We believe in puppies being reared properly. We spend a lot of time, during the first 8 weeks, handling and exposing our puppies to different stimulation, new experiences, and people. Each and every puppy receives a lot of love, playtime and attention. Our puppies are very socialized. 

Some of the techniques we use to get our puppies ready to go to their new homes are with programs such as The Rule of Sevens..... Techniques such as this go a long way towards producing an outgoing, confident adult. 


By the time our pups are Seven weeks old they have been exposed to the following:


  • 7 Different surfaces, carpet, concrete, wood, vinyl, grass, dirt and newspaper
  • 7 Different types of objects, balls, fabric toys, squeaky toys, wood items, paper, cardboard and plastic jug
  • 7 Different locations, laundry room, living room, kitchen, backyard, crate, car and kennel
  • 7 Different challenges, climbed out of a box, climbed off a box, gone threw a doggy door, climbed up & down a step, climbed over an obstacle, climbed up a small slide and fetched a ball
  • Eaten from 7 different containers, metal, plastic, cardboard, paper plate, pie pan, glass and hand
