Puppy Protocol
| Day 1 - 16: | Whelped in the living room Stimulations begin the first day, as well as daily handling. This helps puppies get used to being held, feeling different textures, and experiencing a range of Sounds, voices and people. |
| Day 17 - 4 Weeks: | Pups are handled individually every day. We talk to them, pet them, and let them explore their pen in our home. |
| 4 - 6 Weeks: | Puppies are handled every day, held, petted, and talked to. They are taken out of the whelping pen and begin to explore. Toys are introduced, and puppies begin to do short retrieves. |
| 6 - 8 Weeks: | Puppies continue retrieving and playing with toys. They are taken for walks to explore outside. Puppies are introduced to the collar and a dragging lead. We take our pups through cover, over ditches, up and down hills, and to all the places they need to learn to go for hunting and to be a well rounded family pet. They become comfortable inside the house as well, going up and down stairs, seeing a TV, cats, other dogs, and other aspects of home life. Beginning crate training is started, with pups becoming more and more familar with the crate as time progresses. They are introduced to many new surfaces, rooms, environments and people. |
| 8-10 Weeks: | Puppies are can go to their new owners! (Puppies being shipped can fly to there new home at 10 weeks) |

You can't buy loyalty, they say I bought it though, the other day; You can't buy friendship tried and true, But just the same, I bought that too. I made my bid and on the spot Bought love and faith and a whole job lot The purchase price was pretty small. I bought a single trusting heart, That gave devotion from the start If you think these things are not for sale Buy a brown-eyed puppy with a wagging tail. (unknown) |
