Our Commitment

 

Our Commitment to you and our dogs:

All of our breeding dogs live in a loving forever home, not a kennel. Our breeding dogs live in Guardian Homes where they receive individualized love and attention during their breeding careers. When the dog is retired from breeding the dog remains in its Guardian Home and ownership is turned over to the Guardians at the time of spay or neuter.

All of our breeding dogs will be of good health and temperament.

All of our breeding dogs and puppies receive high-quality food, water, and routine medical care and are housed in a clean and loving environment indoors.

All of our breeding dogs will be health tested according to the recommendations and guidelines of the ALAA  Gold Paw standards.

 

Both parents will have a minimum of:

  • Hip Clearance by Penn Hip, OFA, or Dr. Wallace
  • OFA Elbow Clearance
  • Eye exam by an Opthomologist certified by CERF
  • PRA testing or cleared via parentage
  • vWD
  • Exercise-Induced Collapse
  • Improper Coat
  • Degenerative Myelopathy
  • Hereditary Nasal Parakeratosis
  • Retinal Dysplasia

 

All of our puppies are born and raised in our home with loving care. We take the time with each puppy from day 3-16 after birth to expose them to early neurological stimulation through using the Bio Sensor Method. This has been found to enhance the puppy’s trainability and its ability to bounce back from negative stressors.

Our puppies are living among the usual hustle and bustle of a busy family home.  They are given undivided love and attention by our whole family! When age and weather appropriate we introduce them to an outside area where they get to explore and become accustomed to the noises and smells of the outside world.
