heepdog x poodle and dad (Shiloh) is a border collie x sheepdog, both live at home with us on our small hobby farm and have been great family dogs, with laid back personalities and low shed/no shed coats. Puppies have been raised with other dogs, cats, goats, chickens and even a pot belly pig :)
Our puppies are handled from day 1 by our family and from day 3-16 we do Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI). From 16 days till they go to their new homes, we interact with the puppies multiple times a day, touch their toes, have them lay on their back and feel their bellies, check their ears and eyes and teeth, all things to help them desensitize to later vet and daily cares they will need. We also trim nails once a week and work exposing them to blow dryers, bathing, brushing, and the vibration from trimmers.
All our puppies have had a veterinarian health exam, dew claws removed, wormed and with receive their first and second shots.
