Our main goal in placement is to be sure that your new companion will be treated as a family member; we do not place puppies in homes where they will be housed outdoors.
We plan 1 to 2 litters annually. Our dog and those we use in our breeding program are AKC registered, hip, elbow, eye and heart cleared by the appropriate board certified veterinarian specialists. Please see our Code of Ethics & Current Health Screenings link.
Puppies are whelped (born) and raised in our home to go home at 8 weeks. They are very well socialized beginning with early neurological stimulation & lots of handling. As they develop they are introduced to sights, sounds, and textures at appropriate stages. We potty box train our litters using litter pans (like cat boxes) beginning at about 4 weeks of age and at 6 weeks of age we start to do after meal trips outside to aide in housebreaking.
Nutrition & Health Care:
Our adult dogs are fed a whole raw biologically appropriate diet. We believe feeding a raw diet is part of our responsibility as breeders, as we believe breeding dogs should be in optimal condition. While we feel feeding a raw diet is optimal our puppies are fed high quality kibble and are offered raw bones as treats. It is too difficult to monitor up to 10 individuals in a litter situation and keep their environment clean of bacteria their immature systems may not be ready to tackle.
We also subscribe to a modified vaccination protocol of minimal vaccines and we strongly suggest everyone empower their selves with education regarding vaccines, including the dangers of both under vaccinating and over vaccinating.
