About the rearing and development of our puppies

As breeders, we strive to raise our puppies with the utmost care & to the very best of our abilities, in order to maximize their potential and ensure their happiness, health & safety.

Puppies are raised in our home where we strive to provide proper socialization with people, dogs and cats, as well as exposure to a variety of sights, sounds and surfaces. A sound, happy, healthy puppy is what we aim to produce and raise.

In order to maximize potential and coping skills, we perform the
"Bio-sensor" exercises ( also known as the "Super Dog" program ) with our newborn pups. This method was originally created to help puppies to better handle stress, learn more quickly and efficiently, develop a greater resistance to disease as well as improved cardiovascular performance. Following this early neurological stimulation, we move into the socialization phase.

From birth on, we observe, handle and take notes on our puppies' growth and development. This helps us to evaluate their temperaments and provides us with important information to help develop the future of our breeding program.

All puppies are microchipped before leaving for their new homes. Microchips are completely safe and a wonderful tool in tracing a lost puppy back to his owner and breeder.

We have invested a lot of time, work, planning and money to bring these puppies into the world. This is why breeders feel a serious responsability to send their puppies into the best homes possible and we do work dilligently to achieve this. For this reason, puppies are sold with a written contract, clearly outlining our obligations to you, and your obligations to the Breeder and your precious puppy. This also explains the puppy application questionnaire we require you to fill out, and the questions we ask you before making a decision about the placement of a puppy.

On a final note, when searching for a puppy, it is important for potential purchasers to realize that a good match in temperament and a puppy from healthy lines, good structure and balance, is more important than gender and color. Therefore, when placing a puppy, color and gender are certainly a consideration, but definitely not the only criteria to consider.
