We are asked every day how to select a pup because we no longer have families out to our farm due to puppy theft and The dangers of our world today.
Many of our babies are sold on deposit as soon as they are born.We now have families pick the puppy by color and sex.
We watch their temperament as they grow. If we feel this puppy is not what you are wanting we notify you.
When you meet your puppy if you are not happy with that puppy you may choose another from up coming litter or have a refund.
We are very careful to select Dogs who have had full genetic health panels and good temperaments. If we raise our breeding mother from a puppy and she shows aggression issues or hyperactivity we spay her and home as a pet and never breed her. The same goes for our males. Almost all our breeding mothers and fathers are imported tested and raised by us from babies.
Everyone is welcome to come for a one hour visit to the Vet clinic on their 6 week vet check. Many of our puppies are flown out to other provinces and countries therefore many families never see their puppy until he/she arrives.
Everyone has been happy with their puppies so far.
If when you meet your puppy at his/her vet check or on pickup and are not satisfied then your full deposit will be returned to you. It has never happened yet.
For many years we enjoyed visiting with many families who would come out and visit and pick their pup, however due to the theft of 3 pups now right at the 8 week mark we have decided not to do this anymore. Not only is it risking our families safety to invite so many strangers to our home, it also endangers our puppies of coming in contact with Parvo Virus and other diseases brought in on people, car tires, ect.
We understand some people have concerns about trust when they cannot come out and see the pups, however the safety of our family is number one. The Wetaskiwin Animal Clinic has dealt with our dogs and pups for many years and can vouch for the care we give our animals.
We have been breeding since 2004 and have a good understanding of what qualities families are looking for in a dog. We help with the selection with pictures and details and our own opinion on what pup we feel may be the right match.
I (Karen) am not a vet. However I have been asked to share how we feed our dogs.
This is how I make it.
-In a crock pot soak a bag of pot barley in covered in water according to package over night.
- The next morning turn the pot barley on to cook with suficient water add a little basil,ginger,corriander,ennel seeds and a few table spoons full of coconut oil or flax seed oil. When almost cooked I add 1 dozen eggs to the mix in the crock pot mix well and continue to cook untill finished.
-In a seperate large pot put resh broccali ,caulilower,Turnip,zuccini,parsnips,carotts,apple,celery,sweet potatoe,kale.
cook until soft. I use a fair bit of water. (Raw vegetable are hard on a dogs digestive system.Never use onions)
I then mash it all with a potatoe masher well and then add my soggy cooked barley. Mix all together.Sometimes I add severel heaped TBS of organic dried kelp.
I freeze this is small sandwhich zip lock bags and put the little bags into a large freezer bag and freeze.This also works in Ice cube trays.
I then take my raw meat I purchase(whole ground turkey or chicken with bone and organ meat and tripe)This can be purchased at 'Complete k9' in Lacombe AB.Or you can purchase raw chiocken or Turkey patties at local pet stores like "Tail Blazers" They are a local health food pet store found in different cities like Red Deer,Calgary,,Edmonton ect.
Other local pet stores also carry raw.
Please note this is only a topper to add to your raw meat for extra nutrition and digestion. The main part of the meal is raw mixed in before feeding or if you are not comortable with raw you can also cook it.
