Le papa de la portée 2026 est ... Boots !
It’s been 100 days since Kodiak joined us!
We are proud of his success story and everything he has achieved. Proud of his zest for life, his adaptability, and his understanding of us. Kodiak chose to work with us, to trust us. He wanted to listen, to accompany us, to understand and integrate himself into our lives.
We are therefore delighted to announce that Kodiak will be available for stud services. We hope he will sire puppies worthy of him: close to humans, confident in life, attentive, loving. Puppies capable of facing the world with confidence and love, and able to overcome any challenge while maintaining absolute trust in humans.

Meet the new girl of our kennel: Yucca
This year, we had the privilege of making the very first choice. Rose will be the one to stay with us, and (we hope!) she will proudly carry the name Yucca.
This little lady is lively and playful, yet knows how to remain calm when needed.
She has her own personality, but also shows great focus and recall. She loves to play and approaches new things with gentle curiosity. Confident in herself, she will easily find her place within our pack. She can be very social, but also enjoys taking time to herself when she feels the need.

Since April 25, future adopters have been coming one after another to meet their future four-legged companions. Each meeting is a unique moment, filled with emotion and excitement.

The Tymos are growing up, and weaning is starting!
The Tymos are now almost 3 weeks old, and weaning has begun! The scent-stimulation program and BioSensor (days 3 to 16) are now complete. For more details, we invite you to check out this section of the site.
March 12, 2025
The Tymos were born on March 12.
Nine puppies were born, including seven females—a wonderfully female‑dominated team!
Whelpings are always stressful, but Tyuli handled everything beautifully.
We check the puppies’ weights daily to ensure they are healthy. If any puppy isn’t gaining enough, we make sure to nurse it more frequently.
