PetzloverThis beautiful princess is an english (clear) cream. Her nose will turn pink by 8-16 months of age. I have dubbed her "Dora the Explorer" because she is always everywhere! A brave and adventurous little thing, she is! Previous owners have reported coat stays very soft, even after adulthood. Past litters matured 7-12lbs. I am very passionate about my babies and about breeding. My parents' emotional health is of equal importance to me as their physical health. They are very much members of my family that my children and I have fully bonded with. They go to the park with us, on walks, get stockings from Santa every year, and cuddle up with us on the couch. All my mommas labor and deliver in my personal bedroom where she can be in a quiet, warm, and dark environment. I will then move puppies into the back of my kitchen, where they are exposed to pots and pans and dishwasher, etc. This helps ensure they won't be skittish as they grow. I've had mommas whom I purchase never grow out of their skittish-ness no matter how much I worked with them. Needless to say, this is an important element to raising puppies. By 3-4 weeks old, my puppies will be wagging their tails following the feet entering the room. The last phase in my process is moving them into my living room, where they receive maximum socialization. Puppies will never be in cages. Even for my adults, cages are rarely used. All puppies are introduced to reusable puppy pads. I use a reward system with pupperoni treats. I also take them outside in our fenced-in yard weather and age permitting. All my babies come with limited AKC registration, Copies of Parents DNA results -mom is cleared for 200 genetic predispositions dad 30-, Copies of parents pedigrees, a little "brochure-style" dog records to keep track of what has been done shot, exam, microchip, and worming wise. Also, a short contract stating companion only, no guarantee on size, color, etc. And a year genetic guarantee. All of this paperwork is tucked in a folder for the new parent(s). All babies come with a small baby blanket with mother's scent, a small bag of starter food, a toy, 2 disposable puppy pads, and poop bag dispenser with an extra roll of eco-friendly bags. Pups also come vaccinated with a 5-in-1 shot at 6 weeks of age and 8 weeks. I worm them at 2 and 4 weeks of age with pyrantel pamoate and with fenbendazole (3 days in a row) at 6 and 8 weeks of age. I also microchip them with a tsa approved chip (134.2K). They will also receive nexguard shortly before going to their homes. I have all my parents on Taste of the Wild- High Prairie. This is a quality food that boasts 32% protein. I do this so my Dachshunds stay lean. The proteins in this particular food are venison, bison, pea, and lamb. I've found some of my dogs in the past showed a bit of tummy upset when I used foods with chicken as the protein. This food also contains blueberries and raspberries, prebiotics, and probiotics (80 million per pound). This is also the food I transition puppies to when they are ready to wean. Upon giving birth, I give my mommas the canned version of this food with a squirt of omega 3, 6, DHA, and EPA, and a small amount of powdered calcium. I also give them a probiotic chew and a "lactating mommas" chew for a few days to help with milk production. All parents' DNA results are uploaded under their profiles. I don't post their AKC numbers for safety reasons, but paperwork sent home with pups do show them. Will be ready on May 24th.
