Brandy and her puppies ( 3 days old today).

Thanks to all for the kind words about the loss of our little girl puppy last night. They mean a lot to us.

We have started our curriculum with the puppies today. We did ENS and ESI. Today’s scent was fennel. We have a section of our website called Our Curriculum which gives a nice description of each step of our curriculum so everyone can follow along if they wish.

Sadly, the last girl puppy born ( who spent her first night at the vet hospital) passed away peacefully in her sleep last night surrounded by her mom( Brandy), her siblings, and us. Sometimes, these puppies rally initially and then decline again. Raising puppies brings immense joy but sadness as well when there is loss. People ask how we can become so attached to a young puppy. It’s the vision of the grown up dog that we imagined they would become that we think of- they could be been someone’s best friend.

Brandy and her puppies-day 2

08/12/2025

A first look at Brandy & Cruizer’s puppies born yesterday. The girl puppy who had to spend the night at the vet is home now!

Thanks to all for the continued well wishes. We got home in the early morning hours from the emergency vet. Brandy was a rockstar and is doing great. They were able to deliver the 2 remaining puppies using medication and not a c section. The boy who was delivered was strong. The girl who was delivered needs a little extra help maintaining her temperature and blood sugar. We made the decision to have her spend the night at the vet because they have more resources there than we do here. The vet is supposed to give me an update this morning.
The rest of the details:
9 puppies were born ( all black no yellows)
5 are females
4 are males
While they are all doing well, we will wait a bit to make sure that they are continuing to thrive before we reach out to those on our waiting list. But, please keep an eye out for an email from me in the coming days ( please also keep an eye on your junk and spam folders as sometimes our emails land there). Thanks again!

First puppy(a black female) was delivered at 9am at home just as Joe was loading up the SUV to head to the vet’s office. We have been in contact with them and the plan is to call them at noon if no further puppies are delivered.

Update on Brandy:
No puppies overnight so we will be headed to the vet in a little bit. Brandy was pretty comfortable overnight, taking long naps. She is most upset this morning because she couldn’t have breakfast with the other dogs in case she needs a c section. We will keep everyone updated here.

Update on Brandy:
Her baby bump is growing and looks like it is moving down a bit. She is still eating and drinking well and only having short episodes of panting, restless, nesting. Then, she will take a long nap. She is still wearing a dog smile. If she doesn’t deliver by tomorrow, we will be headed back to the vet for a recheck in the am. We will keep everyone updated here.

Laurie and Joe’s Labs

We are Laurie and Joe Zalewski, breeders of Labrador Retrievers and proud owners of Bailey, Brownie, Midnight, Shiloh, Maddie, Sitka, and Cobalt.

Our goal is to provide our puppy families with the puppy they need and want through detailed puppy evaluations.

We differ from many other breeders as we raise our puppies on an unique curriculum based on the sensitive developmental stages of a puppy . When our puppies leave Laurie & Joe’s Labs, they know the world is safe, people are kind, and dogs are friendly.

We believe in the power of a dog and the ability they have to change our puppy families lives as companion pets, service dogs, emotional support animals, facility dogs, school dogs, and sporting partners,
