My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Bear! He was born on 9/9/24.

Mom was found by a rescue partner in North Dakota as a stray and pregnant. We took her in, got her set up in our whelping house, started her on a good quality food and supplements to support optimal health during pregnancy.

The puppies were born with us and Puppy Culture was followed.

What’s Puppy Culture?
❤️A program followed by top breeders and rescuers that includes Early Neurological Stimulation (stimulated parts of the brain improve neurological development and better cope with stress)!
❤️ Age appropriate training and socialization starting at 4 weeks
❤️ Conditioned Emotional Responses to new stimuli
❤️ Manding (but on ground 🟰 good things happen) to prevent jumping and promote impulse control
❤️ Introduction to 100 people before 8 weeks!
❤️ Introduction to 35 social dogs and observer many more!
❤️ Crate Training

Puppy Culture is a lot of work with 11 puppies, but the world needs more safe, confident, resilient, and happy dogs so putting in the time and effort at the appropriate time is worth it!

Thanks to a generous donor! Bear is a part of our "Home for the Holidays" campaign. A portion of his adoption fee has already been covered putting it down to $250.
