The Cherry Blossom Litter makes history!

Long ago, beneath the pale light of an Ice Age moon, colossal dire wolves roamed the frozen tundras.

Their massive forms cut through the frostbitten air like ghosts from another time.

Today, echoes of that prehistoric past emerge once again!

Eight powerful, awe-inspiring American Dirus puppies have entered the world, carrying the legendary spirit of their ancestors.

From the union of Cookie Monster and Galena, the Cherry Blossom Litter has been born.

A perfect blend of ancient power and breathtaking beauty.

With four males and four females, these puppies promise to be among the most formidable ever produced by the Dire Wolf Project.

But from the fossil remains

of the dire wolves of old,

a new legend rises.

At birth, little Bluebell weighed in at just 1 lb. 3 oz., a delicate blossom among giants.

Yet, at the other end of the spectrum, two titanic puppies shattered records, tipping the scales at an astonishing 1 lb. 11 oz.!

A weight only matched once before in the history of the breed.

And for the first time ever,

one of these colossal newborns is a female!

Her name is Sweet Rose, and she now holds the title of the largest female puppy ever born in the Dire Wolf Project, standing shoulder to shoulder with the most massive males of the past.

A queen among titans, she is living proof that the strength of the dire wolf bloodline continues to surge forward, unstoppable as the glaciers that once carved the earth’s monumental valleys.

What will these mighty pups become?

Which puppies will grow into the next guardians of the breed, the next legends whispered among the winds of time?

The journey of discovery for these little ones has only just begun.
