And so, let the snuggles and treats begin!
*** Update March/April 2024 ***
Mojo & Jessie are parents of a beautiful female puppy. On this separate page 'A litter' you can find pictures and latest updates with mom and her puppy.
* For Fall/Winter 2024 we have a litter planned with Jane * If you are interested please fill in the questionnaire if you haven't done already.
You can provide me information about yourself by filling out our questionnaire. When I like what I read and I have a confirmed pregnancy I will email you. You can then let me know if you are still interested in purchasing a puppy from me and we then will proceed from there.

Bringing any dog or puppy into your home, takes time, and you need to prepare yourself, home and life for the changes it will bring.
Raising a puppy: the first 8 weeks
I am committed to give the puppies I breed the best start of life they possible can get.
This starts with breeding only with healthy parents. And make sure mom gets all additional nutrition and supplements necessary for the pregnancy, that the whelping environment is clean and safe. That mom experiences as little stress as possible during pregnancy, whelping and taking care of the pups.

Socialization
When the puppies are born we start with socializing the puppies right away. First through touch (ENS) and smell (ESI). When they are around three weeks of age, eyes and ears are open by then, we start bringing in more and more stimuli like: the other dogs and cats (week 2/3), loud noises (week 3), first toys (week 3), obstacles like a tunnel (week 4), hygiene (week 4), children (week 5) get used to different surfaces, different rooms in the house (week 5), car rides (week 6), visitors (week 4), visit vet (week 6), crate training (week 6), first time outside (week 6/7), Volhard puppy test (week 7).
Part of the socialization will be the weekend puppy visits once the puppies are about 4 weeks old. We invite you to come and visit with the puppies as often as possible, and also with the older dogs and with us.

We also train the puppies some basic cues before they go home, like sit, touch, look and calm leash walking. But because our pups leave the litter when around 8 weeks old they won’t be perfect at it:-)
It is up to you to make sure that these precious puppies learn (force free) every day so that they are able to strive in life. They deserve it!
