Bailey was the first to arrive when I purchased my foundation breeding stock. She arrived by semi-truck and my friend and I met them in Cheyenne at the truck stop to pick her up. The rest of the females and the stud arrived 2 weeks later on a transport.

Bailey had never lived in a house before but took to it immediately, never making a mess or having an accident. She completely immersed herself in laptime and snuggles. I quickly learned that she had severe anxiety about being locked away anywhere, even a room, let alone a kennel/crate. So she never had to again. She always had full access to the entire house and was always such a good girl. She gave me several litters before I retired her. I called her Bailey Boop because she nose-booped EVERYTHING!😂.

A couple years ago, Bailey began showing signs of a possible spinal injury that just never got better. No one was able to definitively diagnose, but it was thought to be a degenerative disease. She has slowly declined and it was time to make that difficult call to give her the ultimate last act of kindness.

Today Bailey Boop crossed the rainbow bridge where her best buddy Goldie Rose, Zandra and Amigo have been waiting for her to arrive. I know that she and Goldie will be romping through fields together with unbridled joy.

Bailey loved car rides, the water/swimming, snuggling (she was the best snuggler!), talking back to me loudly, going for walks/hikes, playing, destroying any stuffed toy in seconds, nuzzling and booping, ice cream and popcorn, to name just a few.

RIP Bailey. You are my sweet, sweet girl. I know you will all be gathered there at the bridge to greet me when I arrive. We will all be together again. ❤️ 💔

Spring may be in full bloom, but some of the most beautiful plants in your home and yard could be putting your pet at serious risk. Many of the most toxic plants aren’t even rare; they’re the everyday ones sitting on your windowsill or planted in your garden. Lilies, azaleas, and even parts of aloe can cause problems for pets.
Do you know which plants are most dangerous to dogs and cats, what symptoms to watch for, and what to do if your pet is exposed? In my latest article on toxic plants, I share simple steps you can take right now to create a safer environment. See link in comments.🐾

Dental issues, especially gum disease and tartar buildup, are the most commonly diagnosed health problem in dogs. In fact, up to 80 to 90% of dogs over age 3 develop periodontal disease, often driven by an imbalance in the oral microbiome, including bacteria such as Porphyromonas gulae.

But dental disease does not just affect the mouth. Dogs with gum disease swallow large amounts of bacteria every day, which can disrupt the gut microbiome and contribute to inflammation throughout the body. At the same time, gut dysbiosis can weaken immune balance and potentially worsen the body’s response to plaque bacteria. Researchers call this connection the oral gut axis, where the health of the mouth and gut microbiomes influence each other.

Humic acid, a natural compound found in soil and plant matter, can help support this connection. Research shows it can strengthen the intestinal barrier, bind harmful toxins, and help reduce inflammatory signals in the body. Because the mouth and gut are connected, supporting gut balance can help reduce immune reactions linked to gum inflammation.

Other studies on periodontal disease suggest humic acid can also reduce gum inflammation and bone loss, help protect the tissues that support teeth, and support oral wound healing.

This is one reason why Dr Karen Becker included humic and fulvic acids in LIVER LIFT™, a science driven, nature powered formula designed to support the liver, kidneys, blood, lymphatic system, and healthy cellular function in the face of everyday stressors.

A battle cry to the public.

So many breeders are selling puppies way below the price should be to get quality care and pedigree/lines.

Please understand that if that is all that is supported you are putting all of our dogs at risk. Responsible and ethical breeders cannot stay in business and hold the standards that our dogs deserve.

From careful selection of parents, health testing, veterinary care, quality nutrition, puppy curriculum, puppy evaluations, and on and on.

I am seeing ethical and responsible breeders pausing left and right and what I need you to know is that if all of our GOOD breeders are reducing our litters and or stopping breeding altogether (we will not breed to any other standard other than of excellence) then what will be left of our dogs? Our lines?

I need this message to be heard LOUD AND CLEAR. Our dogs are at risk. I know the economy is crappy. We are all feeling that, but please save, be patient, and research before getting a dog at a price that is "too good to be true".

I am watching this all unfold before my eyes and I need your help!

Please protect all of our ethical breeders.

Buy responsibly.

Our dogs deserve it.

Our ethical breeders are the ones we want to protect, preserve, and create the healing power of the dog. We do not want the fate of our dogs left in the hands of ill-intention breeders.

*Preventing unwanted litters is a goal we all share—but it's time to rethink the surgical approach. Hysterectomies and vasectomies, which preserve hormonal balance, can safely be performed as early as 8 weeks of age, making dogs sterile without disrupting their natural hormones.

New peer-reviewed study published in Nature:

How a dog’s lifetime exposure to his own hormones (before being neutered) affects how well he handles aging and frailty later in life.

Study Background

• Frailty = when older dogs (and people) become weaker, less resilient, and more prone to illness and death.
• Most research looks at how to prevent frailty — this study looked at what makes some dogs bounce back better after frailty sets in.
• The focus was on the HPG axis — the hormonal system that produces testosterone and controls reproduction.

Key Findings

• Dogs neutered very young (before 2 years old) had:

o A much higher risk of death once they became frail.
o About 16% higher mortality for every small increase in frailty.

• Dogs kept intact longer (more than ~10 years) showed:
o No increase in mortality linked to frailty.
o Their hormones seemed to “buffer” the negative effects of aging.

• Each extra year of natural hormone exposure reduced frailty-related death risk by ~1%.

What It Means

• Hormones from the te**es may protect against the worst effects of aging later in life.
• Removing them too early could make dogs less resilient to age-related decline.
• Frailty isn’t just about getting old — it’s also shaped by early-life events like the timing of neutering.
• This supports a “life course” view: what happens early in life affects health decades later.

Why It Matters

• The study suggests timing of neutering might influence how well dogs age.
