About Blue

Our goal is to send home puppies who are already well-rounded, confident, and ready to thrive in their new homes. This makes the transition easier for both you and your pup! Starting as early as 2–3 days old, we begin regular nail trims—not just to prevent scratches while nursing, but also to ensure they're comfortable with lifelong grooming. At around 2 weeks of age, or as soon as their eyes begin to open, we introduce puppy pads into their whelping area to begin potty training. Puppies take to this very naturally, and within a week or two, accidents off the pads are rare. Once they’re ready to transition from the whelping pen, we introduce bells on the back door to teach them how to signal when they need to go outside. At 4 weeks, we begin crate introduction by giving them access to open crates so they can explore freely. By 6 weeks, they begin sleeping in small groups in crates at night, helping to create a smooth transition to nighttime crate training once they’re in your home. Throughout their time with us, the puppies are exposed to children, cats, the vet, loud household sounds like the vacuum and blender, and our other dogs. We also routinely handle their paws and ears to get them comfortable with being touched. We do everything we can to provide them with positive, enriching experiences early on—because we truly want them to have the best possible start to a happy, well-adjusted life.
