My Story…

I've been wanting to start a blog for a while now. Finding the time with 3 kids, and our amazing dogs felt almost impossible at times I mean I am so busy everyday from morning till bed, I always have some where to be or something to do, wether it may be a vet visit or a kids Dr. appointment, just to getting the daily chores done... I go to bed at night just as many and lay there thinking where did the day go? It always amazes how they e feel long, but the year is so short I wanted to start this blog a year ago! I would say after my next litter I Will start it, after spring break with the kids, I will and then summer and it goes on and on... But what I have decided is this is my Passion. I am a Mom first, every single day nothing is more import to me then raising my amazing 3 children they inspire me to be a better Mom to do more, to show them how to be kind a good person. but all 3 of them will tell you Mom loves her dogs, they always Teese me and say mom just needs her dog time with Coffee of course. SO yes that is why I want to start my blog, not just for my litters and updating them. its more then that its my passion, I love researching things for my dogs, healthy toys, treats to food. I love knowing what's happening in the dog world, I think about dogs all the time. This is not new for me growing up from a small child I can remember our very first Rescue dog Jessie, I remember the joy of brining her home to the tears and heartbreak of my parents returning her to the shelter, Jessie couldn't stay home she was a runner she had been thru many homes, and we were just a stepping stone for her, I still remember the sadness when she was gone, to a little girl it was devastating. My parents to this day do not have my outlook on Dogs, or the love I feel for them. The joy I simply get just by parking next to a car with the cutest little white scotty patiently waiting for his moms return his ears straight up and proudly sitting there, you can just tell by his grooming and sweet face someone loves him and he loves them. and that simple 30 seconds viewing made my day, made me warm and happy. Not everyone loves dogs, or they even do love dogs but they also think they are just a dog and it belongs outside. That is how I was raised. But that is not how I believe, even tho when I was 14 I got my very own Aussie his name was Hershy he was chocolate tri and beautiful, he protected me, went any where I did wether I was riding my horse or a bike he was there. Hershy is another huge part of my story he died at only 18 months old, I had finally gotten my dog, my best friend the one I could always count on and he just died, My mom was kind, she could tell I was devastated, she wanted to help so we took him to the vet for an autopsy (this was un heard of in the backwoods of Montana, I will always be greatful that my Mom did care and did this act of kindness to try and get answers for her grieving daughter. Now remember this was before health testing on dogs like we have at finger tips now days) The vet said he was inbred and probably came from a puppy mill his heart was to small and other things were to big nothing was ok in his little body, even tho his outer body looked like an incredibly well bred Aussie, she was amazed he had lived as long as he had with no health issues we ever noticed. This all goes back to why I do health testing on every dog we are considering breeding, Why we only breed AKC, AKC doesn't mean the dog is healthy you still need to do more testing then just that, but AKC is important to me, I want to purchase breeding rights with my AKC papers an do it the right way even tho it always is way more expensive. And then I do my Health testing, I have received my future dog that I had big hopes to breed and the health testing came back clear but puppy had developed a large underbite that would be passed on to her puppies my vet recommended not breeding her, We looked & looked then found a super amazing family that had a little boy that was dreaming of a little dog to snuggle with, they bought her at a quarter of what I had paid, but it didn't matter to me, the boy was happy. My sweet little puppy was so happy to be loved on. It says tho that health testing, AKC doesn't guarantee that you will have a good quality dog to pass on to puppies, that's where the vet comes in. Having them checked, keeping up on their shots, and grooming, it’s all a lot but I enjoy doing all of it. And I want to share my tips and tricks I have learned from being obsessed with dogs. I have watched hours and hours of grooming videos! Im telling you!!! It's been a lot and you should have seen my first attempts at grooming! wow is all I can say… glad that is all past me! I'm excited to share this journey with who ever Loves dogs, And of course it will be based around my dream dogs, Havapoos. They are half havanese and half mini poodle. to create the most loving sweet temperament of a dog, who loves kids, playing but being lazy just as much. All of this makes them the perfect dog for a family with young kids to an elderly couple needing a companion and a HUGE Bonus if you are looking for Hypoallergenic... they look so shaggy and adorable like a little teddy bear you can hug and love on them all day and no hairs will ever come off... It's amazing especially if you are like our sweet little girl that is highly allergic to what we call regular dogs but has never once reacted to our sweet little hypoallergenic doggies. its definitely an added bonus... I have talked much about our past life dogs, but We had an Border collie, I loved her more then any Dog I had ever owned, she was my rainbow dog after a great loss of Hershy but took me many years to heal and want to love another dog so maybe that's why she was my angel. Well border collies have a lot of hair I will never forget moving the sofa to find a whole Rascals under it, so much hair everywhere, I had to pack a lent roller in my purse. It was a lot so this whole Hypoallergenic thing is amazing , I move our sofa's now days to find little army men and legos some times a random dog bone but never ever hair... how nice is that.
