| It is our goal as a breeder to produce puppies who are sound in both body and mind, while maintaining the outstanding temperament each of their respective breeds are so well known for. We have carefully chosen each of our Purebred Parents to ensure they are from quality, healthy lines with consistent beauty. We have the parents of every puppy on the premises. We stand behind every puppy we raise and expect to be a resource to their new owner, both before and after the puppy goes to it's new home. Whether your experience with the dogs goes back many years, or if this is your first puppy, we are glad to help you with any questions you might have. Thankfully, our careful breeding produces healthy, well adjusted puppies. However, we offer a one year written health warranty on each of our puppies to ensure their new owner knows how serious we are about standing behind our breeding. |
"A dog should be a pleasure to all and a nuisance to none," Teach your puppy the following
these commands a few times a day in very short play training sessions.
Give:
To avoid unwanted aggression and guarding behavior later in life, train your dog to give you his
prized possessions and even his food. The best way is to offer an exchange. Say "Give" and offer
your dog a treat for his toy. The food offering will inspire most dogs to release the toy without
struggle. Praise him heartily. Then give the toy back to him. Make it a fun game that he wins most
of the time.
Get it / Leave it (Don't Touch):
Dogs who know the command "Leave it" will let things alone when asked. To make learning fun,
play a game with your pup. Start the exercise with the dog sitting in front of you on a leash. With a
handful of treats, offer him one at a time, saying, "Get it!" After two or three "Get its", offer him a
treat, as usual, but this time say, "Leave it!" Of course he is going to go for it anyway because he
doesn't know any better. When the puppy tries to grab the treat, give him a tiny bop on the nose
with the same hand that offered him the treat, and repeat, "Leave it". As soon as the dog leaves
the treat alone, praise him, saying, "Good Leave it!", then say, "OK. Get it!" and give it to him.
Repeat the sequence four or five times in a row, saying "Get it" much more often than you say
"Leave it." The puppy will think this is great fun and will probably catch on very quickly, learning to
leave the treat alone when you say "Leave it".
Off:
No matter what they say, most people do not like it when a dog jumps all over them. Jumping up
can even be dangerous when a dog jumps on a small child. The simplest and safest way to teach
a puppy not to jump up is to back up when you see the pup coming and say "Off!" Reward and
praise the puppy once all its feet are on the ground. You can also tell the dog to "Sit" so he learns
something positive to do when greeting strangers. When the puppy is older, more severe
measures can be used if necessary.
One warning: If you allow your dog to jump all over you, he may have trouble understanding why
you don't allow him to jump all over everyone else. Try to be consistent!
In Your Kennel:
A dog's kennel should be his safe place, his den, his refuge. Your dog can learn to go willingly
into his kennel on command. Tantalize your puppy with a treat or toy, then put it into the kennel
and say "Kennel" or "Go to bed", or "In your Kennel" (choose one and be consistent). The dog will
probably go inside. At first, don't close the door. Just praise the dog for going in. When he's used
to going in, start closing the door, at first just for a few seconds. Give the puppy a little treat
through the bars when he's inside with the door closed. Extend the time he spends inside the
kennel gradually. Never let him out when he's crying as that only rewards crying. When you let
the puppy out, don't make a big deal out of it. You don't want coming out to seem better than
going in!
