The puppies from Ruby's litter last summer just turned 1. We received some great photos and notes from our Facebook page and via email. Just wanted to show you what a beautiful dog Reba Ruby has turned out to be! Can't believe she is a year old already! She has been such a joy - she has been out on our lake boat, road on a quad, and has traveled all over with us since we got her last August. Oh, and when we take her to play days at ABC in Fairbanks, she often gets to play [Read More]
Puppies explore their world by mouth. If you've got a puppy at home, you've undoubtedly removed a variety of items from their mouth, including your fingers and toes. When they are with their litter mates, puppies play by wrestling and nipping each other. It is natural to them to play with their humans in the same way. But what puppies don't know is how sharp their teeth are and how much those nips can hurt! Other dogs and litter mates teach puppies when they bite to hard by stopping play. If [Read More]
Potty training is one of the most frustrating parts of owning a new puppy. Young puppies haven't developed bladder and bowel control and often give little to no warning that they are getting ready to eliminate. We've worked with some basic crate training, which helps puppies develop a "den instinct." Puppies don't want to soil their den, but they don't immediately recognize that your whole house is their new den. Here are some of the top things you can do to make house/potty training your [Read More]
The pups are heading to new homes. It's exciting for everyone and a big change too! We encourage new puppy owners to think like a puppy. It takes some time for your new pup to settle in. For his or her entire life, they've been surrounded by 9 other puppies. Their mom (and grandparents) have been there. The same 2 people are caring for them. Sure they've had visitors and played with kids, but for short amounts of time. Everything is new for your puppy. While we try to expose our pups to as [Read More]
Here' the second part of our new puppy checklist. Again, we don't get compensation for any products recommended on this page. Grooming Brushes - We use a couple of different brushes on our dogs. For regular grooming, we use a natural bristle brush. We recommend brushing your dog once per week, more often if they are spending a lot of time in the field. Regular brushing has a couple of advantages. First it helps keep dog hair out of your house. Secondly, it's bonding time with your puppy. It [Read More]
