Litter update on 12 July •…First day of kennel training for these 6-week-old babies 💛 I started early this morning with outdoor play, potty breaks, and lots of love. After a few rounds of tiring them out, I introduced their kennels — and guess what? They actually started settling in 🥹 One of them took a little longer (of course 💅), but with patience and calm, they all fell asleep in their kennels by the end of the day 🐾 This is how we raise confident, well-adjusted pups who will transition smoothly into their new homes ✨

Stay tuned—things are about to get even cuter! ✨🐾

Litter update on 14 June •…🐾 Puppy Update – Almost 2 Weeks Old! 🐶✨ Our sweet babies are growing beautifully as we head into week two tomorrow! Most of them opened their eyes a few days ago, and just yesterday, our little brown sweetheart joined the party and opened his eyes too! 👁️💕 Each puppy is starting to show early hints of their personality — some are a little more curious, while others love to snuggle and snooze. It’s such a joy watching them develop day by day. Mama is doing great and taking wonderful care of them, and we’re giving them all the love and care they need to thrive. 💗 Stay tuned — we’re excited to share more milestones soon!
