A treasured girl, a devoted mother, and the beginning of a beautiful legacy.

Catalina is one of those special dogs who bonds deeply and wholeheartedly to her person. She has a quiet, devoted way of loving that makes her incredibly special to those fortunate enough to call her theirs. Once Catalina gives you her heart, she gives it completely.

Life with Catalina

Over the years, Catalina has given our program three beautiful litters, and we are endlessly grateful for every puppy she has brought into the world. But perhaps her greatest gift has been the way she has mothered them. Catalina is the most incredible mother, loving her puppies with her whole heart and taking such joy in raising them. Watching her care for each litter has been one of the great privileges of our journey with her.

Now, after three beautiful litters, it is time for Catalina to begin a new chapter. Her breeding days are coming to a close, and soon she will be heading off on new adventures with a loving family of her very own. While saying goodbye to her as part of our breeding program is bittersweet, we are so excited for the life and love that await her.

And Catalina’s story at Shamayim Acres will continue through two very special daughters: Diamond and Emerald, whom we proudly kept from her Gemstone litter. These girls carry forward a piece of Catalina’s legacy, and we are incredibly excited to see where they take our program in the generations to come.

Catalina has given us so much—beautiful puppies, cherished memories, and two daughters who will help carry her legacy forward. For all that she has given our family and our program, we will always be grateful.

Thank you, Catalina, for being such a wonderful mother, a devoted companion, and such an important part of the Shamayim Acres story.

Our litters are planned around these dogs. Applying early is the best way to be considered for an upcoming litter.
