Here’s an AKC article that will give you good basic guidelines to follow when discussing the timing of spaying or neutering your dogs with your Vet.

Often, the spay and neuter take place at a very young age for pets. However, studies have shown that this may not be the best age.

Pickup day went off without a hitch until we took the show on the road. Lol. At the end of the day our pups are on their way to their new homes and everyone is happy! Thank you to everyone we had the pleasure of meeting today and if you’re one of the lucky new owners be sure to post a pic of your new family member here on our page and share with their litter mates! 🐶 🐶 🐶 🐶 🐶 🐶

Today, for the first time, we administered the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test to our pups. The test was fun to do and it was very interesting to see in what areas they did similarly and what areas they differed. Here is a link to some information about the testing and what makes it a potentially valuable tool for both breeders and new owners.

Tomorrow we will begin the ENS training for these young pups. If you’re unfamiliar with the process or it’s benefits, here’s a good article from the AKC to help explain why we choose to do it with every litter.

Some breeders conduct the Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) as puppy socialization exercises, once daily from the third to the 16th days.

Some interesting reading on your dogs food and some thoughts for those into grain-free diets.
