My breeder asked if we could socialize some puppies with kids and dogs with tails :) so we had a litter of my nephews come visit for a few days this week. Those boys were crazy- well, mama says they were actually very sweet puppies. The kids all wanted to keep one red boy named Tonka, but we know he and his brothers Po and Hoop will be going to great homes.
With all the talk about backyard breeders and puppy mills, it was so nice to spend some time with a well planned, healthy and happy litter of pups. These guys will never know what it's like to be born deformed or suffer health or behavior problems due to neglect or irresponsible breeding.
We are thankful for shelters and rescue groups- and especially for all the low cost spay and neuter groups, but we're also thankful there are great breeders out there producing great examples of their breed and finding loving forever homes for them.
