Updates from Chestnut and Nick

Now they are Teak and Toby ;) Much better names, imo.

“Good Morning Jennifer & family!

Day 1 - I wanted to give you an update on Toby before I go to bed. He has done very well today, I got home from work tonight and B had taught Toby to "sit" its so cute! She also taught him how to walk on a leash. He ate his dog food mixed with chicken, he loved it! He follows B around everywhere. He only had one potty accident today. All in all we had a Great day with the little guy! We love him very much! Thank you for our little Toby dog. :0)

Day 2 - We put him in a create next to my bed, it only took him 5 minutes to calm down and telling "No, go to sleep" I kept thinking this is just to easy!! He slept for 5 hours and held it. I took him out @ 5 am this morning. Cuddled with him for 15 minutes, at first he wanted to play, I put my hand gently over his face to tell him no playing, he gave a funny whine and sighed and cuddled into my neck. I can't believe how smart he is!! What an amazing little dog that God made!! “

“Hi Jenn and family, wanted to shoot you an email to let you know little Teak is settling into our family very well. He eats like a horse and pees a lot, he and A are the best of friends and also getting comfortable with our other dog C. Thank you for our newest member "Teak".
D, K and little A

Thoughts on Children and Puppies

First off, let me begin by saying we love children, after all, we have 9 of them. We have been asked several times for our position on children and dogs as some of our customers have been turned away from other breeders for the simple fact....they have children.

We consider this close-minded to lump all children into the catagory of Puppy Abusers. This is just not true. All children whose families aquire a puppy must be taught before the puppy comes in to the home, to first, be caaaaalm with the puppy. Always talk softly and act softly. Puppies feed off energy and get riled up quite easily...this isn't a good thing with children. Puppies will get accidentally stepped on, dropped, or sat upon causing serious injury or death. Not to mention the emotional trauma to the child.

Your young children must be properly supervised at all times and all children trained how to handle a puppy correctly. If you DON'T want a puppy that bites, snaps, is hard to potty train or an I-gotta-lock-him-in-the-bathroom-he's-driving-me-crazy type of puppy...then train your children to love on the puppy with gentle, soft words and actions. Crate train to give quiet time. Set the example for the children to imitate. Children learn best by observing and imitating, not lectures or a quick spoken list of rules. Be patient.

We give our puppies the best possible start, a better start than most breeders can offer, in the fact that our puppies are socialized with children who love a good playtime and never allow biting(but we do allow kisses!) or rough play. What you expect from your children will make, or break, a great family dog. Puppies are very impressionable and resilient, just have fun with them and your children in a controlled environment.

Recent Compliments

January 24, 2011

"She did whine a little bit the first night, but it wasn't anything that we weren't prepared for. She seems to be adjusting well. :) We put her in a covered wire kennel/crate next to our bed at night...We love her SOOOOO MUCH! :D She is adorable and we are so glad to finally have her! She has the sweetest personality and is quite possibly the cutest puppy my wife and I have ever seen in our lives!

Thank you guys for putting such thought, work, and love into breeding these wonderful dogs!" ~ JT, Washington

Our Guarantee to You

Our Puppies...

•Have a 7 DAY 100% puppy back/money back written guarantee if puppy is deemed unhealthy in ANY WAY by your vet. Buy with confidence, have peace of mind.

•Come with a portfolio containing a detailed health record for your vet & information to start your pup out right. This helps to make the transition from our home to yours an easy one.

•Are fully weaned and sent home with a starter bag of puppy's food and a SCENTED blanket from mama.

•They are socialized with respectful supervised children, adults, dogs big and small. We get wonderful compliments on our family friendly dogs. They run to you, not away from you. It is up to you to continue that wonderful start.

•Due to a recent increase in reactions, we will NOT give first shots. We will NOT immunize before 12 weeks of age, therefore this responsibility falls on you to carry out. Our puppies will arrive with robust, uncompromised immune systems. We recommend keeping your puppy away from dog parks, rest stops and other areas visited by many dogs that may increase risk of any disease.

•Are Worm-free! Wormed on strict schedule using Fenbendazole starting at 4 weeks of age. Worms in puppies can lead to more problems than just weight loss. Diarrhea, coughing, vomiting are common. Only healthy, round food filled bellies here!

•ARE easily paper/puppy pad trained to keep those first messes where you'd like them.

•Have had all dew claws removed. This prevents the dog from three things. 1. A forgotten ingrown dewclaw nail can grow in a tight circle and then penetrate the leg. 2. Having a now costly surgery later in life to have them removed. 3. Having the dog chew them off himself...yuck & infection.

•Mamma and Papa are owned and kept here with us! With notice, you are welcome to meet both.

◦$200 RESERVES YOUR PUPPY!

◦$50 is non-refundable.

◦We prefer prompt pick-up, however, we understand life happens. We can hold a reserved puppy up to 7 days past it's release date. After that, we do charge a low boarding fee of $7 per day.

◦ShihPoos are a cross breed and can NOT BE REGISTERED WITH AKC. Please understand these puppies are not registerable. ;)
