When we breed it is done after careful consideration of the health, temperament, & conformation of the sire & dam of each litter.
Mothers-to-be receive routine veterinary checkups and careful monitoring throughout the pregnancy and when they do go into labor I do not leave their side no matter what time of the day or night it is.
Our puppies are handled from the moment they enter the world and are much loved members of our family, they are handled multiple times throughout the day and are very well socialized. In addition to the usual household noises we also expose our puppies to other noises IE: fireworks, construction equipment, doorbells, etc via a socialization CD. They also begin crate training, walking on a leash, some basic manners and riding in a car.
Pet puppies do not leave us until after 9 weeks of age, all puppies going to pet homes are spayed/neutered prior to leaving. Breeding puppies are sold on co-ownership until after they have received a CHIC number, they do not leave us until after 4 months of age.
We aim to breed the best Beagles we can, not just to produce puppies, but to better our breeding program and the breed as a whole. Our goal with each breeding is to produce a puppy that is as good or better than the parents, not just a puppy with one outstanding trait, but with overall balance; no faults, excellent temperament, and picture perfect health.
We simply will not sacrifice health or temperament for conformation. There is no excuse for that here, a dog or bitch who does not produce healthy, well tempered puppies will not remain in our breeding program. We do not breed for the next Best In Show Winner; we breed for overall balance in health, temperament, & conformation. With that said, we would also like to say that we believe there is no such thing as a perfect dog; however it should be every breeder's goal to produce that perfect dog! We believe you can see our dedication in the quality of our puppies!
Before each puppy leaves us, it has been well cared for, socialized, and loved. The puppy does not go to it's new owner as a trained, well-mannered, finished product! It is up to you to complete the job we have started. You are responsible for the further development of the puppy's personality through structured discipline, training, guidance, & love.
We are devoted to every dog we produce for their ENTIRE lives. If for any reason after you acquire a dog from us, you cannot keep it - we will take it back no matter what the reason is! We never want to see or hear of a dog we produced ending up in a shelter, rescue or unwanted as they are always welcome back here!
