LET’S MAKE GOOD DOGS IMPOSSIBLE TO MISS
Yesterday I wrote about the problem. Today I’d like to propose a solution. Because if good breeders are difficult to find, perhaps the answer isn’t waiting for families to somehow find us. Perhaps it’s time for all of us to put a stand by the road. On farms, the best produce is often discovered at…

LET’S MAKE GOOD DOGS IMPOSSIBLE TO MISS
PART 1 — THE DISCOVERY PROBLEM I have carried this question for years while observing the preservation dog community invest generations of effort into refining breeding decisions, structure, temperament, health testing, and mentorship that develops gradually through experience and accumulated judgment rather than through any single moment of instruction or visibility.

WHY MY PUPPIES DON’T WEAR COLORED COLLARS

Four weeks old today. 🖤
Every day their world becomes a little bigger. A new scent to discover. A new texture beneath their tiny paws. The warmth of the sun. The comfort of a gentle touch. A sibling to follow on the next little adventure. At four weeks of age, they’re experiencing the world the way nature intended: through curiosity,…
