Every breeder knows this feeling. Your phone buzzes a few days after a puppy goes home, and the message starts out sweet.

“We love him, but…”

And you can already guess the rest.
He barks. He nips. He cries at night. He’s “a lot.”

The thing is… that isn’t a problem.
That’s a puppy.

They’re babies trying to figure out life without their mum and littermates. They’re confused, overstimulated, excited, scared, and curious all at the same time. That’s completely normal.

But a lot of people today want the easy version. The one they see online. The perfectly calm eight week old who never chews anything and somehow already knows every command.

They forget that behind every well trained, well mannered adult dog is someone who put in the work. Someone who showed up every day with patience, structure, and consistency.

So when someone says, “He’s adorable, but I don’t think we’re a good fit,” what they usually mean is that they wanted the love without the learning curve.

No puppy comes pre programmed. Even the best raised babies need time to adjust. They need guidance, calm energy, and someone willing to put in the effort.

People confuse an easy puppy with a good one.
The truth is every puppy is good. They’re just new.
And anything new is messy before it becomes magical.

As breeders, we see it all. We comfort the ones who come back scared and confused. We remind them gently, “You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Because it’s never their fault when someone wasn’t ready for the tough parts that lead to the best parts.

Puppies aren’t a trend, or a trial run, or something to “see if it works out.”

They’re a commitment. A little piece of your heart on four legs.

If you’re not ready for the messy parts of puppyhood, that’s okay. Just wait until you can give your whole heart.

These little souls deserve nothing less. 💜🐾

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.

In this study, researchers looked at whether the age at which dogs were spayed or neutered, meaning how long they were exposed to their natural s*x hormones, affected how healthy they were in old age. They studied a group of long-lived pet dogs to learn what helps dogs live longer, healthier lives. Dogs with the fewest age-related health problems were considered the most “robust.”

The results showed that both male and female dogs who kept their hormones longer (i.e., were spayed or neutered later) were 3 to 10 times more likely to be healthy in old age compared to those altered earlier. Once hormone exposure and age were taken into account, there was no difference in old-age health between males and females.

This study highlights how important s*x hormones may be for staying healthy later in life and shows that early-life decisions—like when to spay or neuter—can have long-term effects on health.

Everyone calls and asks for a b***h puppy and honestly myself and other Toy Fox Terrier breeders do not understand it. Boys - in general - are sweeter, more compliant and in tune with you. B!tches of course are sweet but also often have an agenda with you as their subject LOL. The old saying is true with the dogs - the girls love you but the boys are in love with you.
