What sets our dogs apart?

Our dogs are very loved and well cared for. They are up to date on vaccines, heart guard medication, and receive enhanced nutrition while pregnant and nursing. Lila and Lucy love to come on trips and vacations. They also enjoy “pup cups” from local coffee shops.

The dog has a collar with a purple tag. In the background, there are windows with quilted curtains, a gray chair, and some rolled towels on a gray ottoman.

Our puppies are raised in our living room. Yes, our living room. This allows our puppies to get used to a vast variety of sights and sounds from everyday family life. The puppies get lots of snuggles and playtime from adults, teens and kids. Doing this ensures our puppies easily adapt to the world around them.

ENS or Early Neurological Stimulation consists of five handling exercises that we preform on new puppies between days 3-16 of life. The importance of these exercises is to help improve how your puppy problem solves, handles stress, and boosts their overall health.

ESI or Early Scent Integration is the practice of exposing the puppy to new scents between days 3-16 of life. Some of the scents we include in training are; rosemary, tennis ball fabric, soil, chicken feathers, pine needles, guinea pig hair and cloves. Exposing puppies early in life to new scents helps promote a healthy cognition and olfactory system.

All our puppies are vet checked and have had their dewclaws removed. Each puppy receives deworming medication and their first round of vaccines which include distemper, parvovirus, parainfluenza, and adenovirus types 1 and 2.
