If I am planning on breeding, at the first  
sign of Momma coming into season I  
start giving her a Multi Vitamin.  I then  
choose my stud dog.  My studs are  
owned and raised by me.  

At about 5 weeks into the possible  
pregnancy, I can decide if they are  
indeed pregnant.  When Momma is  
around 54 to 56 days into her 63 day  
gestation period, I take her in for x-rays.  
This allows me to prepare for whelping.
With my vets expertise, I am able to  
determine if the pups are normal size.  If  
there should be a puppy too large a "C"  
would be scheduled just before her due  
date.  If all looks good, we go home and  
make sure all the whelping supplies are  
in order.

No expecting mother is ever left alone 1  
to 2 weeks before her due date.  She  
and her portable whelping room go to  
work with me every day and errands are
kept to a minimum.  One week before  
her due date, I begin to take temperature
twice a day.  Once her temperature  
reaches the whelping point, I watch her  
like a hawk.

The second her water breaks the world  
comes to a halt.  My Mommas will never  
whelp without me.  Once a pup is born,  
and cleaned up a bit, he/she is weighed.  
The average size at birth for my pups is  
3 to 4oz.  They are given nick names  
and loved and handled every moment I  
can.  At 4 to 5 days old they go to the    
vet.  Momma gets her after whelping  
check up, and babies get their tails and  
dew claws done.

My puppies stay with me until they are  
at least nine weeks old.  At 9 weeks old  
average weight of my pups is just 2lbs.  
They receive shots and are wormed at 6  
& 9 weeks, and if they are still with me at
12 weeks they also receive their 12  
week shot.

Puppies are sent home with puppy kits  
that contain shot records, birth weight, a
small bag of the puppy food they have  
been eating, a blanket, and toys they  
have been sharing with their siblings  
and momma.  As well as your copy of  
the buyer signed buyer contract.  All  
puppies come with a contract whether  
you are offer a show home or not.  I do  
not and never will ship my pups or adult
dogs via cargo.  I will allow them to go
as a carry-on at the buyers expense.
