Look at these beautiful babies! They are so doing great! And B’Elanna is a wonderful mommy!

We have so many shades of colors! Dark red to almost white. It’s amazing!!

Mommy is our family pet. We have her mom snd dad too! She loves to swim and go “bye bye car”!

So much love!

This is so true. We breed Goldens because we love the breed and want to bless others. We have a litter now 2 days old and canceled all our plans to help our sweet momma and her pups. We love her and her babies! And pray that they will all have loving homes where they will change someone’s life with love beyond measure!

A HUGE reason I leave raising puppies so exhausted and drained. They get all of me, as they should ♥️

Ever wonder how many sacrifices hide behind every litter?

Breeding isn’t just adorable puppy photos and endless puppy snuggles— it’s an ocean of unseen no’s and not-this-times.

⸻

🐾 TIME: “Off-duty” doesn’t exist
• Weekends, trips, vacations—all postponed or cut short.
• Plans outside of the house? Not while puppies are in the whelping box.
• Peaceful sleep? Impossible when a restless, expectant mom paces.

In breeding, every minute matters.

⸻

🐾 MONEY: The outflow never ends
• Top-tier breeding dogs cost—sometimes eye-wateringly so.
• Health screenings, genetic panels, shows, travel, premium nutrition, supplements, C-sections, meds, vaccines, gear—thousands of dollars.
• Profit? Some litters barely break even; some land you in the red.

⸻

💔 EMOTIONS: Patience forged in heartache
• A puppy slipping away in your hands.
• A mom that can’t whelp on her own.
• Telling a hopeful family “no” because the match isn’t right.
• Giving everything, yet receiving criticism, envy, or misinformation in return.

⸻

🐾 ROLES: Breeder—and so much more

Nurse • Neonatologist • Foster mom • Geneticist • Logistics manager • Photographer • Janitor • Psychologist • Lifelong adviser

⸻

🐾 RELATIONSHIPS: Constantly tested
• “Can’t meet—my girl’s in labor.”
• “Sorry—a puppy is acting “off”; I’m on watch.”
• “No, I won’t leave them—it’s my responsibility.”

Some understand. Others drift away.

⸻

♥️ THROUGH IT ALL: LOVE

Love for the breed, for each fragile life.
Love that wakes you ten times a night.
Love that refuses shortcuts.
Love that sends healthy, confident puppies into the world, even when you’re exhausted.

⸻

🐶 A responsible breeder isn’t just a “puppy person.”
They trade personal comfort for canine welfare, measure success in wagging tails—not dollars—and willingly live between exhilaration and heartbreak.

Respect responsible breeders. They pour heart, time, and resources into every litter—often unnoticed, always essential.

Breeding is far more than cute puppy pics ♥️

BABY UPDATE: We are getting closer. She has been nesting all day and not eating.

Say a prayer for an easy delivery. It might be tonight. 🥰🎉🥰

Sweet momma is getting close to delivery. Her temp has dropped and she is resting in her whelping box. She’s been nesting all night looking for a good spot and finally chose the box.

I think we are close. 🥰🎉🥰

Good morning! From all the babies! B’Elanna is doing great and her belly is getting bigger. She’s loving the cooler weather too.

Pray for her to be healthy and the puppies to grow and be ready to be born this week. Praise God for life in all of His creatures!

Have a blessed day!

B’Elanna’s belly is getting bigger! And, she is still full of energy. She gets more loving everyday if that’s even possible.

We are watching her temperature. When it drops slightly she will deliver in 24 hours.

There’s a full moon this weekend so my daughter in law says it will probably happen then. 🥰🦋🥰

Getting ready for puppy love!!
