Welcome to our Puppy Journals!

The work we do with each of our litters is quite extensive. It begins the day mamma becomes pregnant and continues long after puppies transition to their new homes.

We are constantly conducting research and educating ourselves so that we can provide puppies with the best life possible.

The First 12 Weeks: A Game Changer

Did you know that the first 12 weeks of a puppy's life are the most important in determining what type of adult the puppy will become? The socialization that a puppy receives in the first 12 weeks will alter the chemistry in his/her brain forever! The instruction literally becomes PART of the puppy.

As breeders, we know we have a small window of opportunity to give you the best puppy possible, so we take this time very seriously. We ascribe to two primary puppy curriculums: Puppy Culture & Bad Ass Breeders. These curriculums give us the tools to develop each puppy's neurological, emotional, and physical health. We are determined to make every second count so that the puppy can live up to its fullest potential and have the happiest life possible!

After the 12 week window of socialization, the puppies will then transition to the "training" period. While we are not certified dog trainers, we can offer suggestions and advice based on our personal experience.

Enjoy the Journey with Us!
