Labradors of the Valley

Miss Canada is looking bigger by the day. Banks thinks he’s the daddy and is always close by. They are now trying to sleep in the same crate. I’m so excited to have some puppies back in the valley💕

Canada’s x-ray puppy count is showing 7-8! We will do another one next week to see is we can get an exact count. So excited!

We has puppies!! Ms. Canada was confirmed via ultrasound today. We will do an x-ray in 2 weeks to get a preliminary count. As per usual, we dont know s*x or color except there is no chocolate in this litter. I will be reaching out to those on our list in the next week.

Pretty little foster arrived in the valley today for some TLC. Banks is underwhelmed by her puppy antics and is not keen on sharing his human She looks so much like Kenai as a puppy.

Valley Labs still enjoying their best life at opening of dove season on the farm last weekend. These are three of Kenai’s pups from different litters. C**t on the left (sire-Scooby 2020), Caliber in the truck bed (sire-Jack 2023), and Brooke on the right (sire-Jack 2021)

It’s been quite awhile since we’ve updated on the valley’s happenings. After the loss of Prika and Cane’s pups last year, we took some time to evaluate our breeding program. We also some major happenings like our youngest daughter (and puppy whisper) graduating high school and heading off to college then our son getting married as well as some very large projects happening in our business. Having a litter of puppies is minimum of 16 weeks out of your life from conception to sending them to new homes so we always plan carefully.
With that being said, this morning we paired Canada and Cane for a black/yellow litter to arrive in early November, fingers crossed! We do have many applications on file though some are a year old. I will reach out to each one to verify whether they are interested or have already found their furever family member. Canada will have an ultrasound in early October to confirm a pregnancy at which time we will take deposits. Please send positive thoughts to her and us as we have waited almost 4 years for this pairing and these pups will be beautiful!

There’s just something about petting lab ears that is soothing to me. Apparently, my granddaughter has the same belief so Banks obliges us both at bedtime.

Someone is being a stubborn jerk though I can’t fault her. Ucla loves to do her business in private. However, we have to limit her walking during recovery so we can’t let her walk way over to her favorite spot. She also does not like being watched (who does?) so I put her leash on a stick and went inside to watch from the window. She decided she would rather chew herself free than p**p in public.

We are having a battle of wills, this girl and I.

Otherwise her recovery has been nothing short of amazing 🤩. The vets said she is recovering at the rate of a young dog.
