Literally on the Edge of Death
So, one of my dogs got sick. She got really sick. She became so ill I thought I was going to lose her. I want to share this horrifying experience with you for a few reasons. For one, I hope to help others who may encounter similar issues with their…

#1 Dog Bed! by My Pillow
Call me a nut, but I am quite a sentimental person. When I see all that is going on in our once great country my heart aches. Frankly, it’s been like this for many years, only recently brewing to a head for the general populace to see. I dearly love…

K9 Ballistics: Best, Most Durable Dog Beds
Anyone that has a Dutch, or other pooch that likes to chew and dig at anything that interests them (especially when you’re not looking!), knows how difficult it is to find a suitable, durable dog bed. Well, our professional product-tester here at APupStop, Hanani, has been a huge help in…

Say What?
“Patriot Pup”?? Say what? What’s going on here? Well, it’s fairly simple. We have been working our tails off to dig out favorable businesses to highlight. We understand–“been there, done that”–how crazy it can get trying to find durable beds, non-toxic bowls and toys, not to mention food that won’t…

Demand Dog Food USA Only
What a year it was! Seriously. What a start to a New Year it has been! Right? All I can say is wow. Just wow. I have been a bit beside myself with all the mess of things, both in our Nation and my own little spot on this globe…

Ooh, ooh, That Smell!
If we’re honest, all of us doggy people have had those moments when someone walks into our house, crinkles their expression and asks, “What is smell?” Or, you may just have folks leaving your home saying, “Ooh, ooh, that smell!” Or maybe you are fortunate enough to notice it yourself.…

So, What Happened?
Anyone that follows my dog blog here may be wondering where I’ve been these past couple months. Last you read at A Pup Stop, we were Getting Ready to Whelp. The due date was anticipated toward the end of May. We were all set. You (hopefully) were waiting on edge…

Getting Ready to Whelp
There are lots of sites with good information on breeding and whelping. There are also lots of sites with goofy information on this topic. Since now, May 17th, 2020, we are at the 7 week mark I thought I’d share a bit about what we have been through while we…

Build the Breed
Searching for suitable K9s to build the breed of Dutch Shepherd, like their history, has not been easy. Much ado about sound hips, proven drive with even temperament, alongside some scenting qualities and a resilient confidence, in addition to a male that would balance my bitch, creates a swarm of…

Anticipating Change
Funny how so much has changed over the past several weeks. For me, this quarantine bs has not altered a lot of my work and going to and fro. Anyone that knows me, knows I prefer being home and my life and work fit quite scrumptiously within the bounds of…

Update: Hanani’s Reform School Progress
Thanx again to several fine folks that contributed to get Hanani started in “reform school” 🙂 She has been doing well and we work at least 3-4 hours a day–which is why I have neglected posting this update for a while. Sorry about that! But I now have a moment…

Update: 2 Months/Changes
So it’s been about 2 months since we last connected. It’s been a tedious couple of months and I will address all that in up-coming posts. For now, here is a quick update: Hanani did not attend the CGC class and thus, did not get certified as planned. We’ll detail…
