If
you've ever had a child you'll remember the doctor telling you
to eat well, get good restful sleep and gentle exercise, take
your vitamins. Why not for our puppy moms as well? How can we
expect healthy, long-lived pets if we feed their moms garbage?
With
this in mind we found a food program that is the healthiest we
can give them. We feed premium foods that use human-grade
ingredients, give our moms natural herbal supplements and we
don't buy pet food from a grocery store.
We
clean without toxic chemicals and we clean often, which is
helpful for us when we potty train.
Neurological
and tactile stimulation is practiced here. We have toys,
climbing equipment, tunnels and mentally stimulating exercises
for our puppies. They get to scratch on interesting surfaces
and smell some wonderful stuff. They paint with their own paws
and make sounds on pianos and playpads. They watch TV and
listen to music and we let them use their own voices to talk to
us. In addition, we talk to them on a regular basis. We use
phrases like “go potty” and “no bite”
and “leave it”.
We
believe that our wait list families deserve a chance to bond
early and often with their puppy. That's why we create movies
for them weekly and post information on our forum as they grow.
We take a lot of pictures that can be copied from the website
for their enjoyment and we welcome them to help us socialize
our puppies and learn about their care.
We
are always learning better ways to grow our puppies by studying
the latest information on dog care, including; worming,
preventing infections, better breeding and training methods.
By
the time your puppy goes home, he'll have been wormed often and
in a rotation, had one vaccine and inoculations for Coccidia
and Giardia.**
He'll
have a good idea of where he's supposed to potty, making it
easier to potty train him.
He'll
understand that you are communicating with him and will often
look up at you while you're talking.
He's
better prepared for staying alone and more confident in life
with our training program and rotations.
He's
healthier and less prone to allergies and later infections, as
we've fed his mother well, not only while she's nursing but
before he's born-or even conceived!
He'll
be temperament tested to help his family create an effective
training program for him and will always be a part of a loving,
growing family.

don't guarantee against an infection in the future. BayCox and
Safeguard are used here for prevention.
