about-us.jpg

Located in beautiful southern coastal California, we are highly dedicated to raising and loving American Eskimo dogs and puppies. We provide a loving family home environment. We provide AKC and/or UKC registered toy, miniature and standard size American Eskimo puppies. Our puppies make ideal canine companions for most any type of household. They truly are the ideal dogs. Our dogs live inside our home and are our family members. Our puppies are raised in the heart of our home, socialized to both our 2-legged and 4-legged family members as well as routine household noises, events and people. This gives them the required socialization to acclimate into healthy and happy puppies.

All of our dogs and puppies receive routine health care. We prioritize the health, wellbeing and temperament of our American Eskimo family. All our dams (puppy mothers) receive routine health checks along with two prenatal health checks, an ultrasound and an X-ray by a licensed Vet. We do this to ensure the good health of the mother and her respective puppies. Providing our respective families with a healthy pup begins even before the puppy is conceived.  

During the neonatal stages and continuing through the human socialization stages, each puppy will spend time bonding with their siblings and mother before their respective adoption day. We provide tons of love, high quality food and treats, ample enrichment, socialization, and playtime for the puppies. We begin puppy pad and outdoor potty training at approximately 28 - 35 days to facilitate an easier transition on adoption day. This helps you, the new pet parent, with potty training using one or even both methods. Did I mention cleanliness? We keep our babies clean, clean, clean! It is critically paramount to keep them and their environment hygienic and sanitary.  

Our puppies visit the Vet before adoption day for a thorough wellness exam, in addition to receiving their DHPP vaccination. You are provided with the health check/vaccination records. We microchip each puppy before adoption day as it is a critical safety measure for responsible pet ownership that we believe starts right here, at their first home. Rest assured that our commitment to raising wonderful pups is our complete priority as they deserve the best - always.

We feed our puppies Blue Buffalo Homestyle canned food (made and sourced in the USA) twice daily. Additionally they will free feed on Blue Buffalo Life Protection dried kibble throughout the day. For treats, we provide single ingredient Bully sticks for chewing and to assist in teething. Our adult dogs also go bonkers for the frozen Raw dog food toppers that are nutrient and protein dense. Optimum nutrition helps ensure the healthiest pups along with their respective brain development.  

 

Our adult dogs enjoy a combination of Blue Buffalo Homestyle Food and Food For Dogs meals along with healthy snacks like kale, carrots, celery, lettuce, bell peppers and plain eggs - an eskie favorite. We love to treat our dogs by providing special custom meals (check out our Recipes.) We always use organic veggies, wild salmon, organic turkey, organic chicken or organic beef. It is necessary to supplement up to 4-5 times a dams normal diet when she is nursing her pups. We do this as we include healthy proteins, omega 3's and probiotics for her. Our puppies are always a very healthy weight because we monitor them and mom closely. 

Weaning is a natural process here. The pups usually start their 'puppy gruel' around week 3-4 and are typically fully weaned about week 7 weeks. We love that she provides nutritiously and antibody dense rich milk to her pups along with the loving bonding that they enjoy for as long as possible. (We love sharing pics with you of our pups with their respective mom as there is nothing sweeter really.) We never separate them before it is recommended by our vet. Again, we are wholly dedicated to the care and well-being all the time of our furry family. 

Each puppy is brushed and combed frequently as part of our socializing. We begin trimming (using both the guillotine and puppy nail dremel) their nails at about 5 weeks and thereafter as needed. We do teeth brushing before adoption day and you will receive your puppy's toothbrush in your Puppy Pack. 

Additionally, we also take our our puppies for car rides, incrementally, for about 5-6 hours. We do this so that they will be able to eat on any travel day very successfully. Most breeders won't feed their pups on travel day because they skip this car training. It is so important to us that our pups not be hungry on travel days. We hand-socialize each precious puppy to ensure the transition for them, and you, is easy.  Because most of our pet-parents plan to crate train, we begin incremental crate training sessions here to help ease the transition to the nighttime crate-training at your home. 
 

We have do genetic testing for 207 health risks for our girls.  We are very excited to be able to be able to provide that information to you. We have begun even more extensive testing as well as recommended by the AKC. Our goal is to bring the finest representation of the breed standard, as defined by the AKC, to you.

 

Lastly, we never, ever "sell" our puppies on sites like Craigslist, Facebook, or via any other 2nd party broker or breeder like backyard breeders and puppy mills. We are one place only and that place is right 'here' for you.  

 

We strive to be the epitome of a "responsible breeder." We take the time to get to know each pet parent and like that our prospective pet parents get to know us. We value our relationships with our families that adopt from us.  

Our Mission Statement:  Each puppy we bring into the world deserves the utmost care and devotion. We help fulfill a wonderful beginning with the best care. Our first priority is their wellness - always.
