Evening playtime with these goobs!❣️

We’ve been training for Rally again and I just got equipment to play around with nosework. I hope trials are in our future!

Atka’s Orthopedic Foundation for Animals results are in! 🤩

Hips - EXCELLENT
Elbows - NORMAL
Patellas - NORMAL

Atka also received titer testing through Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory - KSVDL that showed he has immunity against distemper, parvo, and adenovirus. This means we can skip on annual vaccines because they’re unnecessary at this point! In a few years, he will have another titer done to see if he needs boosted. *Rabies is required every 3 years in our state, by law.

What does all of that mean? He’s a healthy boy! I’m so happy to get these results and I’m eager to schedule his BAER testing next. I’m also looking into agility classes with him and I can’t wait!

Happy 1st birthday to the Lunar Eclipse litter! Loki, Cady, Izzy, (not pictured) Maggie & Rooster 🎈🎂🌙

I love hearing updates from the families & knowing that they are so loved! Maggie and Rooster are happy family pets. Loki has been competing in disc and dock diving. Izzy has been training for agility, disc and he’s learned to jump in a pool. Cady is also living the pet life with goals of casually competing in dog sports. I’ve learned so much with this litter and I look forward to their future! 💕

Vika’s puppy, formerly Astra/Jo, is back to stay! She wasn’t clicking well with her owner and it was determined the best thing for her would be to come back to us. She’s now known as Cady! Cady is going to need a lot of work on socialization and confidence, but she’s already improved since coming home. I look forward to helping this girl grow! 🩷
