Raising puppies

For a puppy to grow into a wonderful companion, everything begins with a careful choice of parents and proper socialization. .

At our kennel, we know that we are the ones who can give our puppies the best possible start in life through our care and love. The puppies grow up with us in our home, being part of the daily hustle and bustle of the household. With respect to their age and development, they are gradually exposed to various stimuli, sounds, and surfaces to slowly get used to new things and build emotional resilience.

In our kennel, we use methods from the American program Puppy Culture. Puppy Culture is a scientifically backed, comprehensive program for breeders and puppy owners. It covers the period from birth until the puppies leave for their new homes. It is a system that tells us exactly what to do on specific days of a puppy's development to maximize their potential and prevent future behavioral issues.

The entire process begins as early as three days of age with Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS). Through short, gentle exercises, we stimulate the puppies' nervous system at a time when their brains are just beginning to develop. Research shows that dogs who undergo this stimulation show greater resilience to stress in adulthood, have stronger immune systems, and handle their emotions better. For us, this is the first step toward ensuring the puppy can navigate the challenges of the big world with calmness in the future.

As soon as the puppies start actively exploring the world, we focus on a rich variety of perceptions. The puppies get used to different surfaces here, from grass and pavement to all kinds of unstable mats or rustling foils. We teach them that a change under their feet is not a reason to worry, but to explore. 

Acoustic preparation is equally important to us—the puppies grow up in the normal bustle of the household, but we also intentionally introduce them to sudden sounds like vacuums, bangs, thunderstorms, fireworks, or city noise, always with their well-being in mind so they build positive associations.

We place great emphasis on practical preparation for life in their new families. The puppies experience their first car rides with us so that traveling is not a stressful experience for them, but a natural part of the day. We also gradually teach them to rest in a crate or a playpen.

We do not forget about socialization with people either—our puppies meet individuals of various ages and appearances to ensure they are trusting and open to new friendships. A part of Puppy Culture is also building emotional resilience and communication foundations, such as the behavior known as "manding." This means the puppy naturally offers a calm behavior (like sitting) to get attention or a toy, rather than jumping or whining. 

We do this whole process with the hope that our puppies will grow into resilient and happy dogs. Our biggest hope is, that you will bring home a puppy that is not afraid of the world around them and who will be your best and most cooperative companion from day one.  

We keep detailed records of each puppy from birth until they go to their new homes. These logs help us evaluate their personality, their strengths, and, conversely, their weaker areas. We are happy to share all this information with prospective buyers so they can get a clear picture of what the puppies already know, how they reacted to it, and how they behave.

We will be more than happy to send videos, photos, and updates about the puppies to potential buyers while they are still with us. We would love the same from future owners. For us, it does not end with the sale of a puppy, and we will deeply appreciate it if future owners stay in touch and keep us informed about how the puppy is doing. We are always available to future owners whenever they need advice on anything.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We will gladly answer any of your questions and help or advise you in any way we can.
