A:  I don’t care what other breeders say.  Puppies at 8 weeks aren't really "trained" for anything.  They will be socialized with other dogs and kids (lots of each).  The pups will be handled every day, and I'll do everything I can to stimulate their developing minds and instincts.  They'll play a little wing-on-a-string and see a couple of live birds.  I call this exposure, if you want to call it training, so be it.  I'll do my best to have them accustomed to doing their business outside, but they won't be house broken.

A:   We send our pups home at 10 weeks.  We will use the extra two weeks to help crate train them.  We will divide the liters in half until they are sleeping in individual crates.  We hope this makes your life easier.
