GRAND SEA OF WHITE REUNION 2026 – A Massive Success!

 What an absolutely incredible day!

Our Grand Sea of White Reunion this year turned out to be one of the largest, funnest, grandest, most memorable events we've ever hosted.

Last year we welcomed 39 people and 16 dogs. This year, we were blown away with an amazing turnout of 61 people and 22 dogs…I think at least!

Seeing our fur family continue to grow by leaps and bounds is something I never take for granted.

The weather couldn't have been more perfect. Sunshine, mildly warm sunny temps, and the steadfast Stilly river created the ideal setting for everyone—both two-legged and four-legged—to relax, play, watch the amazing entertainment and simply enjoy the day together. Ryley and Dobby stole my hearts as the water stars. Leia made my day by giving me the opportunity to go for a dip with her. Nala my ‘mini’ 41 lb. Golden graced us all with her tiny self attendance. The Sola boys were magnificent. The Meiko and Isla kids were gorgeous.

I ADORED seeing so many of our 4-month-old puppies from our most recent litters reunite. It was incredible watching them instantly gravitate toward one another as if they had never been apart. Their playful energy was contagious, and they spent the afternoon running, splashing, wrestling, and making memories together.

It was equally special to see all the dogs representing all five of our amazing mama dogs. We even had Ginger, my OG of my program, the queen who started it all, who is now almost 11 years old, join us alongside darling Leia who now lives with her. Watching multiple generations of our program together in one place is something that's difficult to put into words. It reminds me again and again over and over how I love pouring so much heart into every litter I raise.

It was also wonderful meeting several of our future puppy families who came just to experience our ‘Cream Puff’ community before bringing home their very own puppy later this year. Watching them visit with current families, ask questions, meet our dogs, and see firsthand what this extended family is all about made the day even more meaningful.

Watching everyone connect, share stories, watch their pups have the best day ever, made the day… well… the best day ever. Conversations flowed naturally, laughter filled the air, friendships were made, and everyone genuinely enjoyed getting to know one another. It felt less like an event and more like a family gathering.

Without question, this reunion has become one of the biggest highlights of our year. This special day of reconnection reminds me that I’m not simply raising puppies—I’m helping to build lifelong relationships and an incredible community of families who all share the same love for these amazing dogs.

And if I had to guess... every single dog and puppy that attended is probably still sleeping! They certainly earned it!

Noni's Pregnancy Update -

Our sweet Noni continues to do wonderfully with her pregnancy. She's still her happy go lucky self and hasn't slowed down much yet, although those puppies are definitely growing! She's getting thicker by the day..the part that us women 'LOVE' ha!

Each ultrasound gives us clearer and clearer images.

One of my favorite early pregnancy signs has become very obvious—the classic "flank fur flip." As her growing belly BUMPS, the fur along her flanks begins to flip outward before her actual belly bump appears. It's one of those subtle little clues that breeders love to watch for.

By next week, we should have a beautiful, noticeable baby bump, small I’m sure, but apparent. We have some incredibly excited families counting down the days until these little ones arrive, and we couldn't be more excited right alongside them.

Looking Ahead

Our beautiful girls Isla and Neema are still patiently waiting to come into season. Neither has cycled just yet, but we're expecting both of them to shift here within the next month or so.

There is so much to look forward to as we move into the next chapter, and we can't wait to share every milestone with all of you.

Thank you to every family who came to our reunion. Your love, support, dedication, and commitment to these dogs mean the world to me.

Here's to another unforgettable year together!
