Each Pup is in Carlene White’s car and the house nearly everyday.  They are handled in a group and mixed with 6 or 8 other adult dogs.  The pups are often taken to a local fairgrounds to let them run as a group in an open field.  This is important because they learn to behave in a group, come when called, enter and exit the van when their name is called and they all learn the down command.

By six months the puppies are shuffled between 3 kennel areas.  These kennels are heated, have child beds and/or cribs to sleep on and a dining table where they eat within 3” of each other or an adult dog.  Food Aggression is just NOT ALLOWED.  Treats are given only by hand and to one dog at a time as their name is called. 

By one year they should be “Canine Good Citizens” with a firm base of obedience, both on and off the lead and they should accept anything the general public has to offer.

During the sorting period some pups may be sold or given away.
