Our Breeding Methodology

The Puppy Culture program:

Puppy Culture is a socialization and training program specifically developed for puppies from birth through the end of their critical socialization period, with age appropriate protocols and lessons laid out in an organized format.

Definitions of acronyms used:

*OFA cleared: OFA stands for the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. An OFA Thyroid evaluation is one of four tests available to fulfill the health elective to obtain a CHIC number in Standard Poodles. 

*CHIC: CHIC is the acronym for the Canine Health Information Center.

SA: A test for OFA Sebaceous Adenitis, which looks for a hereditary disposition for a specific skin disorder.

NE: A test for Neonatal Encephalopathy, which pinpoints the possibility of a very rare spinal disorder.

Von Willebrand: The von Willebrand test rules out an inherited bleeding disorder. This disorder causes bleeding is due to the absence of the von Willebrand’s factor which is needed in the early stages of clotting.
