How We Raise Our Puppies
We Raise Our Mini Goldendoodles and Mini Bernedoodles
Raising puppies is our top priority. This means we are very intentional in the care and upbringing of each puppy. We also want to place happy, healthy, and intelligent puppies with great families. All of our adults are DNA health tested to prevent the puppies from developing any preventable genetic conditions.
​
Socialization and development are also very important! We begin Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) at a very young age. We start this at 3 days old and and continues until the puppies are 2.5 weeks old. After ENS we start other socialization and continue to handle our puppies daily. Puppies will also experience a number of different exposures such as thunder, fire sirens, people in hats, people with umbrellas, people in sweatshirts, tractors, lawnmowers, children, other animals, etc. They will also experience different surfaces and textures such as wood, rubber, grass, rope, etc.
​
Once it is safe for the pups (age and weather wise) the puppies have 24/7 indoor/outdoor access through their doggy door. Puppies quickly learn to go potty outside and avoid going in their indoor/safe space. This helps with potty training in their new homes and they are accustomed to all types of weather. We also start with crate introduction by allowing the puppies to enter, exit, and sleep in their crates. This allows the puppies to become used to the crate and teaching them that the crate is not a punishment but a safe place.

We want to send home a well adjusted, confident, and loving dog with our families!
