Since this litter was born while we were camping at The Breaks Interstate Park (thanks to our wonderful friends who farm sat for us), we thought it might be fun to go with "The Breaks" as a theme for the puppies' names! Curious how we came up with each name?
Check out the beautiful park and see for yourself!
You may even want to plan a vacation there when you come to pick up your puppy!
ALL ARE ENJOYING NEW HOMES NOW!
Laurel - the mamaBorn right here on our farm, sweet Lucy's daughter Laurel is a pretty Irish spotted girl, and looks so much like her Daddy, Rigel! She is very sweet, vocal, loves to be with people, and is playful (she loves balls!)
Laurel weighs around 130 lbs. and is on the stocky/blocky side. OFA good hips OFA normal elbows Cystinuria clear by parentage DM Clear |
George - the sireGeorge is a very affectionate and super intelligent
48 pound STANDARD POODLE. George seems to think he's a 9 year-old little boy and LOVES playing with our youngest son. A dog just doesn't get any smarter or any sweeter than our Mr. General George! OFA FAIR HIPS OFA NORMAL ELBOWS OFA NORMAL PATELLAS DM CLEAR |

Sandy, now Sasha, is doing great! She is spunky and full of personality. We absolutely love her and she fits in with the kids well. Thank you so much! She is just perfect. Sasha is a trooper and gets along well with the other two pups in the house. She is definitely part of our crazy crew.
Excuse the boxes, we are packing to move :)
Thank you again! She is the best and we are so thankful to you for bringing her to us. Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Edee and Moore Family,
We wanted to say a huge thank you again for meeting us yesterday and for our beautiful puppy, Zora! We wanted to send you a few pictures - she was a perfect angel on her first night! Not a single accident yet and only a whimper when she wanted to go out! She is loving playing fetch and has been trying hard to get our Great Dane, Titan, to play with her - she tries to jump up and catch his tail!
Thank you again for everything!
Amanda, Bruce, Talia, Alex and Gracie

Millie is so sweet. She takes her job as a nanny very, very seriously! She has to know where we all are at all times. Here are some pics of her at 6 months and 65 lbs. I have had friends get puppies since we got Millie and none of them were as easy to housetrain as Millie! She only had two accidents in the house and slept through the night from night two on.
11-7-20 Update
Millie is a very sweet and smart girl! She only has had one potty accident in the house and it was my fault! She has slept through the night since her fourth night home and was able to learn "sit", "down" and "leave it' in her first week as well. She is a very vocal girl and you don't have to wonder for long what she is thinking! Our vet says she is very smart and has a wonderful disposition. She does have an affinity for socks and we have to really watch her or she will try to swallow them whole!

Russell Fork - "Big Barney Boy"!

We love the smart and tall part of Barney which comes from Daddy George but Barney looks just like his Mama Laurel, which is amazing because we always wanted a Newfoundland but due to allergies and asthma we couldn't....so we were hoping for the Newfie look and we got it.
Here are some more pics of our boy (2 of them...the human boy Brady is every ounce of 6'5 (maybe even a bit taller) - so hopefully this helps put into perspective just how tall our Barney Boy is on top of 100 pounds of pure love.

We are so in love with this beautiful dog. He has brought so much fun and happiness to our family that I can't help but share with you and thank you over and over again.
6 1/2 months almost 80 pounds.
He's perfect in every way!

I can hardly believe our sweet Barney Boy is 3 months old. He's so fun and so cute. He looks so much like his Newfie Mama - which I love - the Newfie look without the possible allergies or shedding. He loves sleeping on the cold tile/hardwood, the air vent or dumping out all of his water bowl so he can lay right in the cold water (our retirement home search now includes a pool). Barney has been home with us for 5 weeks and he literally runs to the door when he has to potty and sits and waits, if we don't see him right away he barks or whines - he's so smart! We weighed him today and he is about 35 pounds and has the most enormous paws. He's such a cool dog. It took our older dogs (11 and 12) some time to accept that this crazy little fluff ball was staying for good but have now welcomed him as their brother and sometimes all 3 sleep together in our bed :).
Thank you for our sweet baby. He brings so much joy to our family (a little mischief too but even that brings joy).

Camper "Bodsworth"
Home with Carrie and Kirah in CT!
When Camper "Bodsworth" exhibited incontinent issues as a puppy that we and our vets couldn't figure out, we were so blessed to find such a special loving home in CT with Carrie where he could receive all the medical attention he would eventually require. Due to the diligence of Carrie and her medical team, it was eventually discovered that this tough boy was incredibly born without a bladder. He continues to thrive and love life and may end up helping countless dogs who are born in his condition. We can't thank Carrie enough. Be sure to check out the funny video below!

Bodsworth has the best medical care and even though his prognosis is guarded we have reached some milestones. He celebrated his first birthday fit for a king and has recently had his celebration for his first anniversary @ the farm. He has had some medical issues that we address as they come and his treatments change accordingly. We embrace every day as a gift and there is not a dog out there that loves life more or is more loved!
6-23-21 update:
He has the best medical team. Dr's from Cornell, AMC, and Tufts.... He is on a diet made for just him, bottled water, medications and a ton of supplements. He is cleaned around the clock and on trial products that if work will help animals in the future.
He is beyond loved by everyone that meets him. I am blessed to be his mom!!!! Everyday is a gift and we do celebrate each & every one!!! He is the best ball catcher that I have ever seen and wants to do it all day long...... I have become a pretty good thrower 😁
