RECENT Program NEWS
FLORENCE gave birth to 12 Lab/Golden Cross Puppies!
Florence is a lab/Golden cross service dog female from Guide Dogs of America. Florence is incredibly sweet, gentle, and handler focused. She has been an amazing mom and we are looking forward to her second litter of puppies arriving mid October. The dad of this litter is Winston the Labrador. He is owned by a client of ours and has a great temperament. Winston has a desire to please, and is a medium-energy boy.
On Friday, October 10th Florence gave birth to 12 healthy puppies! Everyone is doing well and gaining weight. This litter is being whelped in Terrebonne, Oregon and will be raised with Puppy Culture, Early Neurological Stimulation, and lots of exposure in public via puppy strollers, wagons, and backpacks. Our wait list for this litter is full.
Kinglsey headed to Aspen service dogs!
Kingsley the Newfie/Golden cross headed to Canada at the end of August to join Aspen Service Dogs' training program! This sweet boy was born into our program and we are so proud of him. Aspen Service Dogs, located in Edmonton, Alberta, trains a variety of service dogs, facility dogs, and therapy dogs.
Flopsy's Golden Retriever puppies have been placed!
Flopsy the Golden Retriever was bred to Darby the Golden of Joys of Living Assistance Dogs. On August 1st, she welcomed this beautiful litter into the world. This is Flopsy's second litter. All of these pups have now been placed and are growing quickly!
We look forward to following along with each of these puppies as they mature.
Our Louise x Anton Ego litter of Newfie crosses has been placed!
Louise is our female Newfoundland therapy dog. She has an amazing track record of producing successful service and therapy dog puppies, and we are excited for these 8 new puppies! The sire is a Lab/Golden Cross named Anton Ego from 4 Paws for Ability. We breed Newfie crosses for the purposes of mobility assistance dogs, therapy dogs, and psychiatric service dogs. Their larger size is particularly desirable for brace/balance work.
Five of these pups were placed into service dog training. Two went to New Life K9s in San Luis Obispo, two stayed with The Service Dog Connection, and one went to an owner trainer in Seattle.
We also had one therapy dog head to Texas.
HOBBS has been placed as a PSYCHIATRIC service dog
Hobbs was placed as a psychiatric service dog with a handler in Los Angeles. His new handler will be teaching him cardiac alert skills in addition to the psychiatric service dog training that we have done. We are so proud of this happy little English Cocker Spaniel finding his purpose in life.
Jett has been transfered to k9s for Warriors
Jett the poodle was raised in our service dog program since he was 10 weeks old. At the end of April, a trainer from K9s for Warriors flew out to Oregon to evaluate our dogs and decided to add Jett to their service dog program. He is now living in Florida and will become a service dog for a Veteran in their program.
We are so proud of Jett, and look forward to working with K9s for Warriors in the future.
Hero has been placed as a started service dog
Hero is a Labrador/Newfoundland cross that was born from our breeding program. He spent the first year and a half in our service dog training program with different puppy raisers and trainers. He is an incredibly sweet, confident dog that loves to work. Since we did not have an applicant that specifically met Hero's needs and temperament well, we decided to place him as a public access trained started service dog with an owner-trainer in Southern California.
After several days of team training in Oregon at the end of February 2025, this new service dog team is doing wonderfully together. They have already begun to visit Disneyland regularly together. Hero's new handler will do his task training once they are a more solid pair and Hero has matured a bit more. He will be a psych/mobility/medical alert service dog.
Florenge gave birth to 11 healthy Lab/Golden cross puppies
Florence is a lab/Golden cross from Guide Dogs of America's breeding program. She joined our program as an 8-week-old pup and has graduated as a psych/medical response service dog on a guardian contract. Florence was bred to Mayer, a Lab/Golden cross from 4 Paws for Ability.
On February 15th, 2025 Florence gave birth to 11 healthy pups! We are excited to see where these puppies end up in their service dog journey!
