Litter update on 18 May •…Some clips from today's free play! Fluffy and Ninja are kind of hard to tell apart but Fluffy is the one usually in the mix/messing around, whereas Ninja is more chill and doing his own thing.

Litter update on 29 Apr. •…This week the puppies are starting to walk and figure out how to navigate different terrain (carpet/blanket vs vinal & tile) Ninja was the first to figure out how to get in and out, Fluffy was the first to fully walk, Luna is strong doesn't let he brothers push her around and Moe is very inquisitive and loves the different toys. They love attention and being cuddled and are developing such unique markings and cute peraonalities! This weekend, we will slowly start the weaning process. I'm sure Akela is excited because these pups can eat!

We are very happy with our choice of Taylor and Cava Companions for the addition of our new family member Obi. She was very responsive to our inquiries and provided many updates on the progress of the puppies as they continued to grow! Thanks to their socialization and care given, our puppy has adjusted very well to his new home. Thanks again for making the process easy and enjoyable!

We are beyond grateful to Taylor for the most incredible experience welcoming our sweet Teddy (aka Fluffy) into our lives. From the very first message to pickup day, she made everything feel smooth, thoughtful, and reassuring. She patiently answered all of our (many!) questions and it was clear how much love and care she puts into raising her pups. When we met Teddy, we were immediately blown away—he was so well-socialized, affectionate, playful, and calm. He came to us almost fully crate trained, hasn’t had a single accident in his crate, and hardly ever cries. On top of that, he’s a quick learner—he figured out the stairs on his very first day home! Teddy is the perfect balance of adventurous and independent, while still being the biggest cuddle bug. We truly could not have asked for a better start to his life or a better breeder. Thank you, Taylor, for everything!
