I take puppy placement very seriously! Every litter produced here has the same end goal of producing physically and mentally sound puppies with the inherent skills and temperament that will allow them to be good hunting and family dogs. Within these parameters each of my litters are bred with a slightly different objective in mind. Our pups are started using the Biosensor program for early neurological development (ENS) and they go through extensive socialization while they are in my home to allow them to become the best puppy they can be.
Boldness and confidence are developed by exposing pups to normal daily life in our home:
children, obstacles, birds, water, and crate training (begun around 3 weeks) Around 4-5 weeks pups are taken for car rides and daily walks and romps in the yard and learn to come with me/go with me and the basics of being a good bird dog are started during those walks. Field trial pups begin learning to stay to the front.
There ARE NO PICK PUPPIES in my litters. Rather, there are only "best fit" puppies and to this end I work very hard to find the best pick for each family. Around 6-8 weeks, pups are evaluated and I will work with new owners to help place them in the correct home based on multiple factors. For an additional fee per week/month I can offer to keep your puppy and start them on birds or do basic obedience/crate training/housebreaking if prearranged
