Services We Provide
Our work well before the pups are born. We make sure both
parents receive pre-breeding health checks, receiving regular
veterinary care, current vaccinations and testing and treatment
for any parasites. Ongoing veterinary care, regular exercise and
good nutrition ensure continued health of the parents and
subsequently the puppies.

Starting at 3-days old, we exposes the puppies to the Bio
Sensor program. The five benefits of this program are: 1)
Improved cardio vascular performance (heart rate), 2) Stronger
heart beats, 3) Stronger adrenal glands, 4) More tolerance to
stress and 5) Greater resistance to disease.  The Bio Sensor
program is designed using five exercises to stimulate the
neurological system. Each workout involves handling the
puppies once each day beginning at the third day of life and
lasts until the sixteenth day. It is believed that because this
interval of time is a period of rapid neurological growth and
development, and therefore is of great importance to the puppy.
The workouts require handling pups one at a time while
performing a series of five exercises.
Other studies in mice and rats showed that removing them from
their nest for three minutes each day during the first five to ten
days of life causes body temperatures to fall below normal.  
This mild form of stress is sufficient to stimulate hormonal,
adrenal and pituitary systems. The Bio Sensor program is
designed to give the puppy early neurological stimulation in
order to give the dog a superior advantage.  When tested later
as adults, these same animals were better able to withstand
stress than littermates who were not exposed to the same early
stress exercises. As adults, they responded to stress in “a
graded” fashion, while their non-stressed littermates
responded in an “all or nothing way.” When tested for
differences in health and disease, the stressed animals were
found to be more resistant to certain forms of cancer and
infectious diseases. The Bio Sensor program is in addition to
the pups being socialized. The critical times for a pup to be
socialized is between four and sixteen weeks of age.

When pups are 2-3 days old, they take their first trip to the vet for
tail docking, dewclaw removal, weight recording and overall
checkups. Back home pups stay with their mama where she
keeps busy cleaning her babies, keeping them warm, and
nursing.

Starting at 2 weeks of age, we begin handling and cuddling the
pups to begin their socialization with humans. The pups are
lightly petted and groomed and their nails are clipped.

At approximately 4 weeks old the pups will get introduced to
softened puppy food to begin the weaning process. A blank gun
is shot at a great distance from the pups as they are being
nursed from their mom. This technique is non-stressful to the
pups and has brought excellent results in raising well-rounded
dogs adapting to new environments, situations and sounds.

At about 5 weeks of age, the puppies naturally "play" at retrieving
objects, proudly walking around with small bird wings in their
mouth. The blank gun is still being shot on a daily basis
gradually moving closer to them. Puppies are introduced to
pheasant feathers on the end of a fishing pole and/or live quail.
Some puppies at 5 weeks old are already sight pointing.

At 6 weeks old the pups make another trip to the veterinarian for
their first vaccinations. A licensed vet examines each pup. Pups
will also be de-wormed at this time. By now the puppies have
been totally weaned from mama and are fed puppy food.

Between 7-8 weeks of age pups are going to their new homes.
