Feeding:

Your puppy is first weaned onto a wholly organic, raw diet. 
By the time your puppy leaves at 8 weeks of age, they will have been introduced to and fed on bio, locally produced raw meats such as grass-fed beef liver, heart, and green tripe. Whole chicken, turkey, quail, guinea fowl, and duck. Salmon, whole herring, sardines, and green-lipped muscles. Steamed pumpkin, broccoli, carrots, spinach, and free-range raw eggs w/ the shell. Along with additional supplements such as vitamin C, alfalfa, stinging nettle, and spirulina. 

Since this style of feeding does not suit the lifestyle of many of our clients, we have begun transitioning our puppies onto a high-quality dry kibble recipe. The first is Belcando (made in Germany) "Puppy Gravy" / "Junior Lamb & Rice" / "Mastercraft Fresh Beef" (also comes in lamb, salmon, duck, or turkey), and the second is Farmina (Switzerland) "Ancestral Grain". There are many good options out there these days. Where dry dog food is concerned, I highly recommend that you research PhytoEstrogens and learn to find them in the ingredients list of the recipes you are considering feeding your dog. They can wreak havoc. Most, if not, all grain-free recipes have them in high quantities. Remember, when something is removed it must be replaced by something else and those things are often phytoestrogens in the form of peas, flaxseed, barley, etc. This is very detrimental to hormone production if used in high doses. Phytoestrogens effect growth, reproduction, and behavior in your dog.

Our Policy on Breeding Ages

Our breed club and parent registry (the SCC) have laws in place to protect the welfare of the dogs it governs. They require that a female not be bred under 15 months of age and be no older than 9 years of age for her final litter. They also permit a dog to breed back to back with a maximum of 3 litters in a row before she is required to rest. With some breeds, they do not allow a female to be bred the first time after 3 years of age (recent change to the bylaws). Her first breeding must also be done naturally and not via AI, (unless you have a derogation.) These laws must be respected if you wish for your puppies to be recorded in their registry. Of course, no matter how responsible a breeder is, mistakes do happen to even the best of us (an intern forgets to close a park gate all the way, for example, and turns her back to do something else, and voila!)... in which case, derogations may be granted. Despite our own stellar record of ZERO mistakes, we have only ever had an "oops" litter once (Spring 2023) and you can be sure it will never happen again. For the sake of transparency, those puppies were all beautiful and healthy, the mother did very well under our very diligent loving care and is still doing fantastically, the SCC was notified, and the puppies were registered and sold with official pedigrees. We tell you this because the experience helped us to evaluate how we worked and enabled us to see a better perspective that we refused to see before. Younger females fare much better than older females as first-time mothers. This lead us to make changes... as it's the natural order of things to want to change, improve where we can, and evolve for the better.

We used to wait until a female was at least 3 years of age before breeding her (sometimes even 4 years of age). No matter the individual. She would generally produce one litter per year up to 8 or 9 years of age and then she would be retired. With much reflection on our experiences, we have decided to amend our breeding policy and begin breeding females younger and retiring them earlier. We find this to be much better for the females and healthier for the puppies. We are now breeding our females as of their second heat cycle or 2nd year of age (whichever comes first), she will only produce one litter a year (as always), and we will retire her from breeding at 6 years of age (at our discretion, depending on her health and condition). If we feel a female should be retired earlier, she will be. We will also no longer produce winter litters. Puppies will be on the ground between Spring and Fall. Winter is a time for rest, rejuvenation, and reflection on how to improve in the new year to come.
