G.O.D.S. Farms

Our puppies are born in our heated sunroom in a puppy pool whelping box with a heat pad if necessary and clean, washable puppy pads that are changed regularly. Our mammas live in the house with us and receive good food and health supplements. They are all part of the family and the goings on of the day. Our mamas nurse free choice until the puppies are big enough to go out of the whelping pool by themselves. Then they have scheduled nursings every couple hours. We start rice cereal and goat milk about four weeks of age. Once they start this, our puppies go outside to play with us several times a day and are fed solid food 4 times daily. This is a gradual transition from nursing to solid food. They learn to go potty outside and are taught to behave properly with people, other dogs, and cats. They sleep in big exercise pens with clean, washable puppy pads that are changed daily. Their routine is eat, play, sleep, repeat! They are regularly dewormed and receive their shots at 8 weeks.
