The most heartwarming furry puppy pile!

The Mountain Peaks litter is now three weeks old

They are a bundle of pure joy with endless sweetness.

These little explorers are just beginning to find their way in the world, and it's an absolute delight to watch them.

Their little puppy tummies are so soft and tempting.

When they flop over onto their backs, eagerly awaiting a gentle belly rub, I can’t resist!

Their tiny paws stretch out as if asking for more.

When I run my hand across their soft fur, pure contentment washes over their eyes.

Playtime is beginning for these sweet pups, now, too.

With their little teeth now making an appearance, they can't help but latch onto a brother or sister’s fur coat.

Their gentle nips don’t seem to bother anyone too much—yet.

It’s all part learning the canine culture.

They stumble and wobble, tumbling over each other as they begin to figure out the art of rough-and-tumble play.

After their small bursts of energy, they always end up in the most heartwarming furry puppy pile.

They snuggle up together, paws draped over each other.

Then, they drift off into peaceful sleep, their soft tummies moving up and down.

You can’t help but smile at the sight of these little ones so blissfully content in each other’s warmth.

Their pack bond is already so strong.

But as tender as these moments are, the puppies are growing fast.

They are giants after all.

Their once cozy indoor whelping space has quickly become too small for their growing curiosity and playful antics.

So, yesterday, they took the next big step: the transition to the outside nursery.

Now they have more room to stretch their legs, explore, and discover the broader world around them.

In just another week, they'll also be big enough for the large adjacent yard, where they will learn how to climb down stairs, navigate uneven surfaces, and learn all about the tunnel.

Watching them take these first steps toward independence is so fun.

I love soaking in these precious puppy moments, filled with belly rubs, playful tugs, and sleepy snuggles.

P.P.S. The wait is over! We are officially open for puppy picking!

I have bolded the first person on the active waiting list. You can follow along by monitoring the waiting list to see which family I am speaking with.

If the family chooses, their name will move from the waiting list to their puppy’s name.

If they decide to continue to wait, I will unbold their name on the list and bold the next active name.

YAY!!
