This litter was born on March 11th. We have 9 boys and only 1 girl! This was Grace's first litter and she is proving to be a wonderful mother. We believe that it's very important for each puppies health that they receive their mother's milk immediately after birth and are allowed to wean naturally. We never take the puppies away from their mother as many breeders do. Our Mama dogs know when the time is right for weaning and play with their puppies even when they have been weaned.

It's important for puppies to stay with their mother and siblings until they are at least 8 weeks old so they will become well adjusted dogs. With children from 2 to 15 in our household, the puppies are handled from birth and are well socialized.

We only sell puppies to approved homes and we like to get to know prospective buyers very well. If you are interested in one of our puppies, please tell us more about yourself.

This litter was born on March 11. Grace had an easy, normal labor and no veterinary assistance was required. The puppies nursed shortly after birth until Grace became busy delivering another pup. Brumby had to be supplemented with goat's milk from birth due to his small size. The other pups lived on Mama's milk until they started on goat's milk and organic baby cereal at 3 weeks of age. Then, we added cottage cheese, hamburger, chicken, vegetables, and rice. The puppies lived in their whelping box in our bedroom until they were 2 weeks old. Then they moved to our extra large laundry room. We have been gradually expanding their territory as they have become more mobile. They walk, play and sleep on carpet and blankets and are already learning to paper train on newspaper. We spend much time with the pups every day, socializing them and playing with them. They have been around our two Cairns from an early age as well as Grace has not minded their presence. They are now spending much playtime outdoors each day.

Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test

This is a test developed by dog trainers to help breeders assess and place puppies in the most suitable homes. Each puppy is brought to the testing area without their littermates and a stranger administers the test. The test is best given on the pups 49th day of life, which is when we gave it. The results can help identify puppies who are best suited to be in more or less active homes, pups which are more or less easy to train, puppies which are a good choice for homes with children, older people, and working situations, such as hunting, as therapy dogs, show dogs, search and rescue dogs etc. Every litter contains a variety of personalities. When the right puppy is matched with the right humans, everyone is happier. It's worth lots of time and effort to see that our puppies go to the homes where they and their new owners will be thrilled with the match.

Puppy Puzzle Conformation

We evaluated this litter using the method developed by Pat Hastings, who evaluates about 250 litters each year. We evaluated the litter on the exact date which Pat says gives you the best picture of the adult conformation of each puppy. Her system uses a 5 point scale, so 5 is a perfect score, 1 is the worst score. Anything below a 3 is a serious flaw which keeps a puppy from being show/breeding quality. The testing is very comprehensive and includes things like: overall balance and proportion, temperament, pigment, head shape, eyes, ears, bite, neck, shoulder angulation, angle of bone alignments, elbows, width and depth of chest, front assembly, length of ribcage and loin, hock stability shape and length, rear assembly, straightness of front and back legs, fit of knees shape of feet. shape of pelvis, tailset, topline and for male puppies, making sure both testicles are descended. Every puppy in our litter tested as show/breeding quality using her standards. Individual results may be viewed on each puppy's page.

About our Health Guarantee

Some breeders insist that a dog be returned to the breeder or even put to sleep before they will give a replacement puppy. We think that is just terrible. If a puppy developed any genetic disease in the first two years of life, we would simply ask for a letter from a veterinarian with the diagnosis and confirming that the dog has been spayed/neutered. We would then give a free replacement puppy of your choice from our next available litter. So you would keep your first pet and receive a second one - completely free with AKC registration (many breeders only give half off, chose the replacement puppy for you, or refuse to give you AKC registration on the replacement puppy).
