“The amount of time that Chevonne and her family put into their puppies will never be beaten. We picked up our Labrador 5 days ago, she is so calm and confident and you can really tell she’s been handled by children! At 8 weeks old she’s fully toilet trained and has settled in perfectly. 100% recommend 🐾 🥰”

“Hi Chevonne,
Hope all is well, Murphy has settled in nicely, she's doing really great with potty training letting us know when she needs to go out. We're sleeping in the crate at night with a couple of get ups to go to the toilet and napping in her bed during the day.
We've been out a few times to the shops and sitting on benches about the place, she has a really great temperament, curious but not need to interact with everything ♥️”

During our last week with our Labrador Retriever puppies our focus is on making their transition into their new homes as smooth for them as possible ✨

Today is day one of crate training for them

We always start with very short amounts of time in their crates with something yummy to distract them and then let them out before they get upset, gradually building up to overnight a few days before they leave ⭐️

The aim of crate training is to provide a safe, comfortable space for them to relax, sleep, or retreat to when they need downtime

Crates are beneficial for sleep, travel, recovery after surgery, unsupervised time, and new environments as well as coming in super handy for toilet training ☺️

You dont HAVE to use a crate but it is always beneficial to make sure your dog is comfortable in a crate just incase you need to use it!

Our last weekend with these beauties ❤️

What an absolute joy they have been ☺️

These puppies all have amazing homes to go to 💖

If you are interested in a Labrador Retriever puppy we will hopefully have another litter sired by Ryder due in 6 weeks time ✨

Toilet training starts now 😊

Our Labrador Retriever puppies are now three weeks old and starting to toddle around

At this stage they begin to make an effort to move away from their bed and go to the toilet on their own without stimulation from mum

It is so important that they have the opportunity to leave their bed to go which is why we don’t use beds with sides after the first few weeks of life

It is also very important that the bed is always kept clean as any wee or poo smells will encourage them to carry on going there, so we wash and change bedding at least once a day - even at this young age

We use Astro turf outside of the bed area so the puppies begin to associate the texture of grass with going to the toilet

The toilet area will gradually get smaller over the coming weeks and eventually removed from the pen once we manage to get them outside regularly enough

This makes things so much easier for us as breeders to keep them clean once they get bigger and also makes things a lot easier for their new families once they leave

This in turn means that the puppies transition to their new home is smoother and the first few weeks of their new life can be as stress free and enjoyable as possible ♥️

What is Early Neurological Stimulation and why do we do it?

Early neurological stimulation (ENS) is a series of gentle exercises developed by the US military and nicknamed the ‘Super Dog Programme’ 🦸

We perform these exercises daily from day 3 - 16, a period believed to be a time of rapid neurological growth and development

There are five main benefits to this early stimulation

• Improved cardio vascular performance (heart rate)
• Stronger heart beats
• Stronger adrenal glands
• More tolerance to stress
• Greater resistance to disease

In tests of learning, stimulated pups were found to be more active and were more exploratory than their non- stimulated littermates over which they were dominant in competitive situations

We have also found since carrying out these exercises that our puppies are far more relaxed when being handled, and often like to fall asleep on their backs 😆

Later on we’ve found them easier to toilet train and eager to make eye contact with us

It’s a win for everyone ☺️♥️

I’m going to say something controversial but hear me out …

We don’t mind our puppies being Christmas presents! 🎁

We make sure every buyer is fully committed to their puppy regardless of the time of year

However… We understand that circumstances can change for anybody, at any time, so our contracts give every puppy we breed a guarentee of a home here at any stage in their life if they ever need to be returned.

Many families cannot afford to spend thousands on a quality puppy bred by decent breeders as well as Christmas presents for their whole family, especially if the puppy they have been waiting for is ready in December!

Should they buy a cheaper puppy from a puppy farm - so they can still buy presents for under the tree… or suprise their family with the puppy they have been waiting & preparing for all year 🎁💖

I know what Ild rather 🥰🐶🎄
