How We Raise Our Puppies
Prepping our puppies for their forever homes is our top priority! Therefore, the care we take in breeding to create the best puppies is matched by the thorough socialization we give them throughout the developmental first eight weeks of life.
2 Days - 2 Weeks Old
Puppies find comfort in an in-home puppy nursery with constant supervision and care. Each puppy is weighed in the morning to ensure proper growth. At 3-5 days puppies are vet checked and docked. At this stage they are growing quickly and bonding with each other and their mom.
2 - 4 Weeks Old
Eyes and ears are now open so socialization starts. They begin asking for attention and find their voice. They also began to become more active and playful. We keep the nails short and introduce noise stimulation. Lastly, we touch and handle their ears, paws, and mouths to continue desensitizing them.
4 - 6 Weeks Old
The excitement begins with learning to play with toys, chasing each other around, and receiving lots of hands-on socialization. The puppies are beginning to adventure into the world of soft food and water. During these weeks, the puppies start the potty training process. This ultimately helps our clients get a head start on house training by the time they head to their forever homes.
6 - 8 Weeks Old
At this stage, we are continuing to work with the puppies to expose them to more toys and socialization. We start to introduce simple training commands such as: sit, to come when called etc. to prepare for their forever homes.
