Talk about a full-circle moment! 🥹🐾

When one of the puppies you helped raise makes it into your senior pictures!

This is our daughter Mackenzie, Class of 2027, and one of the helping hands behind raising our Cedar Ridge puppies!

And that handsome boy next to her? That’s Tuddy, from our very first Winnie × Croc litter, the Minnesota Lakes crew! 🤎

We traveled to Hayward, WI for Mackenzie’s senior pictures and it just so happens that our photographer, Molly, is Tuddy’s mama! Of course, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get a few pictures of these two together. Molly even snuck in a few photos of Tuddy and me as well!

Pretty special getting to see one of our babies all grown up and sharing such a special milestone with us! 🐾❤️

And please go check out Molly’s work! She is so talented! I see a lot of photographers and she is the best of the best! No notes!

✨ 9 WEEKS - GO HOME ✨

It’s hard to believe it’s already been one week since our little Celebrity Chefs started heading home to their forever families. 🥹🐾

Go home week is always so bittersweet. We spend eight weeks loving these babies, watching their little personalities develop, and pouring so much of ourselves into raising them…and then suddenly, it’s time to send them off.

But this is also the part that makes it all worth it! We carefully chose each of these families for our puppies and we truly couldn’t be more excited about where every single one of them landed. Seeing these happy faces together makes saying goodbye just a little bit easier.

Here’s where our Celebrity Chefs are calling home:

💚 Gordon → Quill — Annandale, MN
🤎 Guy → Jake — Waconia, MN
🩵 Martha → Millie — Green Bay, WI
🤍 Julia → Senyu — Ettrick, WI
♥️ Giada → Georgie — Lakeville, MN
💕 Maneet → Tilly — Northfield, MN
💜 Rachel → Maple — Waconia, MN
🧡 Ree → Mayla — Green Bay, WI

We love you, little chefs. Now go make yourselves at home. ❤️🐾

✨ A little puppy picture FYI 🐾

☺️ We know so many of you look forward to the puppies’ weekly pictures. Whether you’re bringing one of these babies home or simply following along because puppies make you happy, we truly love how invested you are in them. It means so much to us because we are incredibly invested in them, too.

🤪 As the puppies get older, though, individual pictures become much harder. They don’t want to be held and posed. They want to be down playing, running, wrestling, exploring and learning. At this age, trying to photograph eight puppies individually is a lot like trying to wrangle eight toddlers for perfect pictures!

🙅🏻‍♀️ Could we make them sit still? Probably. But we aren’t going to force them to cooperate simply for the sake of getting the perfect weekly photo.
That’s just silly.

☝🏼 We respectfully want to remind everyone that we raise puppies, we are not professional photographers. Our priority will always be the puppies’ development, confidence and happiness. Sometimes that means putting the camera down and letting them play.

💡 Although we haven’t posted formal weekly pictures the past couple of weeks, we are still sharing plenty of candid content through our Facebook and Instagram stories. We show what the puppies are doing, what they’re learning and why each experience matters. If you aren’t following our stories yet, be sure to follow along and turn on your notifications so you don’t miss them!
