We take pride in giving our puppies the best start in life. Our Moms nurse their pups from birth until 4 weeks of age. If our Puppies required supplemental feedings they'd receive goats milk; and once they transition to solid food, we use Midwest Legacy Beef food. Along with that, we include NuVet Plus & NuJoint Plus Supplements and our water comes from the Royal Berkey Gravity-Fed water filter system to support their health and vitality.
By 8 weeks old our puppies receive their first round of DAPPV vaccinations, a Fi-Nano Chip, and undergo thorough health screenings performed by Dr. Bodolosky of The Animal Hospital of Sullivan County in Ferndale NY (845) 292-6711. Additionally, they are dewormed every two weeks, ensuring their well-being and keeping them on the path to optimal health.
Socialization is key to raising a well-rounded and confident companion. Our puppies are exposed to various aspects of life, including interaction with humans, children, cats, and other dogs. From an early age, they learn to adapt and thrive in different environments, becoming social butterflies ready to embrace the world around them.
We believe in starting house training early to set your puppy up for success. Potty training begins at just 3 weeks of age, and by the time they transition from the whelping box to our living room at 3-4 weeks, they are already on their way to understanding the basics. We teach them important boundaries, such as not chewing on wires or furniture, and they naturally learn how to be well-behaved house pups.
Introducing your puppy to a crate can be a positive experience when done correctly. We gradually introduce the pups to crates and provide them with teething treats during crate time, ensuring they associate the crate with comfort and security. Crates can be a great tool for downtime, as long as your puppy doesn't view it as a punishment.
We believe in a holistic approach to puppy development. Our enrichment methods include teaching basic commands like stay and sit, redirecting chewing behaviors to appropriate toys, and instilling good manners and obedience. We expose our puppies to various sounds and stimuli, helping to desensitize them and prevent negative responses. Early neurological stimulation, human contact from birth, and daily training basics create a solid foundation for their lifelong learning.
