Take a look around at how your baby is raised here at Hound House Farm.
We take great pride in the care we give our dogs and your new family member. I am a stay at home mom who devotes my time to the four legged fur babies around here. Our main concern is that their needs are always met and that they never lack attention. Take a look around our place, we sure hope you like what we do for the comfort of our dogs. When outside they have swimming pools for playing in, a mister system for hot summer days, lots of toys and plenty of room to romp, play and dig until their hearts are content. We also have separate pens that we can put them in if we need to run out and can’t keep an eye on them. This way everyone is safe when we are gone or if someone is breeding.

We are right with mom from start to finish when she is in labor, never leaving her side incase she needs us or just needs comforting.
Once the puppies are born they are handled several times a day. Even though their little eyes may not be open they still know we love them and we are here.
When they start crawling around that is when we introduce paper training to them, that way they get use to the feel of it. We do not rush taking them from mom, so when we feel they are ready we gradually start move them to the Puppy Play Area several times a day. This is where they start learning its okay to be away from mom for a while. They have a blanket, lots of toys, food, water and their potty papers. Once they start using the papers nicely we add a divider that has a walk through area so they get comfortable going in and out of the potty room.
When they reach 6 weeks of age and receive their first set of puppy shots if the weather permits we take them outside to the Puppy Play Pen a couple times a day so that they learn what grass and sun shine feels like. They love to romp and play in the yard and this gives them lots of exercise.
When they turn 7 weeks old we start them on collar and leash training. This way they are ready to go for walks when you get them home.
Our puppies are very well socialized with children, other dogs and cats as well. We are very committed to sending home sound, healthy, happy puppies that are ready to join your family.
We are always working hard, striving to make a difference for our Doxie Families, and we LOVE each and every minute!!
