I utilize the following enrichment methods: Puppy Culture .
Pups are seen immediately after birth for veterinary evaluations. Dewormed every two weeks, begin appropriate vaccinations based on veterinary recommendations. Typically, they need one additional booster and rabies at a minimum of 16 weeks after leaving. Pups are also microchipped.
We send our puppies home with puppy Culture materials, lifetime registration of the microchip, and Microchip.
