Puppy Raising Protocol

• I firmly believe in and aim to follow the Puppy Culture program while raising my puppies. The guidelines for this program have a multitude of benefits for growing puppies, including early exposure to an abundance of different sights, smells and sounds; socialization with people and children of many different ages and backgrounds; behaving appropriately when meeting strange dogs; promoting confidence with strange objects and equipment from a young age; early start to leash breaking, potty training, crate training and more!
• My puppies will be raised in the living room which is the center of my house; they will be well adjusted to living indoors with other dogs, cats, and seeing many visitors come and go. 
• Puppies will be dewormed at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks of age; first vaccines will be given at 6 weeks. 
• Puppies will be BAER Hearing tested
• Puppies will be Herding Instinct tested as well as Volhard Temperament tested before deciding which puppies are being placed with which families. 
• Puppies will be Microchipped with my contact information and new owners' contact information on file before leaving. ​
