A LITTLE ABOUT HOW WE RAISE OUR PUPPIES OUR FEMALES ARE CLOSELY MONITORED THROUGH THEIR ENTIRE PREGNANCY. WE USE A DOPPLER TO MONITOR THE PUPPIES HEARTBEATS AND TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE ALL STRONG. IF IT IS A BREED THAT NEEDS THEIR TAIL DOCKED, THE PUPPIES ARE TAKEN TO THE VET WHEN THEY ARE 5 DAYS OLD AND HE CHECKS THEM OUT AND DOES THE TAILS AND DEW CLAWS. WE DO NOT ALLOW OUR PUPPIES TO BE VIEWED THE FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER THEIR BIRTH SO THAT GERMS ARE NOT BROUGHT INTO THEIR ENVIRONMENT. ALL OF OUR PUPPIES ARE WELL SOCIALIZED BEFORE GOING TO THEIR LOVING NEW HOMES. AND STARTING AT ABOUT 3 WEEKS OF AGE, THEY ARE HANDLED DAILY. THEY ARE ALSO EXPOSED TO DIFFERENT NOISES AND SOUNDS. ALL OF OUR PUPPIES ARE SOCIALIZED WITH OTHER ANIMALS AS WELL, SO THAT THEY ARE NOT AFRAID. (SHOULD THEIR NEW OWNERS HAVE ANY!) ALL OF OUR PUPPIES WILL HAVE THEIR SHOTS AT THE APPROPRIATE AGES. THEY WILL GET AT LEAST THEIR 1ST SET, AND DEPENDING HOW LONG THEY STAY HERE, THEY MAY GET MORE. THEY ARE ALSO DEWORMED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THEY LEAVE. OUR PUPPIES ARE COMPLETELY WEANED FROM THEIR MOTHERS AND EATING SOLID FOOD BEFORE WE ALLOW THEM TO LEAVE. OUR WEIM PUPPIES ARE RAISED ON EUKANUBA LARGE BREED PUPPY FOOD AND OUR SMALL BREED PUPPIES ARE RAISED ON EUKANUBA SMALL BREED PUPPY FOOD. WE WILL INFORM YOU OF YOUR NEW PUPPY'S FEEDING SCHEDULE. WHERE WE ARE LOCATED WE ARE LOCATED IN BEAUTIFUL SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA, NEAR NORTHEAST TENNESSEE AND EASTERN KENTUCKY. E-MAIL
