About Teresa
Hello Friends!
My name is Teresa. I am a proud mom of 3 amazing kids, ages 21, 11 and 7. I live in a small rural town called Farmington, about 30 minutes south of St. Paul Minnesota.
I am an animal lover of all kinds. I grew up on a small hobby farm in a rural part of Minnesota, about 10 miles from where I am currently living. Playing with neighborhood kids was not an option very often when I was little, so my brothers, sister, and I spent our time playing with and taking care of horses, pigs, cats, and dogs.
I grew up with the love for them and that love has carried into my adulthood. I have been breeding my dog babies for about 10 years now, and I limit the liters to one a year. I am not a puppy mill, pumping out baby after baby. This kind of practice is horrific and a tragedy. I am pleased to see that States are stepping up and requiring these places are licensed and inspected regularly to limit animal abuse and unnecessary deaths.
I choose to breed to allow my children to develop the love of animals and to teach them about the cycle of life. I teach them about the development of the embryos and the changes that are occurring in our bitch during the whelping process. I love that I can teach them about life and what a miracle every life on this planet is. The miraculous development of all the tiny cells that must come together just at the right time to make us, make a puppy, a cat, a bug to a snake. It's all a miracle and we must take care of the lives of all living species out there, especially the ones that cannot protect themselves. I use the conception of these puppies to teach them how precious and delicate our lives are.
All our puppies are born into this world in a warm loving home, they are never caged or kenneled. They all get to snuggle into our beds as they get older. They go on daily walks after the age of 5 weeks and will come accustomed to the world, the noises, the people, kids, and other dogs.
They are taught to potty on a puppy pad and will go home with this training well in the works (I didn't say that they are perfect every time, but they will go home with the knowledge of puppy pads are where they are supposed to go. My floor is also covered with pads, so it's hard for them to go on anything other than a pad. This area gets reduced each week they get older). My bitches never have more than three pregnancies in a lifetime as I will not risk her health or the health of the puppies to do have her carry more than that.
Our puppy’s health is checked just after birth and again at 6-8 weeks when they get their first round of shots and another review of their health to ensure a long life with their forever family.
