How we raise our litters:
From birth to 3 - 3 1/2 weeks puppies are raised with mom in a climate controlled whelping area. While here they will be given "ENS". This environment is quiet, calm and safe. They receive handling many times daily.
At 3 - 3 1/2 weeks pups are moved to a 'wholesome outdoor environment'. Their living quarters are a 14' x 14' enclosure with a roof and access to a large climate controlled dog condo, if they choose to use it! Besides ongoing socialization with people & children, they are introduced to 'outdoor noises' such as tractors, mowers, dogs barking, gun shots, etc.
Around 5 weeks of age they are taken on daily rides in a 'Kawasaki Mule' to our field to experience the many things that nature has to offer: Romping through tall grass, running through the field pond, smells and sights that bring out the curiosity of 'puppies' enhancing their development. Around this time they will also be introuduced to birds.
The above insures that our puppies are well socialized & acclimated to both indoor & outdoor environments so that they can easily adjust to their 'New Homes'.
