Water Exposure!
Water exposure is crucial in puppy development because it helps them build confidence, coordination, and physical fitness. It also teaches them important life skills such as swimming and water safety, exposure to water at a young age can help prevent a fear of water from developing later in life, and is an important aspect of a puppy's socialization and physical development!
Despite their usual groomed appearance, my dogs aren't always in pretty fluffy haircuts! They love to just be dogs and play in the mud, dirt, dust, and dirty water, rolling around without a care in the world. Watching them run and get dirty is a reminder that they are happiest when they can let loose and embrace their natural instincts. It brings me joy to see them in their element, living in the moment and enjoying the simple pleasures of life! I wish we could all think like our dogs do!
So while they may not always look picture-perfect, their muddy adventures are a beautiful reminder, to let our dogs, simply be dogs! ❤️❤️

Sound exposure 🤩
As breeders, we push the importance of exposing our puppies to a variety of stimuli, including loud and unfamiliar noises in unfamiliar places. This exposure helps them build confidence and adaptability, preparing them for the unpredictable nature of the world around them. By introducing them to different environments and sounds at a young age, we can help them become well-adjusted and resilient adults. It may seem odd to some, but this intentional exposure is a crucial part of their early development and socialization, ensuring they grow into confident and well-rounded dogs. Here in Kentucky we have an abundance of people who run derby mowers and we all know how obnoxious the sounds can be, flair has not a care in the world. Not a shake not a tremble! 🤩
The face you can never be mad at 🤦🏼♀️😂
