Whelping and Puppy Care
-
Puppies are whelped and raised for the first few weeks in the whelping box with mom
-
Heat lamps and heating discs are used to ensure optimal temperatures are maintained
-
We provide 24 hr round the clock supervision for the first 3-4 weeks of life to ensure both mom and pups are thriving
-
Mom will remain with the pups until pups are ready to go to their new homes
-
Important life lessons are taught from the mother even though puppies will have been completely weaned
-
Once puppies are mobile we expand the box to provide more space to explore
-
Once puppies have started the weaning process around 4 weeks we open their space to provide new stimulation and surrounding awareness
-
Spring and summer litters allow us the opportunity to take the pups outdoors for play time and exploration
-
As puppies grow we provide them with adequate space to explore and play
