Weekly emails
I will send out an email every Tuesday to help get your prepared for your pup. You will also get weekly emails once you get your pup to provide you with some tips for living with puppyhood. Please watch for these emails and let me know if you are not receiving them.
Watch Us Grow
- I have set up a Flickr album for photos and a YouTube Playlist for videos so that you can watch they as they grow up. I will try to add snapshots and videos twice a week.
- Due to scammers stealing photos, I have made the Flikr album private. Please click on the link below to see photos.
- If you subscribe to our Youtube channel you should get notifications when I add new videos.
- I do not name each puppy because I believe that is the right of the owner. I will refer to each puppy by a color. Shortly after birth, each puppy is marked with a specific color of nontoxic fabric paint on the back of their necks. Once they are 4 weeks old they will get a tiny Velcro collar and it will be easier for you to identify them as they grow.
- You can bookmark both of these sites or sign up for notifications so that you will know when new pictures and videos are added.
Make sure to Like & Subscribe to our Youtube chanel

What we are learning & doing
As you are aware, our puppies get worked with daily and I thought that it might be fun for you to follow along with what they are doing and learning each week. Below you will find a weekly general outline of activities that we perform with our babies and videos from a previous litter.
Please note that our program is based upon developmental markers that are observed in the puppies. This means that every litter and puppy works through the program at their own pace when they are developmentally ready. This means that if puppies are not ready for an activity or specific set of toys, it will be put off until they are ready. We have developed this program specifically for our breed based on the work of the top puppy programs in the nation.
I will add a new video of the puppies in this litter weekly to the YouTube playlist for this litter so you can follow along with their development and activities.
