To our families waiting for a puppy,
We had truly hoped this update would bring the news you have been waiting for. Instead, it is with heavy hearts that we share that the ultrasounds confirmed neither of our girls is pregnant.
We know your hopes extend far beyond a spot on a waiting list. You may have pictured the first ride home, little paws following you from room to room, and the joy of welcoming a new companion into your family. We are deeply sorry to share news that means a longer wait for those moments.
This has been an emotional disappointment for us as well. Every planned litter begins with careful preparation, love for our girls, and hope for the puppies and families whose lives will come together. There were tears when we received the results, knowing what this news would mean to everyone waiting alongside us.
For this breeding attempt, the girls were bred using artificial insemination (AI) rather than transcervical insemination (TCI), as our specialist veterinarian was unavailable during their optimal breeding window.
Our greatest comfort is that both girls are healthy and doing well. We suspect Skyla may be experiencing a phantom pregnancy and are monitoring her closely. Both girls are receiving plenty of love and attention, and their health, comfort, and happiness will always guide our decisions.
We currently expect Willow to come into season in November. We will keep you informed as future plans are confirmed, while being thoughtful and honest about what we can reasonably expect.
Thank you for trusting us with something as meaningful as helping you welcome a new family member. We know how much love is already waiting for these puppies. Your patience, kindness, and understanding mean more to us than we can express.
