                                     This is simply trial and error for 20 years
                 We monitor food recalls , updates and prices. This will reflect current status
               A 7 week old puppy does NOT need the same nutrients requirements as a Senior
                            Click dog food < and see where your food lies in quality

Adult Dogs  1  to 7  Yrs  Females      Triumph Dog food All Natural NO Corn What or Soy
We increase intake by adding raw organ meet in winter to gain winter fat for outside dogs.

                                     Mircochips all pups are Avid Chipped See below for link
Notes :We do not believe in over vaccinating -over loading the puppy with tons of shots it may not need.
However we have NEVER lost a puppy to any disease and we want to keep it that way
IF you have Lepto, Corona ,Lyme in your area then after the pup gets to you please vaccinate for these.
You will have have to get shots every 3 weeks until 16 weeks 2-3 sets after you get a young puppy.
Last minute pick up is not allowed unless the Vet Visit is done....
                                                       House Breaking Tips
These pups are born in the house and moved outside with livestock at a later date.
Because without the full time socialization around humans they do not able to function in today's homes.
So they are bedded down on shavings inside the house and in the barn.
So taking a few shavings into one area will help them find one spot they should go into.
We use newspapers and wee wee pads inside the house and they start using them as early as 4 wks.
    At 5 weeks they start using the doggie door to go outside on to the deck and 6 wks to the farm.
So a doggie door is recommended for Pet owners to make life easier .
Only draw back is in our Winter litters the pups don't see grass thus they have a habit of picking the back deck vs the grass until they know what grass is.
NEVER yell at your CAS pup or hit it with a rolled up paper. You break that trust you will never regain it.
Just use your happy voice all the time and when they do something wrong say WHAT DID YOU DO?
They know the tones of your voice well and will pick up on it.
                                                                 Spay ~ Neuter:
                                          Females recommended 9 months to 12 Months
                               Can do as early as you wish not early that 9 months is preferred .
                                    Unless a situation arises that a unplanned litter is at risk.
                   All our Pet Females sold are required to be Spayed _ unless otherwise specified.
Neuter we do NOT require yo to neuter your male-=
                                           Co Contracts on Breeding dogs: ?
                                               We DO NOT require you to ever breed the dog.
                                  We DO NOT require you to give the dog back to us for breeding.
    It Does allow you to fix the dog any time you wish or keep intact & show the dog to a stud position.
                                                  With few exceptions lost lines etc.
You must complete the list of proving the dog before breeding.
For females u must have buyers before you breed and you must have room to take them back.
And time to talk to them like I do for u. I do not have the time to spend more on the tel with other litters than my own.  Contract statest clearly  you own the dog & take fully legal responsibility for it.
The  only part we co own is the reproduction. not the pups that come out of the breeding.
But we picked you to breed our dogs cause you will be carefull to protect our lines.

If you dogs wind up in shelters I will refuse to SIGN any future breedings.

DO NOT LET THEM OFF LEASH THEY CAN AND WILL GET HIT BY CARS






















              




























Back
All pups are chipped at FF
Personal Notes :  Remember there is NO reason you can not call me .
You need help with the pup or the pup has to come back because for whatever the reason.

Don't want to call me because  you think I  wont understand?
Look Ive had dinner with a President of a Bank a friend in the Village dressed in drag.
Their is NOTHING that could happen  that will make me judge you or surprise me.
As long as my dog is well cared for that is.

I am here for you 24-7 same farm - same telephone ,  same hubby for 20 years im not going any where.

But know this you dump my dog in a shelter or give it away
An I promise I will HUNT you down get the dog back  + make you PAY for the stress you caused my pup & me.
Up to including suing you for everything you got & more.
The award  minus expenses will be donate to Angie at Ovcharka rescue.

And some say I can be a  bitch, I am a Native New Yorker we will give you the shirt off our back as evident  on 9-11 we also willing to throw down any time someone wishes to get jiggy with it. It is called survival mode- High defense drive , think the dogs are tough - wait to you see me in gear.

So love my dogs like their are your own kids and we should be just fine.
Would rather have my dogs killed out working that shot by hunters when unfenced.
