As we mentioned in our stories, all the puppies are now spoken for. We received over 250 applications and hundreds of DMs across our three accounts—thank you all so much for the love and support.

A little behind the scenes: during the first weeks of the pups’ lives, I take PTO and then transition to working from home so I can give them round-the-clock care. Those first three weeks are especially intense—we’re helping Mom feed by bottle-feeding puppies every 2–3 hours, making sure each one is gaining properly. At the same time, we’re also focused on Mom—ensuring she’s eating enough, staying healthy, and getting the care she needs while nursing such a big litter.

By weeks 3–4, things shift—the puppies start becoming more active and playful, finding their voices, and showing little bits of personality. This is also when we begin introducing mush, which adds a whole new layer of feeding and cleanup on top of everything else.

On top of all this, we both work full-time, and I also do social media consulting. When a litter comes along—especially 10 puppies—it’s a huge commitment. Between feeding, cleaning, potty training, and crate training, our days are completely full.

Because of that, it’s really hard to keep up with every message. We know we’ve missed replying to many of you, and we truly apologize. Please know it’s not for lack of care—we simply pour everything into raising these pups the right way. ❤️🐾

Happy Sunday, y’all! Here’s a fresh dose of puppy shenanigans in pics and vids. 🐾

Happy Sunday, y’all! Here’s a fresh dose of puppy shenanigans in pics and vids. 🐾

Pups are running wild and loving their freedom! 🐾

As you saw in our last post, they’ve officially moved into the apartment—and they couldn’t be happier. Most of the day, they roam around as they please (though honestly, they spend a lot of it snoozing). When we can’t keep an eye on them, they get cozy in their kennel.

We had a special visitor today—Waylon from Honey’s first litter! He had the best time playing with his Grandma Bella.

Bella has been soaking up every moment with the pups—sometimes even sneaking into the whelping box when we’re not looking.

We’ve been teaching the little ones to eat from their own bowls, and they’re doing amazing.

And today’s the big day—we’re moving them into the apartment so they’ll have plenty more room to play, and explore.

As the pups grow and get more playful, Honey’s been letting Bella spend more time with them — and Bella couldn’t be happier. She’s been acting like a puppy herself, full of excitement and energy since the day they were born.

Now that the pups are getting more active, we’re getting ready to move them out of the whelping space and into our apartment. It’ll give them plenty more room to play, explore, and stretch those little legs.

The pups took “if it doesn’t get all over the place, does it even belong in your face?” to a whole new level!

Yesterday was day 1 of soupy mush, and I’m pretty sure they absolutely loved it!

Three Weeks Old and On the Move!
Today the pups officially turn 3 weeks old and are starting to walk! It’s the cutest thing watching their little wobbly steps.

We also want to share that all of the puppies are now spoken for. If you submitted an application, thank you so much! We’ll be keeping all applicants on our waitlist for our next expected litter—likely in Fall 2026.

WE HAVE EYES! 👀
The pups started opening their eyes on Sunday, and now they’re all peeking out at the world! I can already tell this is going to be a wild and fun bunch once they’re up and running. And yes—they’re extra chunky already. 🐾💕

Here’s where they’re at with their weights:
🐶 Mulan (red): 2.6 lbs
🐶 Lilo (pink): 2.6 lbs
🐶 Elsa (purple): 2.3 lbs
🐶 Nala (orange): 2.4 lbs
🐶 Jasmine (yellow): 2.3 lbs
🐶 Boo (white): 2.7 lbs
🐶 Simba (green): 2.8 lbs
🐶 Nemo (blue): 2.5 lbs
🐶 Woody (grey): 2.6 lbs
🐶 Mater (black): 2.5 lbs

Had to share a moment of pure sweetness. 🥰 These little lovebugs wiggle their way to each other all on their own.

Big thanks to @petlife.unlimited for the puppy pads — they’re definitely getting their fair share of pee and poop duty!

We love capturing these sweet moments with Honey and her pups 🐾

Slide #5 features our first little border crosser—this determined boy was on a mission to get to momma, and nothing was going to stop him! 💪

Slide #6 will melt your heart 💞

Other than that? It’s a whole lot of eat, sleep, and 💩 around here… and we’re not mad about it.

Feeding 10 Pups Is No Small Task 🍼🐾
Nursing a litter of 10 takes serious calories! Honey needs a high-fat, high-protein diet to keep up with the demands of milk production. She eats 6–7 times in a 24-hour period—sometimes more if she’s asking for it.

Each bowl is packed with nourishment: high-quality kibble, OC Raw Beef with veggies, cottage cheese, two eggs, brown rice, and shredded chicken.

Feeding a pregnant and nursing mama isn’t cheap, especially when you prioritize quality—but we don’t cut corners. Honey gets the best to keep her strong and her babies thriving. 💛

Days 5–9: Nothing major, just a whole lot of cuteness overload.
They’re eating, sleeping, and getting chunkier by the hour. In the last clip, don’t miss the tiny teat tussle—puppy drama at its finest! 🐾💕

Day 2, 3 & 4 Update:

By day 2, Honey had started to produce milk—and by day 4, she was a full-on milk fountain! 🍼

We also had Dr. Carrie stop by to do a check-up, and everything looked great!

Meanwhile, Bella is being incredibly respectful. She’s keeping her distance from the pups, almost as if she remembers what it’s like to be a mama herself. It’s sweet to witness her quiet support from the sidelines. 🐾

Having a summer litter has been a blessing—our college kids are home and ready to jump in when Dad needs a break. This crew is definitely a family effort!

👀 In the 3rd pic, can you spot all 10?

Day 1 of Life 🐾
Born Thursday, July 10th 💛

The first day was a bit of a whirlwind. Honey’s milk didn’t come in right away, so we were on round-the-clock bottle duty every 2–3 hours — definitely a sleepless night for us!

All 10 puppies arrived healthy and strong, and we’re beyond grateful. 💕

Honey has been amazing — calm, attentive, and so loving with her pups. She truly shines as a mama. 🐶❤️

We just got Honey’s X-ray done and it looks like there are a bunch of little wiggle butts baking in the oven! 🐾 From what we can see, it looks like she’s expecting around 8-9 puppies! She’s due next Thursday, so please keep her and the pups in your prayers.

If you’re on our waitlist, we’ll be reaching out soon — and feel free to contact us as well!

This is Elek—the stud we paired Honey with! In the last clip, you’ll catch Honey being extra flirtatious with him, lol

Elek! This stunning boy comes from exceptional working Boxer bloodlines—and it shows. He’s got bold drive, sharp curiosity, and confidence to spare. With his impressive conformation and ideal working temperament, Elek has already made his mark in the show ring and is now training for a competitive IGP career.

Today, Honey had her TCI (transcervical insemination) at our local fertility vet. She was such a good girl, and the stud’s swimmers were strong—98% motility! Now we’re crossing our fingers and hoping for puppies!

Three years ago, this beautiful litter was born. Raising ten pups was a whole different challenge compared to seven—so much teat rotation and bottle feeding! We even had two little teat hogs (Ronin and Bucky)—cough cough—lol! More puppy posts are on the way!
