Here's the rhythm of life in our living room from whelp day to go-home day. We share weekly photo updates with everyone on the waitlist.
Whelping happens in our quiet whelping room. Abby is in the room from the first contraction; the vet is on speed-dial. Pups are weighed at birth, named with temporary colored collars.
Round-the-clock nursing. Pups double their birth weight. We handle each one daily for early neurological stimulation — small gentle touches, just like the breeders before us.
Tiny eyes blink open. They start to hear. We introduce gentle household sounds — the dishwasher, soft music, the kids reading.
Wobbly walking. First teeth come in. Their personalities start to show. Photos go to everyone on the waitlist.
Pups graduate to the bigger pen in the living room. They meet our older Mastiff (briefly, supervised). They taste their first soft food.
Approved homes can come meet the puppies. The kids do floor time. We start introducing crates, leashes, and stairs.
Dewormer and continued socialization — different surfaces, sounds, and gentle handling every day. Personalities are in full swing now.
Final pick order is confirmed in deposit order. We share each puppy's personality profile with you so we can match them right.
Vet exam and first round of vaccines, a final dose of dewormer, take-home folder, and a piece of the litter blanket. Then a long, gentle goodbye.
