Puppies are handled throughout the day by myself. Although not necessary, once a day, I hand bottle feed formula from real ingredients (not powder) to further develop the human bond with the pups. They already know my smell well! The puppies are raised in my own bedroom in a huge 8×6 foot whelping box that I custom made from furniture grade quality wood for sanity and easy clean up. The pups stay in my room until 4 weeks of age, and are then moved to my family room downstairs where they will stay until released.I use a hospital grade baby scale to daily monitor weight gains in grams to assure all puppies are getting proper nutrition. I use the highest quality, puppy specific heat lamp, and an infrared digital thermometer to be sure the puppies are kept at the correct temperature.
