Upcoming Litter 2026
Litter Timeline
We believe in transparency and keeping our puppy families informed every step of the way. Below is the general timeline we follow for Ember’s litters. Exact dates will be updated as her heat cycle begins.
1. Heat Cycle Begins
Ember’s heat cycle typically lasts 2–3 weeks. Once she officially begins, we will update this page and notify families on our waitlist.
2. Breeding Window
Breeding occurs during Ember’s fertile window, usually around days 10–14 of her cycle. After breeding, we count forward 63 days for an estimated due date.
3. Pregnancy Confirmation
Around day 28–30, we confirm pregnancy via ultrasound and share the exciting news with our puppy families.
4. Whelping
Puppies arrive approximately 63 days after breeding. We provide updates as Ember gets closer to her due date and throughout the whelping process.
5. Eight Weeks of Growth
From birth to week eight, puppies are raised in our home with structured socialization, exposure, and daily handling. Families receive frequent updates, photos, and videos.
6. Go‑Home Day
Puppies go to their new homes on or after eight weeks of age, ensuring proper development and social bonding. Before leaving, each puppy will have:
• Early socialization
• Exposure to bird wings
• Introduction to crate basics
• Exposure to household noises, people, and other animals
We also provide guidance on training, feeding, and transitioning your puppy into your home.
