This breeding was just amazing. After many
years of me not being successful to get my girls
pregnant, this was just the most dream-state
experience for all of us at my home, but to me,
it was the highlight of many years of hoping
and wishing. Working with Z’s owner, Janice,
was also so easy and she was so supportive,
and to top that off I got to raise these puppies
with Puppy Culture, and watch how smart they
were.
All were raised inside of our home.
I slept in the room where they were
at, at 1st with mom and puppies
with me right nearby their whelping
box and then we moved them into the living
room where I slept on the couch. We raised
these well-adjusted puppies following “Puppy
Culture” program from birth to 9 weeks.
My husband and I also did neurological
stimulation from day 3 on. You can view these
exercises here. These Z ex Emerald puppies
were the center of attention until they went to
their selected homes at 9-10 weeks old.
Regular nail trimming done by my husband and
began a few days after they are born to help
them get used to their feet being handled.
Once they are old enough, we took them
outside several times a day for playtime with
adults, visitors, and young adults, sometimes
children. We taught them sitting exercises,
and they have learned their names for coming
to us. We make sure they hear the sounds of
traffic going by, pans being dropped, sirens,
gun shots via YouTube, Thunder via Youtube to
get them used to loud sounds. I brush them
regularly so that they get used to that
sensation. Before going home, they have had
several baths. Bearded Collies are smart and
many of them have learned where to potty,
whether outside while we are playing or inside
on a large area that gets cleaned often. They
will have had several trips to the vet for various
visits.
Puppies are expected May 9
