🚨 You've been hurting your dog and you didn't even know it!
And it's slowly damaging their spine, hips, and trust in you.

The rules:
🐾 Support the chest AND hindquarters, ALWAYS!
🐾 Keep their body horizontal
🐾 Never let their legs dangle
🐾 Forget the football carry

Your dog can't tell you it hurts. But their body is keeping score.
Save this before you pick them up again. 🔖

One thing I don’t think people always realize is that there’s a real person behind breeder pages.

Most of us aren’t giant businesses with employees answering messages all day long. It’s usually just us… responding while scrubbing floors, folding laundry, sanitizing bowls, ordering supplies, setting alarms through the night for moms and babies, scheduling vet appointments, and trying to remember where we even sat our coffee down for the third time.

A lot of these conversations happen while puppies are asleep in our laps or while we’re sitting in a whelping box exhausted running on little sleep but still excited to talk about our dogs because we truly love what we do.

So when someone reaches out asking about:
price,
temperament,
health testing,
go-home dates,
parents,
photos,
videos,
availability,
our curriculum,
our program…

I genuinely sit there and thoughtfully type out responses because I care. I care about my dogs, I care about where they end up, and I care about helping people make the right decision even if it’s not with me.

And trust me, I fully understand asking questions before bringing home a puppy. You absolutely should. A puppy is a huge commitment emotionally, financially, and time wise.

But sometimes after spending an hour answering questions, sending videos, taking updated photos, explaining health testing, explaining how we raise our puppies, talking through personalities, and pouring emotional energy into the conversation…

it just ends with silence.

I don’t even think most people mean to be hurtful when they do it. Life gets busy. People get distracted. Plans change.

But on the breeder side, it can feel discouraging sometimes because these puppies are such a huge part of our hearts and our everyday lives. This isn’t just “inventory” to us. These are babies we’ve stayed awake with, worried over, celebrated milestones with, and poured ourselves into for weeks, months, and years through our programs.

And while we’re here, this is your reminder to please talk things over with your spouse, partner, or family before reaching out to breeders.

So many conversations end with:
“Let me talk to my husband”
“My husband isn’t ready.”
“We didn’t realize the investment.”
“We’re actually going on vacation.”
“The timing isn’t right.”

And those are all valid reasons! Truly.

But having those conversations beforehand helps save everyone a little emotional energy and time.

At the end of the day, breeders are people too. Most of us are just dog lovers with tired eyes, messy buns, laundry piles, and phones full of puppy photos trying our best to raise really good dogs and place them with families who will love them as much as we do.

So if you’ve ever reached out to a breeder and changed your mind, that’s okay. No hard feelings at all.

Just know a simple:
“Thank you so much for your time, but we decided to go another direction.”
means more than you probably realize.

This policy works and is the exact reason why I post and provide weekly and sometimes daily photos/videos of the puppies as they grow to meet their milestones. I want you to enjoy the puppy experience and remain included in their journey! However, it’s also my priority to keep everyone safe- puppies, our doodle crew, and my family.

The majority of everyone has been super respectful and understanding of these policies in the past. Unfortunately, I have had a few not feel comfortable without visiting and that’s okay too! I may not be the breeder for you. I would rather find the next most perfect home, keep a puppy longer if needed, then put our household at risk!

So I thank you all for your understanding. This is something all breeders battle daily & we must do what is right for our crew. 😁

I get asked this all the time,
and I promise, I understand the question.

If I was getting a puppy, I’d want to see everything too. Where they’re raised, meet the mom, just make sure it all feels right.

So I get it 🤍

But there are a few reasons I don’t allow visitors into my home… and they’re very intentional.

First let’s talk about something most people don’t even think about…

your shoes.

Anything you’ve stepped in vet offices, pet stores, gas stations, parks, even your own yard can carry things like parvo, giardia, coccidia.

You won’t see it. You won’t know it’s there.
But all it takes is one visit, one exposure…

and now it’s inside with a litter of puppies whose immune systems are still developing.

And once something like that is brought in, it’s not just “clean it and move on.”

It spreads fast.
It’s expensive to treat.
And in worst cases you can lose an entire litter.

That’s not a risk I’m willing to take. Ever.

And then there’s the part people don’t always want to think about…

safety.

Cases like the Paul Peavey case and the Florida dognapping shootout are a big reason a lot of breeders have changed how they do things.

To put it simply,
these weren’t just “someone tried to steal a dog” situations.

Homes were targeted.
People were followed.
Dogs were stolen for resale or breeding.
And in one of these cases, it escalated into taking someone’s life.

All because someone knew where the dogs were.

That’s real life. Not just something you see online.

And when you’re raising multiple dogs and litters you have to think about protecting them long-term, not just in the moment.

So for me, it comes down to this:

I’m not running a storefront with people coming in and out all day.

These puppies are born and raised in my home.
They’re part of my daily life.

And it’s my job to protect that environment even if it’s not what everyone expects.

That being said, I also never want anyone to feel like they’re going into this blindly.

So I offer other ways for you to see everything.

We can FaceTime so you can see mom, the puppies, and how they’re being raised in real time.
I send constant photo and video updates.
And we do public meet-ups so you can meet your puppy and the parents safely before bringing them home.

At the end of the day, it’s not about being unwelcoming.

It’s about being protective.

Of my dogs.
Of my puppies.
And of something I’ve worked really hard to build.

And I’ll always choose that 🤍
