Stella will be bred in the summer of 2010. Faith will be bred (pending clearances) in September of 2010.
If you would like more information on either of these breedings, please email me and I will be happy to give you the information.
My puppies are raised inside where, every day, they are introduced to all the sights and sounds of a normal household. I firmly believe this helps them to easily make the transition to their new homes. When we are home and the weather suitable, they are outside in the back yard, where there is a wading pool (in the summer), a tire and tunnel to play in. This outside time gives them more room to run and more places to explore and challenges for their motor skills. They are, of course, inside every night.
When purchasing a puppy from me, after you first contact me, I will send you an application form and pictures of the sire and dam and the puppies (if they are born already). After completing the form, you email it back to me and after I have read it (and all is ok), I will contact you. Visits with the puppies do not start until they are three or four weeks old. At that visit, you can play with Mom, but I do not allow handling of the puppies as they are too young at that point. The next visit is around 2 weeks later where you are welcome to pick them up and play with them to your heart’s content. My puppies usually then go home at 7-8 weeks old.
I send pictures of the puppies 2 or 3 times a week from birth (literally) through to when you take your puppy home. I make the decision as to which puppy goes to which home based on your home’s needs (childen, elderly parents, other animals etc.) and the puppy’s temperament. This helps ensure the right puppy goes to the right home. Each puppy goes home with a blanket and stuffed animal (with its littermates scent on it) to help ease its transition. I hear from my puppy owners that their puppies settle in very quickly with minimal time up at night. I have a puppy cam also, which I try to keep on all of the time—it really helps you get to know the babies.
I try very hard to ensure my “puppy people” are comfortable with discussing any concerns they have with me, from wanting to change their mind about buying a puppy through to calling me any time, day or night, with a potential problem or questions, without them having any concerns about how I will react.
Each time I raise a litter, I am happy and very satisfied that through careful and conscientious breeding plans, I have brought a happy, healthy well adjusted puppy and a loving new home together where they can enjoy and love each other for hopefully, the next 10+ years.
