During the 6th week of pregnancy, the puppy room will be set up and provided for the bitch, so that she can get used to her nest at an early stage.

The puppies spend the entire rearing phase always in the middle of the family. In the first weeks of life, my sleeping place is right next to the whelping box so that I can take care of the mother and her puppies at all times.

For the first 4 weeks the puppies live in a spacious whelping box and a spacious play area in our house.

From the 5th week, the puppy has the option to use the direct access to the garden, where they have the opportunity to realize some energy on a 300sqm-600sqm area. They will gain vital experience of the imprinting phases, this is of great importance.

The sleeping place is and remains throughout the rearing phase the litter box in our house.

A large outdoor playground with different surfaces (for example meadow, sand, wood, stone, water) and play equipment (for example, tunnel, puppy house, hanging / wobble bridge, straw bales, tree trunks, water bath) is now at the free disposal of the puppy. In this phase, different environmental stimuli are perceived by the puppies and are an important basis for good imprinting.

For a winter litter during the cold rainy season, all precautions were taken to play dry and warm in our winter camp to your heart's content. A large, roofed area is available to the puppy during this time.

Not only the playful familiarity with toys and climbing equipment is important to us, for a good embossing, but also any sounds.

Everyday in the house as well as in the garden (for example cooking sounds, dishwasher, vacuuming, telephone, doorbell, radio, mowers, cars / trucks / farm machinery, thunderstorms and much more).

The puppies are deliberately introduced to many other sounds, such as bursting a balloon, to rattling noises and much more.

From the beginning, we want to create the foundation for a long, healthy life through a balanced and species-appropriate diet. From the 3rd week our puppies will be introduced to goats milk with fresh meat, so that they will be fed from the 6th / 7th week with BARF.
