🐾✨ Time to share the world’s worst-kept secret…

Alex and Nikki have only gone and added a new member to the family (no, not a baby) — meet Aggie! 🐶💛

We’ve been so lucky to be trusted with this fantastic Labrador pup from an incredible breeder. The care, thought, and attention that went into both the mating and rearing of this litter has been second to none — a huge thank you to Ali and family for giving Aggie the very best start in life.

So, what’s the plan for little Aggie?
👉 In the long run, she’ll be stepping into some of Buck’s paws and starting her journey in aiding dogs with reactivity as well as detection and scentwork (once she’s old enough).
👉 She’ll also be exploring the world of gundog work as she grows.

In the meantime, we’ll be sharing updates on Aggie’s adventures — from the ups and downs of puppy training to what it takes to raise a working pet dog.

Keep your eyes peeled for puppy spam, training tips, and plenty of behind-the-scenes moments. 🐾💛
