ABOUT
MY PUPPIES
I am a small in-home breeder. I hope to have my first puppy in the show
ring in
2010. I breed first and foremost to provide a friendly, genetically
sound, pet. I
am constantly striving to improve the quality of my puppies by breeding
to
produce dogs with exceptional confirmation, genetic quality and
superior
Champion bloodlines.
All my dogs and puppies are raised
inside with free access to a large fenced
yard. My dogs are never penned in wire cages! When a dog is
due to
deliver her puppies she is placed in a playpen in my bedroom, where she
can
have privacy and a quite place to rest. At 3 weeks of age my puppies go
for their first vet check and initial worm
treatment. The worm treatments are repeated every 3 weeks until the
puppy is 16
weeks of age, at that time they are placed on a monthly worm
preventative
schedule. I begin housebreaking them on potty training pads between 4
and 5 weeks of age.
I do not wean until 10 weeks of age. With the smaller puppies I do not
wean
until 12 weeks of age. Vaccines are given at the discretion of my vet,
usually they begin at 7 weeks
of age. The vaccine is a preventative against canine distemper,
parainfluenza,
paravovirus and adenovirus Type 2. Leptospirosis and corona
virus are not
included in the 5-way vaccine used by my vet. I
am always happy to
provide references with phone numbers from recent and past buyers,
and the office phone number to my vet.
