OUR Breeding APPROACH
RESPONSIBLE BREEDING PRACTICES
We have carefully selected each of our breeding dogs and have conducted extensive health and temperament testing to ensure they meet the highest standards. We are committed to breeding the very best in order to provide the very best results for our families. Every decision we make is intentional and centered on long-term health, sound structure, and exceptional temperament.
It is our desire to set our families up for success by raising well-adjusted, intelligent, friendly, and well-socialized puppies who transition smoothly into their forever homes. We want you to experience the pure joy that comes from loving and being loved by these incredible companions.
FOUNDATIONAL CARE
We follow strict breeding protocols, complete all necessary health screenings, and hold ourselves to high standards for temperament and behavior. We also follow The Ultimate Badass Breeder curriculum developed by Jeanette Forrey, a proven program designed to empower puppies to become the best version of themselves. The first few weeks of life are critical to a puppy’s overall health, development, confidence, and temperament, and we are intentional about providing the very best start during this foundational stage. Early neurological stimulation (ENS) and early scent introduction (ESI) are two important techniques used by breeders, it starts on day 3 of their full life. Like us, they continue to grow, learn, and explore every day of their lives.
CRAFTING EXCEPTIONAL COMPANIONS
This program does not create perfect puppies, but it provides them with a foundation for you to continue their training, giving you a happy, healthy, and confident puppy that will be a loving and loyal companion for years to come.
From the very first days of life, we focus on socialization, gentle handling, and enriching experiences to help each puppy develop confidence, curiosity, and a strong bond with their future family. Our goal is to give you a puppy who is not only healthy and happy but ready to thrive in their new home.
