The Debate of Dewclaw Removal

26 Sep No Comments timbearden Breeder Education, Puppy Education

National Dog Day

27 Aug No Comments timbearden Random

While browsing through social media it’s hard not to miss that today is National Dog Day. Really, at our home it’s pretty much a dog day every day. Nothing really went on here with the pack. We did get some deer antlers from Amazon. I wish I had realized that

Camping With Golden Retrievers

Microchipped Puppies
