A Great Start--How We Raise Our Puppies
We only breed on a limited basis, no more than once a year generally, and only with an eye to producing the best quality bearing in mind the strengths and weaknesses of our cherished companion dogs. All of our dogs are house dogs, living closely with us and very much involved in our daily life. When we do have a litter, our puppies are raised in the kitchen, where we put up a whelping box when the mother is due. In this way, our puppies are in the center of the house where they are exposed to the sights, scents and sounds of an active household with the sounds of television, stereo, dishwasher, microwave and vacuum. We socialize our puppies with young kids, teens, the elderly and people with disabilities, before they go to their new homes. In particular, we utilize the proven superdog conditioning used by the military as well as guide dog and assistance dog trainers, known as ENS training. ENS has a monumental effect on the stability, recovery from stress and mental well-being of a puppy, carrying forward into its adult years. We began this method of puppy raising on recommendation of our reproductive vet;, also a breeder and exhibitor. Yutori puppies bounce back from a scare in seconds, and approach new and potentially scary situations with a calm and confident air that is exceptional. An independent litter evaluator told us after testing our first litter for conformation and temperament, that this was the most consistent and stable litter of any breed that she had ever evaluated. We will continue using this method of conditioning and imprinting in all future Yutori litters.
