Jemma might “win” on points with enthusiasm, but Patches has experience and the I’ll allow this until I won’t energy. In the end, the real winner is whoever claims the comfiest spot afterward… probably right next to me. Sunday’s going to be bittersweet. They’re squeezing in every last playful moment before Patches goes to his new forever home as a puppy in our breeding program 💛

Morning routines and playtime are so important for these growing puppies. Patches continues to thrive in an environment full of love, play, and gentle guidance from momma Nora while patiently waiting for his forever home. We use the word “settle” to help bring calm to the room as playtime winds down. These puppies are incredibly intelligent and so loving.

Can you say spoiled! 😄 Patches is living his best life—lap cuddles, a full day of playing with momma Nora and sister Jemma, and now he’s fighting sleep just to be included in movie night. That little head-droop struggle is so real.

These two siblings have so much to celebrate! 🐾 With newfound freedom and plenty of space to stretch their growing legs, they’re soaking up every moment. Before long, Patches will find his forever family—and when that day comes he will be missed especially by Jemma. She holds a very special place here and is part of our future breeding plans for 2027–2028. We’ll be sharing updates along the way as these sweet puppies continue to grow and mature. Stay tuned for more of their journey 💕🐶

A message from one breeder to another and exactly how i feel today. As a breeder, you pour your heart into the litter long before anyone else ever meets them. You’re the first safe place, the first routine, the first teacher of trust. So when they leave for the right homes—even when you’re genuinely thrilled for them—it’s natural to grieve a little that their forever isn’t with you. You’re not just placing puppies, you’re practicing selfless love. Choosing their needs over your own attachment is one of the hardest, most beautiful lessons there is. It’s parenting in its purest form—prepare them, love them deeply, then let them go so they can become who they’re meant to be. Each litter expands your heart. Not in a way that replaces what you lost, but in a way that deepens your capacity—to love, to guide, to trust the process. Letting go doesn’t mean the bond disappears. It just changes shape. The sadness doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. It means you’re doing it with your whole heart. Those puppies will carry your foundation with them for the rest of their lives—and in that way, a piece of you goes with every single one. 🐾✨

Patches may be our last puppy available, but often the last truly are the best. Over the past 16 weeks, we’ve fallen deeply for each of these puppies, and having extra time with our dark chocolate boy has only made that bond stronger. Patches goes with the flow and his tail is going nonstop the moment he hears me walk through the door. With his siblings now in their forever homes, he’s really shining—showing off his commands, loving ball time, and soaking up one-on-one connection. If you’re looking for a true companion—a forever friend who loves unconditionally—Patches is your guy. He’s potty trained, thrives on routine, and is up to date on all vaccinations. Reach out with any questions you may have about Patches. His perfect family may be just around the corner. 🐶🤎
