Good evening everyone! Here is a little more information regarding the litter.
Puppies will go home at 8 weeks of age, no sooner. They will be 8 weeks of age January 18, 2025.
They will be vet checked at the Clarion Animal Hospital at 6 weeks of age. This is to check for things such as a heart murmur and that they are growing appropriately. No vaccine will be given as they are too young to receive any immunizations at this age. The pups will be vet checked again along with receiving the DHPP vaccine and a stool sample check at 8 weeks of age. The pups will be given a health certificate and any abnormalities will be noted. I want to have full disclosure with all new owners.
They will be dewormed at 2,4,6,8 weeks of age.
The pups will receive ENS (early neurological stimulation) daily between days 3-16. ENS is thought to help puppies develop coping mechanisms and improve their stress responses later in life. It can also help improve the growth and development of a puppy's immune system and cardiovascular system.
The pups will NOT have their dew claws removed. It is against AAHA standard to remove these now, and I whole heartedly agree with that.
The dad is AKC registered with champion bloodlines but mom is ACA registered. The parents are raised in home as family dogs, and will always be seen as family dogs versus just "breeding dogs". They have never spent any time in an outside kennel and are very much spoiled by all members of our house. They have always been kept on a high quality diet (between Royal Canin and Purina Pro plan). Lennox will only be bred once a year. I do not agree with back-to-back breedings. I want Lennox to be a family dog first, and a momma second.
I also want to open my home for visitation to the pups once they reach 6 weeks. That way the potential owners can see the parents as well as make sure they are choosing the right puppy for them. The visit is optional, but highly encouraged. I am located in Rimersburg, PA.
When you purchase a puppy you'll not only get the best lap dog and family dog, you'll also get:
- 6 month health guarantee
- Starter bag of puppy food. I have all intentions of the puppy food being Pro Plan as long as all of the puppies are tolerating it
- Lifetime support from me. I'm a Certified Vet Tech with over 11 years experience but this is my first time breeding. So while I may not have ALL of the answers right away, I will try my best to help out and advise as best as possible.
- A goodie bag with surprises that I'm going to create over these next few weeks
Please feel free to reach out for any questions. So far, there are 5 pups available. We will not be having another litter for another year so if you feel like you would want one sooner rather than later, please send a message. Thank you all!
