When puppies reach 4 weeks old we begin to introduce them to new situations and environments. Between 4 and 5 weeks we begin individual time with each puppy in learning situations such as following directions and retrieving. Each day something new is added and as the puppies grow the activities become more advanced. We belive this makes a well balanced, bold, and adaptable dog that knows how to learn and react to new situations. During this time we also work on their hunting skills by exposing them to quail ealry and often. We suggest you keep up the training when they go to their new homes
We train and get titles on our dogs to prove their qualities but those titles are also an indication to puppy buyers that the breeder spends time with their dogs and does not just use them as a puppy producing machines. If you want a companion dog, a show dog, or a hunting dog, they are a part of your family for many years, always be careful and choose a reputable breeder there are many good breeders out there. Dogs with good pedigrees and health checks can be overbred and treated like livestock so never be embarassed to ask questions.
