Why Choose Us?
Early Development
To ensure you bring home a well rounded puppy, we are dedicated in making sure our puppies live in an enriched environment. It's important for puppies to get a great start in their life, especially when the first 8 weeks are critical learning periods in their development. A puppy raised in an enriched environment correlates to positive behavior traits such as, confidence, fast learning, faster recovery time. We will break down how we prepare prenatal care, post natal care/puppy curriculum, and why these are important.
Before Prenatal Care
Breeding dogs are carefully selected for their structure, and healthy lineage, coat and color comes after
Selected dogs must then pass our health standard by going through a DNA health test through Embark
Genetically healthy dogs will then be raised with love and care in our home, or with a Guardian Family
OFA Health Testing: Hips & Elbows, Patella's, CAER, and Ophthalmology
When Program dogs are of breeding age, the pairing is carefully selected based on the above proceedings
