We take great pride in our dogs and puppies.
We keep all our dogs in our home with lots of
play time out side. Our dogs are not dogs to
us but part of our family.
We start out with our new born puppies in a
room with their Mom so she can have a peaceful
place to take care of her new born puppies.
New Mom can come and go as she please but we
do not let any other dogs around the new born
puppies. Mom gets extra puppy food to help her
feed the new born.
When our puppies are about 4 to 5 weeks old
we start them on dog litter training.
We move the puppies out into puppy play pens
in our living room around 5 to 6 weeks old
so they will be use to everyday sounds and our
other dogs along with our Blue and Gold Macaw
bird. If I have more than one litter around
the same age I will keep them together so they
learn to play with other dogs.
We start to worm puppies and Mom at 2 weeks old.
We worm at 3,4,6 and 8 weeks old. Their first
vaccines are giving by our vet at 8 weeks old.
Their last worming will be giving at that time
during their health check up.
We never take our puppies out of the house until
they have their first vaccines.
All of our Rat terriers have their tails dock
and dew claws removed at birth. Unless their birth
weight is so small and I think they would do
better health wise to wait until they are 4 days
old and then only if they are in good health.
The other time is when a request for the tail not
to be dock. Then we would need the puppy to be
paid in full.This is non refundable so make
sure you pick out the one you want and know you
are not going to change your mind.
When I have such request I will hold off docking
the tails till the next day after birth but
will remove the dew claws at birth.
