HOW WE RAISE OUR PUPPIES
Our puppies are born in one of our sitting rooms or our bedroom where mum and babies have quiet and privacy for the first three weeks - we are in constant attendance day and night.
We are at home and on hand constantly for our puppies and follow the Puppy Culture puppy rearing programme. The puppies start with early neurological stimulation for the first three weeks.
The puppies are then moved to our main lounge in to a dedicated playpen where they experience all the hustle and bustle of our life with the other dogs and lots of noise and visitors! They get acclimatized to our kitchen and laundry room, and are taken out daily to their enrichment kindergarten – winter or summer. Our puppies have lots of toys and stimulation, plus individual training and of course copious kisses and cuddles!
When we have a litter our time is dedicated to the puppies welfare, needs, socialization and provision of early experiences that the puppies require to develop into confident happy dogs. All puppies are observed and evaluated very carefully in order to assess their suitability for the lifestyle of potential owners.
A DEDICATED WHATS APP GROUP IS SET UP SO WE CAN GIVE PUPDATES AND VIDEOS ETC AS THE PUPPIES ARE GROWING.
