Maizy is definitely growing! A couple more weeks and we will see how many to expect. 😁🥰

I wanted to wait until we had official news to announce in case things didn't pan out. 😬

We should have babies arriving mid September! Maizy decided to throw us off again and came into season early. But we have a confirmed breeding with Harts Grand Boxers Napoleon! I'm over the moon excited about this pairing.

Random not boxer related post

I manage a local boarding/daycare facility and occasionally we have clients that ask for help finding a home for a dog that we have enrolled and we try to help. And then we also get random pleas to take in a dog. .

We had an older gentlemen contact the facility saying he had a dog that someone had dumped on a reservation in Owyhee county. He had been feeding her for a couple weeks and noticed her belly was getting bigger. He didn't want puppies so his ultimatum was someone takes her or he shoots her. 😖 I said to go ahead bring her in.

2 types of dogs have my heart, Boxers and cow dogs such as heelers and aussies. When I came in to see her, I fell in love. She appears to be a heeler/Aussie or Shepherd cross, maybe just over a year old. In order to bring her home I had to vaccinate her which is not ideal in pregnant females but we have to be safe at home. She was also covered in ticks so she was treated for them as well and dewormed. We took her to get an x ray to see how many babies we should be expecting and were told 6. We were also told she has a bullet in her back! 😤 Someone has already shot her.

I don't know why she was treated how she was, she hasn't chased our horses, gets along with pretty much every dog of all sizes and the cats, and doesn't bark much. She needs to learn some house manners but I'm guessing she didn't live inside. She is the absolute sweetest girl. She has been named Nakoma meaning "great warrior" and she will be staying with us for good.

Now she has 6 babies who will need the most loving homes at the end of this month. I'm guessing daddy to these little fluffs is a husky, they sure have the looks, curly tails, and some have blue eyes. They will need active families who will take the time to train. Their adoption fee is low 🐶🐶🐶 to help cover Mom and pups vetting and food and Mom's spay once they have left. These babies are being raised with the same love and care as our boxers and Aussies and are becoming quite the little social butterfly's. Message me if you have any questions or are interested in giving one of the special babies a home. 💜
*They all got Toy Story names because Mom's collar ended up being themed that way 😂*

WHAT A BREEDER NEVER SAYS OUT LOUD....!!!!

🤔 People often think that a breeder lives among perfect dogs. But they forget everything that goes into bringing these little miracles into the world. Photos are sweet, but the reality is intense and demanding.

✨ Every birth is a lottery.
You can prepare, plan, and study everything… but not a single delivery goes exactly as hoped.
Every time it feels like the first time, even after years of experience.

😢 Death is our greatest enemy.
A bitch who develops complications, a puppy that doesn't make it…

It happens unexpectedly and breaks your heart every time.

✨ Using a good stud dog costs money and effort.
Travel expenses, matings, tests, nighttime care…

And then hoping that everything goes well: diarrhea, infections, stunted growth.
Breeding is an investment: financial, emotional, and physical.

✨Bottle feeding? Cute, yes… for the first five minutes.

But after that, feeding every 2–3 hours, day and night, for weeks.

That is pure survival mode, with a whole lot of energy as salvation.

🤦‍♀️ People often view puppies as “business”:

“Number of puppies × price = profit!”

But they forget the:

• Health & Genetic testing
• Matings
• Shows
• Training
• Nutrition
• Veterinarian
• Care and hygiene
• Photoshoots, advertising, websit
• Kilograms of food and mountains of poop!!🙈

What is left? Rarely a gold bar. Let alone a decent hourly wage 😁

😴 Sleepless nights are inevitable.
No weekends, no vacation, no break.

🤫 Who really raises the puppies?

The bitch… AND the breeder.
Every small infection can threaten an entire litter.

😬 And the question “Why is it so expensive?”

If we got a dollar for every time…

The dogs would be eating caviar instead of kibble or meat.

😵‍💫 Future owners always make us worried.
A puppy isn't a package you just send off.
We choose adopters carefully; sometimes we refuse, sometimes we wait longer.

🫥 Emotional fatigue?
You almost never see that.
The pressure, the responsibility, watching over every detail…

And the loneliness during an emergency.

🤐 Sometimes we want to quit.
After loss. After setbacks. After exhaustion.

And then a pup opens its little eyes… and everything starts all over again.
It is a passion that never lets you go!

🙏 The grief of loss…

We rarely talk about that.
But with every farewell, a piece of us dies with them. Yet we rise again, for the puppies that still need a home.

🥰 Yes, there are beautiful moments.
Yes, there is immense joy.
But behind every experienced breeder lies a path full of sleepless nights, tears…

And an unconditional love for these special animals.♥️🥰♥️

If anyone is looking for a baby right now, Finale's got some siblings still looking for their new forever family. Send a message and I can put you in contact with the breeder. Finale has a great friendly and confidant temperament and I am very happy with her so far. Our next babies won't arrive until this fall.

Finale had her first day out in the woods yesterday. She is a wild child and has a nose for anything gross. She found multiple different species of s**t and dead animal carcasses 🤢 but she had a blast. She was one tuckered out pup on the way home but it was probably the best day of her life so far. 💜

Learning that behaving well in stores gets you your choice of treat on the way home. 💜
