Bittersweet Beginning! March 18

Starla's #AuthorPups have successfully completed their 8-week course in Early Puppy Education in Destiny's home! As they graduate into their new lives, with new surroundings, new homes, and new forever families, we know we've given them a great foundation to build upon. We send them off a little sadly, having grown very fond of them, but also with pride, knowing they're on track to become great dogs in ways both large and small. We wish you the best, #AuthorPups! 

Toni - going to her new home in Burlington, MA with the new name Penny!

Busy Little Bodies! February 23

A little over 5 weeks old now, Starla's #AuthorPups are busily investigating the world in every possible way. Can I step on it? Can I smell it? Can I put it in my mouth? Like the little toddlers they are, they're building balance and learning important lessons about life. The purpose of our early socialization exercises at this age is to teach the puppies to welcome new experiences, and to be right there alongside them so they learn to trust the humans in their lives. These pups can't wait 'til this Saturday to meet the humans who will be theirs forever!

Eyes (mostly) Open to see the World! February 3

Now just over two weeks old, Starla's puppies are taking a peek at the wide world around them. Their beautiful markings give each of them a unique and striking appearance. As they start engaging more and more with the world around them we'll begin to see each unique personality as well! For now, enjoy the photos as we proudly introduce Starla's #AuthorPups!
