šŸ˜¬

Butter is the calmest of the three. she reminds me of her grandpa Mirrey. She can settle and lay down just about anywhere lol still very inquisitive, human oriented and vocal!

Lastly, we have Jelly šŸ’œ, the smallest but feistiest of the 3. She is uber confident, hilarious and looks exactly like her papa at this point šŸ« 

These 3 have surpassed my expectations and I canā€™t wait to watch them mature the next few weeks šŸ„¹

Choosing a keeper puppy is not the same thing as choosing your favourite puppy, and I think that is one of the parts of breeding that people do not always understand from the outside. It would be much easier if the decision was simply based on which puppy I was most attached to or visually preferred. Those things matter obviously because I am human and I have a preferred style, but they are not enough to build a breeding program around!
Sometimes one puppy pulls at your heart immediately. She has expression with the attitude to match, presence, and that little spark that makes you want to keep watching her. She may look like the dog you hoped to produce, or remind you of your heart dog in the biggest way... That kind of pull is VERY real, and I do not think good breeders should ignore it, but I also do not think we can afford to be ruled by itā€¦
Then, there is the puppy who makes you think a little harderā€¦ She may not demand the room in the same way, but she shows you things that matter just as much! Ease, confidence without being extra, recovery, a good brain, and the ability to settle are not always what breeders are focused on at this stage, but they can matter a great deal when you are trying to picture the adult dog she may become!
That is the hardest part of evaluating a litter! I am not only looking at who is beautiful todayā€¦ I am looking at temperament, structure, movement, balance, and how each puppy uses their body. I am watching how they handle new things, how they interact with people, how quickly they recover and whether their personality feels like something I would want to preserve in the next generation! I do have goals too!
A keeper decision is not just about what I like today. It is about what the program needs tomorrow and next yearā€¦ One puppy may be more immediately charming, while another may have the steadiness, substance, and ease that makes more sense long term. That is where the decision becomes difficult, because your eye, your heart, and your goals are not always pointing to the same puppy at the same time.
From the outside it seems very simpleā€¦ the cuter puppy wins, but Iā€™m trying to decide which adult I want tied to my name in 2 years

There is a lot about breeding that people do not seeā€¦ They see the puppies once they are clean, fed, warm, gaining, and photographed. They do not see the amount of work it takes to get them to that point!

They do not see the mental checklist running all day everyday. Who ate well or did not, who gained or lost, who is full or gassy, who has a good latch, who is ready for solids or who still needs more time, does mom need more food or less, does she need calcium, rest, who overeats and needs to be separated? The list is ENDLESS and extremely glamorous šŸ’€šŸ¤Ŗ

It is not just puppies, either. The adult dogs still need to have structure. They need to be clean, trained, settled, and manageable, because everything bleeds into everything elseā€¦

A dog that is easy to live with makes the whole house run better. A dog that is not easy to live with adds work to a day that already has none to spare! That is the part that is invisible until it isnā€™tā€¦

The small things are not always small when they land on the person responsible for more than just pets...

A dog that will not cooperate with basic expectations is not just frustrating in the moment... A mom that needs extra support does not affect only herself. Every little thing changes the rhythm of the dayā€¦ When you are raising a litter properly, rhythm matters!

Breeding is not just producing puppies. It is managing the entire environment around them so they can develop well! It is timing, judgment, consistency, cleaning, feeding, watching, adjusting, and doing the boring things over and over until they look effortless from the outside šŸ¤Ŗ

That is usually when people think it must be easy šŸ™„ It is not easyā€¦ It is just supposed to look calm when it is done properly!
