About My program
About me:
I am 16 and I started when I was 14 which might scare people away but I can proudly say I've done extensive research and am aware of the responsibility. My goal is to have a program with well bred dogs so people don't have to question the quality of thier new friend. I also want the experience as stress-free as possible! I want people to know they can ask any question they have or FaceTime whenever, or even be allowed to come meet their puppy! I also want people to know they will have a breeder that will stay in contact for a lifetime :) I am motivated to do things right, and I also get help from my mom or other breeders! I got my first dog (Rosie) 3 years ago and she has truly blessed my life. I've always had a soft spot for dogs, but Rosie was my main reason to start breeding. I wanted to share the love I have for her through the puppies in my program!
Testing:
I genetic test all my dogs through Embark. This is important because we can make sure all of my dogs meet the requirement to be bred. It also insures us we are breeding them to the best matches as possible. Genetic testing allows us to know their traits and genetic health!
Curriculums + socialization:
Starting at just 3 days old I start curriculums! I follow the BAB that has weekly activities for the puppies. I am a family breeder, and there are 4 kids at home and lots of neighbors that love saying hi to the puppies! I also have 2 dogs of my own that love playing and socializing the pups!
ENS + ESI:
This is done starting at 3 days and ends at 16 days old. I hold them in different positions including upwards, sidewise, and upside down. I also take an ice pack and put it on the bottom of their feet for about 5-10 seconds. The next thing is I rub the bottom of their feet. I also have different scents they smell each day. Once they get old enough to hear (about 2 weeks) everyday they listen to different sounds such as thunder, vacuum, knocking, ect.
Sensory: At about 2 weeks I will start adding new objects into their area each week. This is anything between puppy toys to baby toys to even water toys! It can also be things they can walk on, climb, or even things to go through!
10 Hand Touch:
Throughout their 8 weeks with me I handle them, but at about 4 weeks I increase handling by touching and pulling (not hard enough to harm them) their legs, ears, paws, face, tail, ect. This is to help them with rough handling.
Why:
This helps them be in uncomfortable situations and allows them to handle it. It also puts them in as many situations possible and allows them to get as comfortable and good in stressful situations as possible. This is great with families with young kids because it helps the puppies deal with tougher handling and do great with it! It also helps them get comfortable and familiar with sounds and smells. Adding objects for sensory allows them to be less afraid of unfamiliar objects. It also allows them to face fears and be more curious when seeing something new!
Vaccines:
The puppies will get dewormed at home at 2,4 and 6 weeks. They will also receive their first vaccine and a vet health check at 6 weeks! All families will get a vet document proving what the puppy got!
