An update for everyone who has been anxiously waiting for news about Lacey’s puppies. After a recent checkup it appears that Lacey is not expecting a litter.
Unfortunately this happens more often than you think, and as hard as we try it’s never promised.
This is especially emotional for us because this was going to be Lacey’s final breeding. After much thought, we feel that retiring her is the healthiest and best decision for her moving forward, she will be 6 in July so it is time to close this chapter for her.
My hearts aches knowing how many wonderful families especially so many of our returning Gore Doodle Ranch families were excited to add another puppy to your homes. I truly cannot express how much it means to me that you have loved your first puppies enough to come back to us again. That trust and connection means the world to me.
While we are disappointed, and we are also incredibly grateful for all of the love, support, excitement, and prayers surrounding this hoped-for litter AND all of our beautiful pups that you have given loving, happy homes to. Lacey will continue being spoiled and loved with us in her retirement…exactly as she deserves.
Thank you all for understanding and for being such an important part of the Gore Doodle Ranch family. 🤍
