WHAT A "GOOD HOME" ACTUALLY MEANS TO A GOOD BREEDER

People say it all the time:

“I promise, they’ll have a good home.”
But what that means to me, as a breeder, goes so far beyond what most people think.

A “good home” isn’t just a nice house.
It isn’t square footage or a fenced yard or matching dog bowls.

It’s a feeling.
A standard.
A commitment.
A heart-space where a dog is truly seen, deeply loved, and intentionally cared for.

A good home is someone who understands this isn’t “just a dog.”
This is a piece of my heart.
A life I stayed up with at 2 AM.
A life I prayed over when they were the size of a lemon.
A life whose first breath I celebrated… and whose first latch I protected.

A good home is someone who shows up for that dog, not just the cute moments.

Someone who:
• rearranges their schedule without complaining.
• gets on the floor and comforts them through fear stages.
• trims nails even when the dog wiggles.
• shows patience through the puppy chaos.
• doesn’t quit when it gets inconvenient.

A good home is someone who asks questions, not someone who pretends they already know.

Someone who chooses growth.
Consistency over shortcuts.
Love over frustration.

A good home is someone who sends updates not because they HAVE to, but because they WANT to.

Those messages mean more to me than people realize.
When I see your puppy smiling in your arms.
When I see them with your kids.
When I see them sleeping in their new bed.

My heart exhales.

Because that’s when I know they’re safe.
That’s when I know I made the right choice.

A good home is someone who honors the contract not because it’s a rule, but because it protects the dog.

Someone who understands:
“If life ever falls apart, this puppy comes back to me.”

Not Craigslist.
Not a shelter.
Not a stranger.
Me.

A good home is someone who remembers that behind every puppy is a breeder who cared so deeply it hurt sometimes.

Who cried over the weak ones.
Who weighed them through the night.
Who kept mama comfortable.
Who didn’t travel because babies needed her.
Who poured time, money, emotion, prayer, and intention into every moment of their beginning.

A good home values that.
Respects that.
And cherishes the puppy because of it.

A good home isn’t perfect.
It’s present.
It’s committed.
It’s willing.
It’s loving.

A good home is someone who looks at this dog and thinks:
“You’re not here to make my life cuter, you’re here to be part of my family.”

That’s what I look for.
That’s what matters to me.
Not perfection.
Not aesthetics.
Not status.

But heart.
Real, patient, everyday love.

Because when I send a puppy home, I’m not “selling a dog.”
I’m trusting a stranger with a life I’ve carried in my hands.
A life I’ve already loved deeply.

And a good home is the kind of home where that love continues for the whole lifetime of the dog.

Team Eli had a fantastic weekend at the 2025 AKC National Dog Show in Orlando, Florida. Eli completed 8 Senior level Splashes to earn his Dock Senior Excellent title which qualified him for the 2026 Regionals in Distance, Air Retrieve, and Hydodash. He also scored a 90 in Rally and earned his first Advanced leg (off lead) and 3rd place. Afterwards we had some rest and relaxation at Daytona Beach Shores. Huge Thank Yous go out to the SouthEast Mobile Dock Crew and Orlando Dog Training Club for making this such an extraordinary experience.

Eli is a Merida/Archie son owned by Anita Montgomery. So super proud of Eli and Anita!!
