Puppy info...
Our puppies grow up in our livingroom and in our garden. Our other dogs (and cat)
also live with us in our house and not in kennels.
The puppies will be well socialized and raised according to a thorough, early
socialization program (the Puppy Culture program), and will be weaned on a good
quality raw meat. They will be dewormed when necessary (we have fecal tests
done by a vet), vaccinated once, titer tested and microchipped. Each puppy will
have an official DNA-profile certificate.
They also get a puppy temperament test at 7 weeks of age.
Our puppies are sold with an FCI pedigree, international passport, ownership
registration and DNA-profile certificate and a contract of sale. Puppies moving
abroad will receive an export pedigree and additional rabiës vaccination at a
minimum of 12 weeks and cannot leave to their new home before 3 weeks after
their rabiës shot, as is required by EU law.
We only breed with happy, healthy and sound beardies, free of hipdysplasia or
other known heritable diseases. We also only breed with dogs with an excellent
temperament and working ability, who are capable of performing well in herding,
agility, obedience or other activities. A beardie with a true working character
shows the ability to learn, is willing to cooperate, takes initiative, adapts to
different situations, forgets frustrations and is still happy to learn new things,
eager to follow the sometimes long training to become a really good working dog.
And of course he’s a loving familydog and true companion!
By importing dogs and using foreign studs, we hope to preserve as much genetic
diversity as possible in our breed. To avoid an inbreeding depression, we aim to
keep the average consanguinity in the Dutch population low.
