| We are a Christian home schooling family with eight children. We live on a 7-1/2 rural acreage nestled in the scenic, rolling hills of Holmes County, Ohio. Our little farm is complete with some wooded acreage, a pond stocked with fish, a large vegetable and herb garden, a few chickens, goats, a pony, and of course, our four-legged canine friends! Having animals to care for is an excellent way for children to learn responsibility, and this was one of our goals - to teach our children to be responsible, and to learn to work together as a family unit. Our family is basically all involved in this operation - from the older ones who help with the training and grooming of the dogs and general upkeep of the kennels, to the younger ones who love to romp and play with the puppies/dogs! Our ultimate goal is to provide a nice, healthy puppy according to AKC standard for pet and show quality. We are especially concerned about temperaments in the puppies. We also do OFA health clearances on our dogs, and all of our puppies receive a thorough examination by our veterinarian before leaving for their new homes. We have a large, indoor heated/air-conditioned kennel, complete with outdoor provisions for the dogs. Raising a litter of puppies requires a lot of hard work, time and energy! After a litter of puppies are born, we keep a 24 hour check on them. And being raised with our children, they are handled daily and receive hours of socialization, which we feel is very important in the life of a puppy in helping it to grow up to be the kind of adult that will be enjoyed for many years. If you are not familiar with training and raising a puppy, we highly recommend "puppy kindergarten" classes or "obedience classes" for your new puppy. This will be a tremendous help to you in teaching your dog to be a respectable canine citizen. |
