Both parents are AKC registered and health tested
We handle each puppy daily to not only monitor its health but begin socialization even though they cannot yet hear or see they can smell and be desensitized to touch. Read about how we use Puppy School to help with desensitization.
We continue to monitor daily weights for the entire first week after that we do weekly checkups. We include a record of weights, vaccinations, and de-worming in the health record provided on each pup’s webpage. As a general rule, the pups will gain about an ounce a day through this time.
By week two eyes and ears begin opening and we can tell what type of coat the pups will have.
Week three is when the fun begins the pups start to get their bellies up off the ground, heads come up, and my personal favorite, play begins. This is when we start training the pups in earnest so many new sights, smells, and sounds to be exposed to so that shyness can be avoided.

Where do I start with Miss Annie. Her personality was spot on with Tamara. Annie has learned to climb stairs and now playing fetch. She is almost completely potty trained. She loves anyone that enters our home. She keeps us laughing with her speed. She has a thing for my scrunchies in my hair and knows how to take them out. She is attached to those. It is very amusing. I will go back to Tamara to soon as we know Annie needs a partner in crime.

Little Annie had a great first check up at vet this week. She loves picking at big brother. LOL
