Puppies are born and spend their first two weeks nursing, sleeping, and growing rapidly. We begin Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) at day 3.
Eyes and ears open. Puppies begin to walk, play, and interact with their littermates. We introduce gentle handling and new textures.
Puppies move to our socialization area and are exposed to household sounds, children, other dogs, and novel experiences daily.
Temperament testing and evaluation. We match each puppy to their ideal family based on personality, energy level, and lifestyle.
Puppies are cleared by our veterinarian, receive their first vaccines, and go home to their forever families with full documentation.
