We actively train ALL of our dogs.   Training our females not only keeps them  healthy and happy but allows us to better choose the males we breed them to.  Firsthand knowledge of our females working ability and aptitude is what makes selecting appropriate mates possible. 

We take a tremendous amount of pride in both our puppies and the programs we employ to give them the best start possible.  

Our work to ensure their future success and development starts the day after they  are born.  On day one we begin utilizing “Developing High Achievers” aka "Early Neurological Stimulation".    You can find more info about that on our articles page. 

At age appropriate stages pups are taken out daily to explore the outside world.    They are introduced to a wide variety of sounds and surfaces.  They learn to interact with cats, are taken for car rides, and are exposed to both children and wide variety of adults.

Our goal is to not only produce dogs with great working potential but also  companions that are enjoyable to live with.  

Before contacting us about a puppy please take a second to read and understand the following.

1.  My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful. 
2.  Give me time to understand what you want of me 
3.  Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being. 
4.  Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your            work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you. 
5.  Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when             speaking to me. 
6.  Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it. 
7.  Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I             choose not to bite you. 
8.  Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be      bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long,            or my heart might be getting old or weak. 
9.   Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old. 
10  On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch.       Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because           I love you so.

~Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them. 
Life would be a much duller, less joyful experience without God's critters.
