What Makes Us Different
We are just a few days away from our sweet Cupcake giving birth to her very first litter of shihpoos and I want to take some time to explain why our puppies are different and what sets us apart from other breeders. I have purchased puppies in the past from pet stores, backyard breeders and reputable breeders and I can tell you that there is a very big difference in those three. The one puppy I purchased from a pet store many years ago turned out to be a nightmare to house break and came with a host of behavioral issues while the puppy purchased from a back yard breeder didn’t fair much better. The puppy purchased from a reputable breeder was like night and day from the others. It was after comparing my own personal experiences that I wanted to make sure that I provided the best possible puppy to my puppy parents.
When I am working with my puppies I am continuously thinking of the family that will be getting one of my puppies and I do my best to desensitize them to all sorts of “scary” things. When my puppies leave me they will not startle to a vacuum or to fireworks or a variety of other loud noises. They are also very comfortable being handled and having basic grooming done. They get sanitary cuts, nails trimmed and baths on a regular basis. I run clippers over their bodies so they can feel the vibration and not be scared at their first groom. I handle their paws daily so they won’t mind nail trims and I use a variety of different methods when rinsing them during baths, they are used to being rinsed with cups as well as an overhead spray wand. I begin introducing them to all different textures as soon as they start pulling themselves around so they will be comfortable on any surface. They are put through mini obstacle courses when they are 5+ weeks old to encourage problem solving and to also help with the fear of the unknown. I work with my puppies every day so they are used to being handled and held.
I use my experience with past purchases of poorly bred dogs to ensure that you aren’t getting one. I know the frustration that can bring and my goal is to give my puppies the absolute best start in life. When you get a puppy from us, you are getting a puppy that I personally have poured my heart and soul into. I love each and every puppy that we have and I don’t approve every single application that is submitted.
After choosing one of our puppies and being approved I send regular pictures and videos of your puppy. I will also video chat with you so you can see your puppy as well as my mama dog. I will answer any questions you may have both before and after you get your puppy. I still have contact with puppy owners, who are now friends, of puppies from previous litters. I will always help and support you. If you get a puppy from me then great, but if not then I hope you connect with a breeder that will meet all of your needs and get you the very best puppy for you.
