Puppies are handled daily. Raised in my room for the first 2-3 weeks. Then move to my puppy room. Once weaned, we move them to the main part of house. They see and hear and handled so much they are very social. The kids from church occasionally come to puppy play dates to socialize them more. I believe in neurological stimulation to help them starting at birth. They are groomed regularly. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Scent introduction, Surface & tactile stimulation, Socialized in new places, Socialized with other dogs, Socialized with other animals, Daily handling, Socialized with children, Various sounds, Puppy pads , Impulse Control, Body handling protocol, including sitting still for grooming, Grooming and Nail Care, Noise Desensitization, Come, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Grooming Desensitization, Early Neurological Stimulation, and Noises.
Our puppies will always come with shots current by the veterinarian, a full exam fecal test, etc. They will have a health certificate detailing everything vet has done. All info copies of parents test etc provided in puppy folder.
We send our puppies home with Initial potty training, Blanket with mom & littermates’ scent, Puppy starter kit, Toys, Basic obedience & manners, Vet records, Food & treats, Microchip, Registration, AKC Registration, Food Starter Bag, Certificate of Health, Microchip, Puppy Collar, Vaccinations, Toy with Littermates' Scent, Bone, and Puppy Leash.
Jennifer offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
Work with a trusted flight nanny or transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.
Why Jennifer started breeding
I fell in love with grooming dogs and dog shows. I got my first Poodle and loved transforming it into a perfect dog. Then I started breeding them to perfect them in structure and personality too. I love making families happy with something they can be proud to love and ease of training and healthy for a very long time. I enjoy helping people get the perfect pet for many years of unconditional love.
