25.8.2022 | VIS
We can finally say all our "V" puppies are at home! Not many of you knew that Vis had a very special temporary home in the USA !
It is not a secret I have a very high standards about new homes, so I will always do my best that my girls puppies live their dream life. Our baby Vis was/is the most energetic puppy of the litter and the perfect home was waiting for him even before he was born - with his halfbrother Epic.
But as we all know life can get busy and has its own unpredictable ways... and so it happened that Vis could join his family at the end of August earliest. I wasn't keen on the idea of giving up a perfect home (what can be better than a busy horse ranch life for my boy?) for him. There were 3 other puppies flying to the US to their new families and so it happened. The family of Viggo didn't hesitate a second to offer to babysit Vis for almost 2 months . This isn't a thing I would usually do but with Viggo's family, it felt right. And so the boys flew together, had the most amazing 2 months of adventures together, attended the dog school training, had the most impressive socialization and Vis was loved as he would be theirs.
Daily updates and pics proved that this was the best thing we could do for Vis. I can't thank enough to Patricia Cumper & Jim Cumper & Viggo & Loki for their help and for everything they did for Vis. Your hearts are golden. Today Vis left with his new momma to North Carolina. We are looking forward seeing the Epic & Vis meeting!
