I am creating and raising best friends, family members, heart healers. I don't take that responsiblity lightly. If you're here, you understand the power of a dog. There is something magical about the bond between a human and their dog. It's a heart connection that stays with us much longer than the lifespan of a dog. Our heart dogs ingrain their very souls onto our hearts and we continue to tell stories about their love for us well after they have passed away (because dogs never, ever live long enough). I truly believe it is an honor and a privilege to create puppies that are empowered to become heart dogs for their special someone. I am creating puppies that know how to love their person with an unfailing faithfulness and willingness to please that will make each and every one of them someone's lifelong favorite.
So, I have taken the Empowered Breeder Oath and would love to share some of it with you:
Plan Litters- Have a goal, focus, and mission. Do not overpopulate, only meet demand and supply.
Parent Standards- Breed only health, temperament and structure-tested parents. Do not overbreed. Choose breeding pairs that accentuate each other in health and temperament.
Parent Care- Honor and respect your dams and sires at all times to keep them healthy and happy. Provide a safe, enriching environment with high-quality vet care, living quarters, food etc
Puppy Curriculum- Provide a structured curriculum to ensure that puppies learn the world is safe, people are kind and dogs are friendly
Puppy Development- Guide, shape and mold puppies based upon critical learning periods, constantly evaluating and adjusting, to strengthen confidence, nerve strength and startle recovery. Empower puppies to be the best they can be. Do not enable them.
Lifetime Responsibility- Take responsibility for every puppy you produce for the entirety of its life and provide a minimum two-year contract.
Client Community- Educate your clients, both new and old, and build a cohesive, active community. Be open to feedback, both positive and negative.
Love- Love your dogs, love your puppies, love your clients, and change the stigma. Be a "badass breeder" or stop breeding.
Your Mission- Stay true to the reason why you breed. Help others and make sure you have fun and enjoy the journey! Let's change the world and heal hearts and save lives through the power of a dog. Together we are better.
