All puppies are born and raised in the house until 4 weeks of age and are handled daily by both children and adults and are exposed to the sights and sounds of everyday living. At 4-5 weeks of age they are moved to a larger area where they have access to a large play yard, and their handling and socialization continues daily. They are introduced to other dogs, cats and a whole lot of children (neighbourhood tots and classmates of our sons).
Puppies go to their new homes at 8 weeks of age and have had their first vaccine and de-worming. Puppies go home with a puppy pack containing copies of the parents health certifications, puppies pedigree, microchip information, vaccine record, copy of the health guarantee and sales contract, and the AKC registration application. All pups are sold on AKC limited registration.
All puppies are microchipped before they leave. We strongly believe in taking lifelong responsibility for the puppies we produce. This provides a lifetime identification for the animal and assures a safe return home so that they do not end up in a shelter or “rescue” system and can always be tracked back to us.
