Milestone: Base Camp Buzz Week 3

August 15, 2025

Our tiny trekkers have officially hit the 3-week mark, and the trail just got lively. In the last 48 hours we’ve seen a burst of “base camp energy”: ears are open, tiny teeth are starting to peek through, and they’re navigating the larger space with growing confidence. Wobbles are turning into purposeful steps, and the first play bows, nose boops, and sibling pounces have begun—mini mountaineers testing their footing. 🏔️🐾

We’ve also started quiet visits, which the pups handle beautifully between their long nap cycles and short active windows. Thank you, families, for leaning into the calm, clean, and germ-smart protocol—every careful step helps these explorers thrive.

From here, the views get better by the day: more coordination, more curiosity, and more personality popping through. Little pinnacles, big hearts—Week 3 feels like the moment the horizon really opens up. 

Milestone: Eyes on the Summit

August 11, 2025

Eyes wide open and our little adventurers have found their legs! Personalities are really starting to emerge, and we’re already seeing some fun and unique traits in these pups. Here’s a little update on a few of the personalities we’ve picked up on in these two short weeks:

Crux❤️ – Naturally energetic, Crux’s drive is coming through strong! He’s quick to sniff out mama’s milk and isn’t afraid to steal a nipple from one of his siblings. The most vocal boy of the bunch, Crux is independent but still a lover at heart.

K2💙 – K2 is alert and responsive, and this big boy has an equally big heart. He’s already walking and knows exactly where he’s headed! He loves a good snuggle but also enjoys his independence.

Ridge🖤 – Ridge may be small, but he’s mighty! If he could run, he’d be all over the place! Already showing his love for humans, Ridge is the true Velcro dog. He takes his nuzzling in your neck very seriously, always seeking out affection.

Andy🧡 – Pure heart in this little guy! Andy is walking like a champ and loves to snuggle up in a warm spot. But when he’s ready to move on, he’ll let you know! And he’s not shy about telling you when it’s time for a meal either.

Rocky💚 – Rocky is the chillest guy in the bunch, super easy-going and sweet. He’s a lover but has no problem being independent and laying by himself. Already walking incredibly well, Rocky is often found at the top of the dog pile, taking it all in stride.

Aspen🩵- our quiet, independent, lover and burrowing queen! She is sweet, gentle, and already loyal! She takes snuggling very seriously!

Sierra💜 - this little independent lady is a go getter! She is fast and has an incredible nose already! She can sniff mama out even when she’s sound asleep! Although she seems pretty independent, she loves to snuggle in your neck and smell you!

Everest🩷- she has grown leaps and bounds and is walking like a champ! She has no problem laying by herself but also loves to nuzzle and feel safe! She’s affectionate and already loves to give kisses!

These little adventurers are growing fast and starting to show their unique personalities. We can’t wait to see how they continue to develop over the coming weeks!

Milestone: Eyes on the Summit

August 8, 2025

Two weeks old today, and our tiny mountaineers are officially opening their eyes to the world around them. Little glimpses of light, movement, and each other are just beginning to register—and it’s pure magic. Their ears will be tuning in next, and soon the den will be filled with even more adorable grunts, squeaks, and curious little growls.

They're beginning to find their legs, clumsily navigating their newly expanded terrain like true explorers-in-training. Wobbles have replaced wiggles, and watching them learn how to move with purpose is like witnessing the first steps on a well-planned trail—unsteady but full of promise.

Their journey is just beginning, but the instincts are already kicking in. There's a certain spark in their tiny eyes now… as if they already know they were born for bigger things. 

Here’s to another week of growth, grit, and tiny adventures underfoot. The summit is still far off—but oh, the views along the way!

One week on the trail!

August 1, 2025

It’s hard to believe the Peak Pursuit crew is already 1 week old—but that’s the beauty of the journey: it moves fast, and we fall in love even faster. 💗

Everyone is gaining weight, scooting around the whelping box like seasoned little trekkers, and nursing like champs. K2 and Sierra are currently leading the pack as our heavyweight hikers—never missing a stop at the milk station! Thankfully, Remi’s milk supply is flowing strong, and all eight pups are thriving on the trail.

Next up on their adventure: eyes and ears will begin to open, giving them a whole new perspective on the world—and once that happens, the pace picks up fast. Get ready for wobbly steps, curious noses, and the start of true Peak Pursuit exploration!

Trailhead Milestone: First Vet Visit Complete!

July 28, 2025

First Vet Visit: Check!
The Peak Pursuit pups took their very first field trip today—for tails and dewclaws—and handled it like tiny pros!  It was a big afternoon full of lots of TLC from our amazing vet team.

Mama Remi also got a wellness exam and earned an A+—she’s healing beautifully and doing a fantastic job caring for her crew. 

These little adventurers are already checking milestones off the list, and we’re so proud of how well everyone is gaining weight and thriving. Onward and upward from here!

Basecamp: Pups Arrival

July 25, 2025

After days of prep at Whelping Basecamp, Remi's first pup arrived in the early hours of Friday morning, July 25th—and the adventure officially began!

As a first-time mama, Remi handled whelping with the grace and instinct GSPs are known for. From her calm demeanor to her attentive care, her natural maternal instincts kicked in beautifully, and she navigated the entire experience like a seasoned pro. After delivering her first five pups, she took a well-deserved rest before pushing on to welcome three more beautiful pups, completing her crew of eight tiny mountaineers.

The first 24 hours have been peaceful and full of quiet bonding. Remi has been resting comfortably and getting to know her pups, while we’ve been absolutely smitten watching this little pack settle in.

Everyone is thriving—and this journey is just beginning.

Stay tuned as we unveil their Peak Pursuit litter names and share their first big milestones! 🐾

Whelping Basecamp: Assembled

July 23, 2025

We’re officially in the final countdown — Remi is less than a week away from her due date, and the Peak Pursuit pups are on the move! You can see and feel those little adventurers stretching and squirming as they get ready to make their grand debut.

Mama-to-be is doing great: resting, nesting, and getting all the extra belly rubs she can soak up. We’ve got the whelping area prepped and our supplies stocked — now we wait (impatiently) for these tiny trailblazers to arrive.

Stay tuned for the moment these future TopPups hit basecamp. 🐾
