All of our puppies are raised in our home, not in a breeding kennel. Along with completing our enrichment and development, they have been loved and cuddled from the time they come into this world. Each puppy is socialized to men, women, and children of all ages and animals (dogs, cats, chickens). To help build confidence we provide sound desensitization by playing sounds (thunder, fireworks, banging pans, babies crying, music, traffic, and so on) that they may encounter which helps keep them calm in situations that may otherwise make them fearful or anxious.

​

We start potty training in boxes with litter that consists of artificial grass and/or pellets (alfalfa and/or pine) as soon as they can get around. They become accustomed to relieving themselves in a specific location, making further potty training in an outside location easier for owners. Puppies are introduced to crates when they are moved from the whelping box to a larger enclosure at around 3 weeks. They can go in and out as they like to help them feel safe and comfortable. 

 

Our puppies are usually ready to go home at about 8 weeks of age after they receive health clearance from our veterinarian.
