OUR LITTERS

​​

Our kennel has chosen to use Puppy Culture in raising our puppies. Puppy Culture is a comprehensive socialization and developmental program designed to guide breeders and puppy owners through the critical early stages of a puppy’s life, primarily from birth through 12 weeks of age. It was created by Jane Killion, a professional dog breeder and trainer, and is based on scientific principles of canine development and behavior. This program emphasizes proactive training and enrichment that shapes well-adjusted, confident, and behaviorally sound dogs. The program aligns with key neurological and psychological milestones in a puppy's development.
