The puppies are born in a whelping box in our living room. They remain in the box for the first three weeks after birth. Once the puppies become more agile and their eyes and ears are open, they begin to perceive their surroundings more and more. From this point on, they need more space and exercise, so we replace the whelping box with a separate puppy run/play area in our living room. This allows the puppies to participate in our daily life, become familiar with everyday noises, children, and other dogs. At around three weeks old, the puppies receive high-quality puppy dry food in addition to their mother's milk.

From the age of four weeks, the puppies can be visited by their new families by prior arrangement. At this point, the final decision is made as to which puppy will go to which new family. We are happy to advise the owners during this final decision, as it is important to us that the puppy's personality is a good fit for its new family. The puppies and we, of course, enjoy regular visits where the puppies can be cuddled and we can discuss any questions the new owners may have. When the puppies are five weeks old, they can explore our garden via direct access. This allows them to become familiar with different surfaces. It is important to us that the puppies are always cared for not only by their mother but also by us. Therefore, someone is always with them to lovingly look after them.
