What's included
Enrichment and socialization
I have such a great environment for puppies to be exposed to many different elements. My home is at my training/boarding facility. People and dogs coming and going constantly. We do not socialize puppies with any dogs but our own until after the second booster vaccines. I set up obstacles and mazes for feeding time. I also start them on clicker training at 4 weeks old. We go on field trips to different public places. I also start teaching a retrieve and they even get acclimated to the pool. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Car rides, Socialized with other animals, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Daily handling, Socialized with other dogs, Socialized in new places, Socialized with children, Various sounds, and Surface & tactile stimulation.
Puppy health practices
It starts with the parents being fully health tested and cared for with the utmost standards. Caring for the Bitch during her pregnancy, worming, vitamins good diet est. Puppies receive multiple workings and vaccines before leaving. I actually keep the puppies until about 12 weeks to properly evaluate them and place them in the appropriate home that fits my buyer wants. All puppies are chipped and on a nonbreeding contract.
Extras
We send our puppies home with Microchip, Food & treats, Vet records, and Basic obedience & manners.

More about Crystal
Why Crystal started breeding
Its a fine line since I also run a dog rescue. Rescue people do not mesh well with the idea of breeding. I have a goal of producing healthy, stable, livable and extremely driven/athletic dogs to compete in various sports.
