This
is an exciting time for anyone getting a new puppy.
All my puppies are born
indoors in a climate controlled room. This room is disinfected
to insure a clean environment for mother and our new babies.
Puppy’s immune systems are not strong enough to handle everyday
germs. We want to keep puppies and mother germ free.
I understand that each family is looking for something special
and different in a puppy. I plan my litters in advance by
talking to each family with their goals in mind. Once I know
what you are looking for in a puppy, I can give you information
on which puppy might suit your needs.
Puppies can be viewed once they’ve had their sets of shots.
Shots are given around 61/2 to 7 weeks of age.
As a breeder I spent a lot of time with the puppies getting to
know their personality. Individual
puppies will react differently one day to the next, testing is a
valuable tool. Puppy testing helps me choose the best individual
puppy for the right family.
Do you have Kids?
Are you an active person?
Are you looking for a calmer puppy?
Are you looking for male or female?
Are you looking for the
dominate puppy?
I grade each puppy when they get closer to
7-8 weeks. I match them up according to temperament and several
other factors.
I would not place a nervous puppy
with a family with children. If I do have a nervous puppy I will
place that puppy to the right home. It’s all about making sure
the puppy is happy and the family is happy.
Keep this in mind; Families will come to me saying “I want a
quite puppy not hyper”. All families raise their puppy
differently, a puppy can leave my home quite and often there can
be a difference between how a puppy is raised and how they turn
out.
Over the years of breeding I have had families come over
spending two to three hours undecided on a puppy as they are
overwhelmed. The family now is just making a decision on how
cute she or he is.
Be patient and put
the trust in the breeder hands.
Cradle Testing:
Picking up the puppy by cradling him in your arms.
Does he struggle? does he
try to mouth or bite? Does he lick my face? Is he calm?
Sound Sensitivity Test:
Dropping a key ring on the floor where the puppy is nearby. Does
he ignore it? Does he get startled by it? A good response for a
puppy is will he go investigate the key ring.
Touch Sensitivity Test:
Holding the puppy and wiggle his toes and squeeze gently on his
paws. Touching the pups ears, and face.
Pups that yelp at the
slightest pressure or bite my hands are not good for families
with kids. A good response is a pup that shows no response, a
puppy that does not mind to be touched.
