We believe Mother Nature knows best and we treat our dogs the way she intended! By feeding a proper prey model diet fit for the carnivore that they are, and use the least invasive treatments and products on our dogs, we do just that. The less interference and assaults we place on our pets the healthier they are! The proof is in the pudding….our lines have proved dogs living well into their teens ...some as old as 16 1/2 !!:) Our dogs are a huge part of our family. We place significant emphasis on early socialization and development to ensure a sound stable lifelong companion whom is enjoyable to take anywhere! Our puppies are raised in our home amongst the hustle and bustle and chaos of everyday life. The more time we spend giving our puppies an excellent beginning ... the easier transition they have to their new forever homes. We educate our prospective puppy applicants on proper nutrition and vaccine protocols. The importances of these areas of pet care are sometimes overlooked, causing confusion as to which direction to head in.
We pride ourselves on raising healthy dogs in mind and body and to that end we have an extensive puppy raising protocol that we follow when we are rearing a litter. Our dogs are raised as though they are going to become future service dogs regardless if they are going to be working dogs or family companions. We believe that a carefully planned out socialization and early training program is what makes our dogs superior companions. Many hours of care, training and love go into raising a litter and for this reason we are extremely fussy about the homes our puppies go to. Our future puppy buyers must agree to raise their puppy using the very best and latest information available regarding positive training methods (clicker training is preferred), diet (we prefer and recommend a prey model diet), and forward thinking medical care ( minimal to no vaccines and no pesticide applications of flea and tick medication). We are happy to educate and assist you in finding resources in each of these areas so that you can continue the work we have done and enjoy your companion for many years to come. We have found that paying attention to these details will give your dog the best chance for a long and healthy life.
So in a nutshell, we are very proud of our pack, and take pride in our breeding program. Starting with the best stock available, utilizing early development and searching for the ideal homes is only the beginning of our duty to you as a responsible breeder. We offer a lifetime of advice and friendship as an added bonus!! :) If you are interested further about the process of acquiring a Zen puppy, please fill out our questionnaire and/or email us.
