The basis of my breeding program first and foremost is to breed for health, temperament and genetic soundness. I research pedigrees extensively. I want to know as much as possible about family history from as many dogs in the pedigree as possible. My puppies are raised in the house learning to be a member of the family. I introduce them to as many new sights and sounds possible. I spend a lot time of time with the puppies to get to know each one of them. The puppies go to their new homes at 8 weeks old with a copy their parents health history, reading material on house breaking, training etc., as well as information for your vet regarding worming and vaccine dates.
