Our dogs stay very active with daily exercise and interaction with us. They are not just confined to a kennel. We currently reside on just over 8 acres, purchased for the dogs to make sure they have more than enough room to comfortably live on. They love riding in the car just about anywhere we go and being out in nature on "the farm".

Our pregnant dams are housed in our personal home to be as comfortable as possible while having their pups and to get the undivided attention they need while having their babies. We provide whatever support they need during the birthing process and after. An area in our home is dedicated just for this, for them to have their pups in peace, separate from the rest of the kennel, in a temp controlled room.

As the pups get older we expose them to family, friends and children to get them comfortable with human interaction and being handled by different people. Positive human interaction (among other acts of socialization) is done because we understand the importance of early and continuous socialization for this breed. Other examples of socialization that are done include exposure to various topographies (grass, carpet, pebble rock in the dog run, cement, etc.) as early as 4 weeks old and play time in the yard with their litter mates.
