Every so often someone tells me, “I found a puppy cheaper.” And I always respond the same way, kindly and honestly: Then you should choose the cheaper option if price is what matters most to you. Because I’ve learned that the families meant for my puppies don’t choose based on the lowest number—they choose based on trust. A puppy from me is never just a transaction. It’s the result of years of learning, loving, making mistakes, growing, and always trying to do better than the last time. You’re not just paying for a puppy. You’re paying for: • The time I’ve spent studying pedigrees, health, structure, and temperament so every litter has purpose behind it. • The health testing, quality food, vet care, and planning that happen long before tiny paws ever hit the floor. • The sleepless nights, the worry I carry, and the joy I feel watching them grow. • The hours of handling, socializing, and loving on each puppy so they leave here confident and ready to meet the world. • The fact that I know every one of them as individuals—their personalities, their quirks—and I help you choose with heart, not just with eyes. • The messages I answer at all hours, the updates I send, and the excitement I share with you along the way. • The guidance after you go home, when puppyhood gets messy and loud and wonderful. • A breeder who will pick up the phone years from now, celebrate the good days, and help on the hard ones. • And the promise that any dog I bring into this world will always have a place to come back to. Anyone can produce puppies. Not everyone pours their life into raising them the right way. I don’t ever want to be the cheapest option—I want to be the safest, most thoughtful, most caring start your puppy could have. Price is what you pay. Value is what you bring home with you. And the right families feel that difference immediately. #choosesplitmountaindoodles #care #purpose #therightway #love

My cousin asked me to make a video about raising puppies that she could share with her homeschool group. I wasn’t really sure exactly how to go about it, but I put a few things together mostly from this weeks work. I thought after I put the work into making it, that I could share it here too. The real message that I want to come across is that don’t ever judge your life by what is going on right now. You and God can make so much more out of your life. Never hesitate to reach for the stars and continue learning and growing. If you would have told me 10 years ago that I would be running my own business and that it would have to do with raising puppies, I would have never believed you! That girl did not feel capable of anything that I’m doing now. I have become so much more than I ever thought possible. I am so proud of the knowledge and growth that I have had. The road isn’t always smooth, but the good outweighs the bad and it’s definitely worth it! #keepbeingyourbest #businessowner #youcan #capable #raisingpuppies #splitmountaindoodles
