Breeding dogs is a serious process that takes a lot of knowledge and a good plan to produce great dogs. We breed dogs to produce healthy, intelligent puppies that will have good temperaments and the potential to excel as field trials, hunt tests, or hunting dogs. All puppies will come from genetically sound titled breed stock carefully chosen to pass on desired traits. All puppies will conform to AKC breed specification. Many people attempt to breed dogs to produce specific colors, inbreed dogs for special characteristics, or crossbreed to produce “designer” animals such as Labradoodles, or “silver and charcoal labs”. These people are only trying to make money and do not have the best interest in the animals in mind. Most of these dogs will not compete in any organized AKC events and the puppies that result usually have health issues, genetic defects, or do not confirm with breed standard. Like the old saying goes “You get what you pay for”. Anyone can breed two dogs and produce puppies. Many people do this and attempt to make some money, but most of these dogs have never had any health clearances performed and are not working dogs from good breeding stock.
At Churn Creek Retrievers we
have been fine tuning our breeding and puppy rearing program for several
years. Current psychological thinking suggests puppies go home on the 49
day after birth. This is because of changes in the brain function and
stages of learning the puppy goes through. During the first 7 weeks of
life, puppies will be introduced to everything they will encounter in
life. This is an important time in a puppy’s development and can have a
dramatic effect on how successful a puppy will be as it grows. Our
program includes early neurological stimulation, introduction to people and small
children, large groups of people, loud noises including gun fire, introduction
to other dogs, water, and birds. The puppies will begin to eat
supplemental food in the second week and will be eating solid puppy food prior
to going to the new homes. Puppies will be introduced to pigeons in the 5th
week and will be retrieving live pigeons before the 7th week.
Weather permitting they will be introduced to water during the 6th
and 7th week. All puppies will have dewclaws removed, receive
vaccinations, preventative deworming medication, microchips and will be
certified to be in good health by a veterinarian at time of pickup.
We are
not a puppy mill or breeding facility that mass produces puppies. We do not plan to have more than 1 or 2
litters each year. When you purchase a
