Litters are raised in our home and are exposed to all aspects of our daily life.  In the first few weeks puppies are socialized within our immedieate family (human and dogs), a necessary step to protect both mother and babies from outside health hazards. When the puppies are old enough we encourage new family visits for scheduled play dates.  From day 3 to 16 days old (a time of rapid neurological growth and development), Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) exercises are performed which are proven to enhance the development of  a puppy.  At a later stage, bite inhibition techniques are introduced in order to help reinforce appropriate mouthing behaviours.  Puppies develop in a custom built activity centre to play with toys and interact with, experiencing different surfaces and structures to walk on and tunnels to play in.  Early exposure to sounds of daily living include radios, T.Vs, other adult dogs, banging pots and pans, vacuum cleaning, grinding of coffee beans and even the occasional noise of a power tool!  We also take full advantage of our large property and take our litters on a trail ride for a fun outdoor experience. Our goal is to give our puppies the healthiest, happiest and most beneficial start in life.  In support of these goals, we have invested in commercial steam cleaning equipment for the maintenance and disinfection of our puppy pens, bedding and articles without the use of harsh chemicals.

As our puppies mature we continually examine their development, observing temperaments to assist us in determining the best fit between puppies' personalities and their adopting families' lifestyles.  This includes structural evaluations for conformation showing & performance prospects and social attributes for possible support/therapy initiatives.  Our puppies receive ongoing handling, and grooming (nail trimming, bathing, exposure to hair dryers, brushing/combing, etc.). This helps familiarize pups with lifelong necessary routines.  All our puppies receive soft exposures to crates in the early weeks to aid the transition of puppies to crating in their homes.  A final beauty parlor session of bathing and trimming has your new Charbr baby looking their best for that ever-so-special homecoming day!

Our puppies are available to approved homes at approximately 8-9 weeks of age.
