Happy Birthday to the Freyja x Torfi puppies born on November 17, 2022! It’s hard to believe these wonderful pups are already three years old. What a truly gorgeous group they’ve grown into. I’m so proud of each of them, and so grateful for the amazing humans who love them—you are all cherished members of the Lukehaven family.

Wishing these beautiful dogs fun-filled birthday celebrations across Oregon, Connecticut, New York, and Florida! 🎉🐾❤️

Happy Birthday to my wonderful, fabulous, never stop moving, Ch Lukehaven Elfa Raina! Raina turned 6 years old today. My bundle of energy - always ready to go and do anything - especially if it has to do with catching a frisbee or jumping in the pool. I love this beautiful girl!

We had another puppy go to his forever home on Saturday and we can't wait to hear about all the adventures Lukehaven Lava Dreki Elsasson will have in the big city (NYC). He's already making friends with Rodya, an Italian Greyhound, and she's enjoying his puppy exuberance! From Will and Cathy "We love him more than words could ever express".

Yesterday our first puppy - Lukehaven Tindra Nordurljos - from the Lukehaven Safir Elsa Freyjasdottir Of Windrock (DN73803505) and Tri-Star Hroi Hottur Roy (DN47742203) litter went home to begin her journey with Loren and follow in some pretty big pawprints of Grandpa Luke, Dad Roy, Grandma Freyja, Great Grandma Scout, and Mom Elsa (among others!). Tindy's brothers will be going to their forever homes over the next couple of weeks and we can't wait to see all the wonderful adventures these gorgeous dogs will have over their lifetimes! We currently have one male available. The following pictures are of all five puppies at nine weeks:

Clinical significance per the study: "Risk of CrCLD is nonlinearly associated with age at gonadectomy in dogs. Early gonadectomy may be preliminarily defined as that before 2.9 and 2.2 years in female and male dogs, respectively, in the context of CrCLD risk."
