About how many litters do you have a year?

I produce between 1 to 3 litters a year. Litters are bred and raised in my home - the same environment that they will be living in with you for the rest of their lives!

Do you raise your puppies in a kennel?

No. We birth and raise each puppy in our very own home environment - the same environment in which they will spend the rest of their lives with you. We DO NOT raise pups in kennels or barns or fenced in areas away from humans.

Do you allow an outside source to evaluate and temperament-test the puppies?

Yes. We also highly encourage and recommend that you come and see the pups for yourself.

How often do your puppies get a vet check, and can I request a vet check of my own with a return clause?

Are you available to consult about my puppy?

Absolutely! I’m an open book. Please feel free to reach out and I will be more than happy to assist.

How do you socialize or mentally engage puppies from birth?

During the first weeks of their lives, they enjoy family night week us and our pack of dogs every evening. Pups learn manners and balanced behaviors from our pack of dogs. Neurological stimulation starts at three days of age. As soon as their eyes open at roughly two weeks of age, the pups begin exposure and desensitization to sounds and loud noises, eventually crate and potty training, and a mini obstacle course, while learning basic obedience tasks. I breed and work with these puppies in my home environment with my balanced pack of dogs. All pups are socialized with other dogs, cats, and children.

Do you have any videos online that shows the work their dogs have or are doing?

I occasionally post videos on our Facebook page, especially when a new litter joins the world! I can also send you pictures and videos of your puppy upon request.

At what age do you send the puppies from their litter to their new homes?

I recommend no earlier than eight weeks. It’s important for your puppy to grow up with their siblings and mother until at least eight weeks old - twelve to 16 weeks is great as well. Early removal of your puppy from their litter may stunt its ability to socialize properly.

What tests do you do on your dogs?

<enter> CERF-test eyes; hips x-rayed and rated; breed-specific tests?

Why are you asking me so many questions about my home?

I expect and will accept nothing less than a safe home environment for your puppy. Each puppy is purpose-bred to serve you and be there with you for the rest of your life. The more information I know about you, your needs, and the environment that your puppy will be in, the easier it will be for me to observe specific behaviors and assist you in selecting the puppy that best fits you.
