Litters

We believe in breeding our best individuals, not all individuals. We breed select bitches who have earned titles, are structurally sound, have passed all health tests recommended by our national breed club (PRA, OFA Hips, OFA Thyroid), and have outstanding traits and features we are looking to continue in the breed.

Generally, we space our litters 18 months apart. We keep a waiting list for puppies. Occasionally we place adult retired show dogs.

How we raise our litters

All of our puppies are raised in our home. Our goal is to raise confident, biddable dogs that can interact with the world and adapt to new situations. In these early crucial weeks we are handling and socializing each puppy to develop their minds and connection with people.

Mom and litter have their own whelping room initially, and then we move puppies into the main part of the house.. 

We make sure our puppies hear all the everyday sounds of a house–pans in the kitchen, vacuum cleaners, television. They get used to different surfaces and textures–sherpa mats, tile, wood, grass, rock. Toys and chew material are rotated frequently so puppies interact with hard, soft, squeaky, and many colored items. We touch every part of every puppy every day and do routine grooming, nails, electric clipper, washing ears, and being on a grooming table. They see our older dogs, children, and go outside where they interact with what nature has to offer, butterflies, apples, flowers, insects, leaves, snow. We use a “potty box” so puppies learn not to soil where they sleep, get them used to crates, and they have several car trips.

This early socialization means that puppies transition easily to new homes, and new owners if they keep building on this work with more socialization and training have a great head start towards a trained dog.
