Happy Beginnings

One of our favorite parts of raising our puppies is seeing them off to their new lives successfully.

In all the fun and chaos of selecting puppies and going over all the info, we didn’t get photos of everyone. But Rich and Addie enjoyed meeting everyone.

Back at home, the rest of us got photos and a report after nearly every appointment: who went home with who, how it went, great impressions of the families.

When we have heard about your last dog, your family, how you plan to take your dog to work or work from home with your new puppy or have a mother-in-law or dog sitter lined up, along with your cat and kids and hiking trips and soccer games…. and then we send our babies to their forever homes with you, you become family.

Whether you are starting your journey with Red River Retrievers or coming back for your 2nd or 3rd, we feel confidant that every single one of our puppies has gone home to an amazing life.

Meeting everyone is the icing on the cake of each “puppy season.” While we don’t covet the long drive, those of us at home who only get to hear about it second hand are a little envious of the one who get to send them off.

We love hearing about how the family introductions are going, how nighttime and house training are working out, etc. We love getting snapshots of the puppies’ new lives.

We have heard from most everyone, and things seem to be going well. Lots of sweet cuddles and shenanigans.

Our house seems a little quiet, but we are snuggling our big babies a lot more again, which they like.

We are also enjoying a crazy Artic blast down here in the South. The dogs think snow is great fun. Naia tries to catch every snowball!

Snuggle up with your fur babies, stay warm, and send us an update from time to time.

Happy Ending for us. Happy Beginning to you!
