Hello SATA Kennels Family,
I thought Iâd take a minute to share a little behind the scenes with you, because what you see on social media or the website is really just a small glimpse into what life looks like here at SATA Kennels.
Most days start early. Before anything else, itâs checking on everyoneâmaking sure all the dogs are doing well, puppies are settled, and everything feels calm and balanced. That quiet time in the morning is one of my favorite parts of the day. It gives me a chance to observe, not just manage.
When you raise multiple breeds like we doâBoerboels, Yorkies, Shorkies, and Toy Aussiesâeach one has different needs, different energy levels, and different personalities. Learning to read them and adjust to what they need individually is something thatâs come with time and experience, and itâs a big part of what I love about what I do.
Puppy care is constant. Itâs cleaning, feeding, monitoring, and making sure each puppy is developing the way they should. But beyond the basics, a lot of what happens here is intentional in ways people donât always see. Early handling, exposure to everyday sounds, small interactions throughout the dayâthose little moments matter more than people realize. They help shape how a puppy responds to the world when they leave here.
Itâs not always glamorous. There are long days, late nights, and a lot of work that happens behind the scenes to keep everything running the way it should. But itâs also incredibly rewarding. Watching puppies grow, seeing their personalities start to come out, and then matching them with the right familiesâthatâs the part that never gets old.
One thing thatâs always been important to me is that this isnât just about raising puppies and sending them home. Itâs about setting them up the right way from the beginning and being there to support the families they go to. That connection doesnât stop once a puppy leaves here.
SATA Kennels is a big part of my life, but itâs also a family effort. We all play a role in caring for the dogs, spending time with the puppies, and making sure theyâre getting what they need every single day.
Iâm really proud of what weâve built here, and Iâm grateful for the people who follow along, support us, and trust us with their future dogs.
Thank you for being part of it.
Warmly,
Sara
