Falls Family Doodles

We have a special nursery where all of our puppies are born. It is a safe place that is set up so mom and babies are safe and secure. It is in our house and set up with a camera, tv and a sofa lounge so we can stay with mom until puppies get bigger. We are there with mom the whole time during the delivery. We have found that since our dogs are family pets they are calmer during delivery when we are there. This also helps us make sure everything is ok with mom and puppies. Puppies are handled from birth and learn from the beginning to love people. We spend the next several weeks weighing the puppies daily to insure they are eating well. They are taken to the vet for a check up within the first 3 days. At 4 weeks they go to the vet to be wormed for the first time. At 6 weeks they go back to the vet to get wormed a second time and get their first set of shots. At 7 weeks they go back to the vet to be cleared to go to their new homes at 8 weeks of age. All of our puppies go home with a sample of the food we feed and a blanket with their mothers scent on it. This blanket helps puppies settle in at their new homes.
