We took classes of dog training, then participated in agility and obedience competitions with him. Today, he is 11 years old and fighting against a bone tumor in his jaw. We fight alongside him. When we we found, this dog had known nothing, but today, he has become a recognized champion in the canine world. He truly gives everything for love. ❤️"

With time, love and patience, our family has grown and we are very happy with him!”
The story of Thor, Golden Retriever:
"He was the puppy that no one wanted. The smallest of a litter, he was bottle-fed because his siblings wouldn't let him nurse. He also has a cranial deformity and a small eye which add to his charm, as well as a damaged lip. Nobody wanted him. I looked at him and I wouldn't have chosen another puppy for anything..."
The History of Chelsea, Border Collie:

Lucky's Story - Staffie
My pretty Lucky, 8 years ago, is the little baby, a miracle litter because the mother, Gaïa, who belongs to my sister, had to undergo emergency surgery at the start of her gestation. The babies survived the anesthesia. At birth Lucky was breech, my husband then helped Gaïa give birth to her, when she came out she was not breathing. So my husband stimulated her and she came back to life. My choice was immediately made, it was her and no one else! A crazy adventure then began for us. Unfortunately short-lived, she left us at the age of 5... we were so close... But she always remains in my heart and by my side, every day, she is part of me, it's a little tribute to my sweetheart.
Oky's story - Golden Retriever
Don't be fooled by the sad look in the photo. Oky is a dog full of life, happy, always up for adventure. His trick when walking: find the dirtiest puddle or puddle possible and lie down full length. Only happiness.
The story of Maîko - German Shepherd
This is a dog that I took from a breeder at the puppy show at 5 months old. He was skinny, didn't know how to walk and never ate or drank. He was at the vet for 1 week and took 3 years before he became a very comfortable dog.
Junior's story - Doberman
Junior was part of a litter of 8 dogs. His previous owner did not take care of his dogs, the litter wandered around the village until one of the puppies from the pound killed a person. The court's decision was to place all the dogs in the pound, but an association recovered them, including Junior. I picked up Junior in July 2021, he was only one year old. Junior has been living with me for 2 years now, I have been training him, he is a very sensitive, hyper vigilant dog, I am currently working with an educator "Tonton Croquette" because Junior has had bad experiences with veterinarians, we We are currently working on Medical Training. Junior is very greedy, so training is quite easy because he is eager to learn, receive treats and cuddles. Junior is very very very cuddly, he welcomes my guests with lots of love, he doesn't bark, he doesn't destroy and he is clean. It is a dog which has its difficulties but which also has its qualities. I really like this little Junior! 🐕🐶
