Typically Dames have one litter a year.  If they have two litters, they get a break. Our pups are home-loved, not puppy mill products. They are raised in our home. We do this because they are so cute and cuddly, but also, it makes them very sociable. Mother and puppies are in a room next to the bedroom for at least the first three weeks of life. Mother-to-be spends a week sleeping in the whelping area prior to the whelping day. We watch the Dame very closely, monitoring her temperature and watching for signs of the start of labor.

​

Puppy mills have mortality rates of 30%, our rate is less than 2%. But that is part of the difference between Mills and Family raised pups. We keep our Dames in tip-top condition, feed them the best foods, supplement their diets with vitamins, keep them current on shots and worming as well as pay attention to their hygiene. Our dogs and pups get regular Vet checkups. Our Vet greets our dogs by their names.

​

​We worm at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks and start the first shots at 6 and 9 weeks. We wean from the mother beginning the fourth week or later.  We guarantee our pups to be healthy when they go to their new homes at 9-10 weeks. We also guarantee against life-threatening genetic defects. All our Dames and Sires have a calm and sweet disposition (Not Hyper). We choose Males with similar qualities from our stock or breeders we know. We look for good confirmation, championship bloodlines, and above all, a calm character. We are very proud of our girls and would be happy to provide the phone numbers of past customers.
