Fyreburst Spitz have been involved with exhibiting and breeding dogs since 1989, and we believe in breeding dogs responsibly and in only producing litters when there are ample, loving homes for them to go to. We believe in only breeding from strong and healthy parent dogs which display gentle, loving natures. We price our puppies accordingly and each puppy comes with the following and is available
to his or her new homes from 8 weeks of age. We use a renowned puppy raising technique called Puppy Culture, to ensure our puppies are raised to be the best they can be. https://shoppuppyculture.com/pages/puppy-culture-1 if you'd like to learn more about this. Additional information on Puppy Culture development is below. With your puppy, you will get:
* PUREBRED ANKC REGISTRATION PAPERS
* Thorough veterinary health check. This usually involves checking joints (hips, elbows etc.) for ease of movement and any defects, heart check, teeth, gums and eyes. In males assuring there are two te**es (both of them may not have ‘dropped’ at their first vet check).
* 4 weeks free health insurance from award winning pet insurance company Knose.
* Micro-Chipped. Implantation of micro-chip which is registered in to your name.
* First Vaccination (C3 protection against Parvovirus, Distemper & Hepatitis)
* Wormed with Drontal allwormer every fortnight from 2 weeks of age.
* Lifetime support and advice for your puppy.
* A feeding chart containing relevant information on feeding your puppy up to 18 months of age and longer (puppies are raised on Super Premium diet), training, toys, bedding and the like.
* Puppy Pack. May contain a number of things depending on what I have at the time. Ranging from toys, bling leads, food trial packs, grooming equipment, puppy shampoo, pamphlets and so much more.
* A small crate which your puppy has been trained to sleep in for short periods.
* A matching piece of drybed, cut from the whelping box drybedding which smells like their mother/litter to help them acclimatise to their new home.
* Puppies are hand raised. Once our puppies reach a certain age we spend hours with them daily. Socialising them with older dogs, young children and old. They’ve had a lot of time with their mother and their older pack mates who teach them plenty. A great deal of hands on time, play time, love and cuddles to assure confident, self-assured, happy and healthy puppies. Our price per puppy (regardless of s*x, colour or for show/pet) is $3000. Further booster vaccinations (C3/4/5) will be required to fully protect your puppy at 12 weeks and 16 weeks approx. Heartworm protection is required for puppies from 12 weeks of age. Our dogs all have DogsQLD registration papers - do not be duped into paying top dollar for a bottom shelf puppy - these puppies are from a quality registered breeder. Prices are not negotiable and do not include any transport fees which are at the expense of the buyer. A deposit of $1500 is required to secure a puppy. THE PUPPY CULTURE PROGRAM
What is Puppy Culture? Puppy Culture is a program developed by Jane Killion, professional dog trainer and breeder. It is a comprehensive, organized program for breeders to follow during the first weeks of a puppy’s life. The first 12 weeks of a puppy’s life are incredibly important. This is an almost magical time when a breeder has the power to change the outcome of a puppy’s life by what we choose to teach him. By doing just the right things at just the right time, we can give your puppy the best start possible. Prenatal Period:
Making sure that your puppy’s genetic material is excellent is only the beginning. The physical and emotional health of the mother will affect the health of her puppies. Since research has shown that puppies born to mothers that receive prenatal massage are more docile and enjoy being touched, we spoil our mothers with lots of affection and belly massages. A puppy’s predisposition to form deep and meaningful relationships begins even before they are born. Neonatal Period: 0-14 days
Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) begins on day 3 and continues through day 16. Research shows that tiny struggles and stresses in appropriate small doses are actually good for puppies and will help them grow into strong, healthy well-adjusted adults. Benefits include greater tolerance to stress, greater resistance to disease, faster adrenal system, stronger heart rate and stronger heartbeat. This is a gift that a breeder can only give their puppies once during the window of 3-16 days. Transitional Period: 14-21 days
Behavioral markers are used to identify the beginning and end of each developmental period because every puppy is different and these timelines are simply guidelines. The transitional period begins when the puppy’s eyes open and ends when they first startle upon hearing sounds. Critical Socialization Period: 3-12 weeks
Most people think of socialization as exposing their puppies to as many new experiences as possible while the puppy is young. While this is part of the process, it’s not enough. Our goal is to raise dogs that have the emotional intelligence to connect with you. Emotional intelligence can be taught to young puppies and one of the goals of the Puppy Culture Program is to teach breeders how to do this. There are 7 key things that will nurture the emotional intelligence of a puppy.
1: Communication – giving a puppy his own voice (Communication Trinity – (power up clicker, box game, manding), attention/distraction protocols)
2: Emotional stability – the ability to recover easily from fear as well as stress (startle recovery, barrier challenges, Volhard Aptitude Test at day 49))
3: Habituation – familiarity with the maximum number of things (Puppy Parties, sound protocols, habituation soundtracks and noises, meeting different people, dogs, other animals)
4: Enrichment – the view that novelty and challenges are opportunities for enrichment rather than things to be feared or avoided (novelty items, Adventure Box, off premises socialization)
5: Health – physical wellness and motor skills that will allow the puppy to develop in a neurologically and physically sound way (daily weight checks, grooming, vaccinations, deworming, proper nutrition, vet health checks)
6: Skills – learned behaviors which allow him to function in human society (recall, manding, simple commands, litterbox training, crate training, leash walking, resource guarding, bite inhibition)
7: Love – the desire to seek out the company of both dogs and humans as emotionally positive experiences (shaping emotional responses, Happy and Calm CER (Conditioned Emotional Responses),daily cuddles with humans and mom). This is definitely an incredible amount of work, but it is 100% ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT!!!!!! When you adopt your puppy, you will be just as thankful as we are for this program!
