How We Raise Our Puppies

At Johnson’s Poodles & Labs we strive to raise the kind of pup you want to have forever!

We take many steps to ensure that our pups come from healthy, happy, well-rounded parents with great temperaments.   Our parents are registered with AKC and/or CKC organizations and have great pedigrees.  Each breeding parent is DNA tested by Embark to screen for genetic diseases and found clear before breeding.  Although, we sometimes use male studs from other breeding facilities, we always maintain these standards.

We raise the pups in our home with daily handling as well as exposure to objects, sounds, and smells that will prepare them for their future families.

We use Early Scent Introduction to identify which pups have an early great curiosity for smells, which can help in placing puppies that will be future hunters or possibly even service dogs.

We use Early Neurological Stimulation to teach them that the world is an interesting place and not to be fearful of new experiences. 

We use quality food, Diamond Naturals Lamb & Rice formula,  and vitamins by NuVet and would be happy to tell you our experiences with both!
