What We Do

1. All our sire and dams go through temperament and health testing. We strive to research the bloodlines and each dog must clear our temperament testing.

2. “Early Neurological Stimulation” ENS is performed on puppies starting at three days old through 13 days old. This program was developed by Dr. Carmen Battaglia. The benefits of this are
~ Improved cardiovascular performance.
~Stronger heart beats.
~Stronger adrenal glands.
~More tolerance to stress.
~Greater resistance to disease.

3. Early Scent Introduction “ESI begins on day three through day thirteen. This program was developed by Dr. Gayle Watkins. The benefits are nose awareness and confidence.

4. Essential 7 Regime. This program exposes the puppies to 7 different categories of 7 different stimuli in each. One example is to feed the pups in 7 different locations.

5. Starting at 3 weeks old, each day our pup undergoes a program devised by Jeanette Forrey, based on handling. This is called the “Puppy Massage” program. This program has 10 steps to ensure puppies are exposed to various types of human touching, handling, and sensation. Puppy go home packets will have a handout so this program can be continued when the puppies go home.

6. Puppies will be socialized and introduced to many confidence building activities. These activities are based on the puppies age. Encouraging our puppies to problem solve and bounce back from stresses is especially important for a well-rounded dog.

7. We perform the puppy aptitude test as well as a variety of other puppy evaluation exercises at 7 weeks old to help make sure you get a puppy that fits you, your lifestyle, and your needs.

8. Pictures and videos of the puppies during the first 8 weeks with us will be provided.

9. Puppies will come with a 2-year health guarantee against fatal/severe genetic defects.

10. Age appropriate vaccinations and deworming.

11. Puppy are sent home with a puppy packet that includes the ENS, ESI, socialization, puppy massage chart, toy, blanket with Mom’s scent, and food sample.

12. We believe in responsible breeding and with that we strive to place puppies with great families. We also understand that life happens and sometimes things change. (Sickens, death, moving ext.) We are non-judgmental. Our dogs should NEVER end up in rescues, shelters, pounds, or similar facility.
