 Important Notes on Puppy Development and Ethical Breeding:

The breeder places significant importance on puppy development and emphasizes the following key points:

1. Mental Stability and Extended Stay: The breeder insists on keeping the puppies until they are 10 weeks old to ensure they are mentally stable and well-socialized. This approach stems from the breeder's experience as a  

vet tech and dog trainer. 

   - Puppies are often released at 8 weeks, but the breeder believes this can lead to behavioral issues such as separation anxiety, aggression, and socialization problems. 

   - At 8 weeks, puppies go through a "fright period," where they may appear withdrawn or shy. The breeder has noticed significant behavioral improvements in puppies kept until 10 weeks, making them more social and confident when meeting new people.  The Breeder HAS TO BE the puppies Voice!

2. Warning About Early Puppy Release: The breeder strongly advises against purchasing puppies from breeders who release them too early (under 8 weeks). 

   - Consequences: Early separation can result in long-term behavioral problems likes severe separation anxiety and aggression. 

   - The breeder emphasizes the importance of doing research and choosing responsible breeders who prioritize the puppies’ mental and emotional development.

3. Breeder Education and Ethical Practices: 

   - The breeder highlights the importance of education in puppy development and breeding, such as using Early Scent Introduction (ESI) and Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), as well as desensitization techniques. 

   - The ad advises buyers to beware of breeders who play "the paper game"—selling puppies at different prices based on whether they come with certain registration papers (dual kennel club papers, for example). Reputable breeders, according to this ad, will offer all necessary papers without charging extra.

   - Buyer Advice: The breeder stresses the importance of choosing a responsible and educated breeder, warning against those who prioritize profits over the well-being of the puppies. A dedicated breeder will spend nearly all their time with the puppies, ensuring they are well cared for and properly socialized.
