About Our Puppies

All of our puppies are reared indoors, they are born in the living room at the heart of the home. Mum is free to spend as little or as much time as she wishes with her pups.

At two weeks of age the puppies receive their first worming treatment with Drontal. I have also put different coloured ribbon on them so that I can clearly see how each puppy is developing. Now is the time that their eyes will start to open.

At three weeks old the puppies become aware of their surroundings and will also naturally

not want to soil their bed, it is important that they are given the opportunity to be clean,

this is the first stage of house training, puppies who are not given this opportunity will

not learn to be clean.

At this stage they also start to have their first solid food, I only feed

natural raw meat and plain biscuit, their first food is raw minced steak.

As they get older they will be introduced to sardines in oil, fresh raw

fish, meaty rib bones and raw chicken wings.

At this young age puppies spend most of their time sleeping but I

ensure that they have a bed and a seperate area with plenty of clean newspaper, they will

then come off the bed to toilet on the paper. Over the following week they become more active and at 4wks they often learn to use a litter tray for their toilet duties.

Our puppies then move into the kitchen into their 'Crufts Freedom Puppy Pen'

they have a bed area, a carpeted area and then the toilet area, our Miniature puppies

have litter trays which they have already learnt to use. As they become more

adventurous the door will be left open during the day so that they can explore their

surroundings at their own pace, they will interact with our other dogs and our cats.

They have listened to the television, hoover, washing machine, tumble dryer and

the radio from 21days when they first started to hear, this will all serve to improve

their confidence and individual characters.

We start to have prospective new puppy owners visit from 5~6 wks of age

The rearing of puppies is extremely rewarding but also involves a lot of hard work, how a puppy

is reared is very important for his development as an adult dog, what he learns in his first 16wks

he will never forget. For a full explanation please visit our other website and read all about

  'The Five Critical Stages Of Development'

  using the litter tray.

No-one leaves our home with just a puppy, Our puppies will be reared indoors, well socialised, regularly wormed with Drontal, micro-chipped, receive their first vaccination, have full ASD pedigree papers, you will receive an extensive puppy pack and a new copy of 'The Perfect Puppy' by Gwen Bailey.

You will be given a lifetime of support, you will be asked to sign a contract to agree to contact us if your circumstances change and you are no longer able to keep your dog, we will always take him back.

We are very particular about where our puppies go, it is very important to us to choose the right people, as it should be to you where you get your puppy from, vetting is a part of this relationship.
