Our process

How we raise our puppies: BIRTH TO 8 WEEKS

EARLY NEUROLOGICAL STIMULATION

From day 3 to 16, we use Early Neurological Stimulation, also known as ENS. This was developed by the US Military for working dogs. It includes: Tactile stimulation, head held erect, head pointed down, supine position(on its back), and thermal stimulation. This is done briefly, once a day. This is done in addition to normal interaction and cuddles. So what are the benefits? Healthier puppies, and puppies who are more tolerant of stress.

PUPPY CULTURE

We also utilize Puppy Culture from birth to 8 weeks of age. This is a program that helps set puppies up for long term success in real life. It is a detailed, and specific way to socialize, introduce puppy foundation training, create communication, and prevent problem behaviors.

WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE

What makes us different than the rest? You have two experienced trainers addressing potential problem areas before they ever arise. We focus on laying a solid foundation that sets you up for success.


Some highlights are: potty training begun, introduction to crate training, multiple car rides to avoid car sickness, puppy bite inhibition, environmental exposure, dog socialization, people socialization, introduction to luring and obedience training, introduction to learning how to play appropriately with toys and retrieves, and much, much more!

You’re getting a golden from us, now what?

Doing it right

Health tested to GRCA standards and can be verified independently on the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals website by searching the dogs official AKC registered name. They have hips, elbows, advanced cardiac, eye exams, and DNA testing to ensure we give our puppies the best head start in life.


All of our adult dogs live in our homes, have multiple AKC titles in a variety of venues, and lead active lives as valued members of our families. We raise our puppies to be the same  and are here to help you and your puppy succeed.

Purchase and Pickup

All puppies will be sold on limited AKC registration(no breeding rights), and can start going home at 8 weeks old. Puppies are $3,000, with a deposit of $500 due after birth. They will go home with a puppy starter pack to help get you going on the right foot! Puppies will receive a vet check, age appropriate DHLPP vaccines, multiple dewormings, and multiple fecal test before going to their new homes.


All puppies will be available for pickup at our home in North Idaho or at our home in Porterville. Some ground transport is available. Otherwise, there are flight nannies/ground shippers that I know and trust and can recommend to bring your puppy to you(the extra fee goes to the transporter). Please inquire for more information.

Jump Start: Puppy Training Option

Do you need a little help with your young puppy? I can give your dog a solid jump start on potty training, crate training, basic leash manners and house manners. Pricing for this option begins at $1,500/month. Please contact us for more information. Available in North Idaho, Central California, and Southern California.
