About Our Puppies
At Cordial Cavaliers our goal is to raise puppies to be healthy, confident, easy-going companions. From a young age, each puppy is loved on by our entire family, adults and kids alike. They get to interact with all sorts of animals including cats and other dogs (both large and small). All of this is important for confidence building and setting up our puppies to be able to join their forever family without the added stress of lots of new things. All of our puppies are kept with their mom up until the day they go home at 9-10 weeks old. This ensures that the puppies can learn all that their mom can teach them, and helps them to interact and socialize with other dogs properly later on.
From birth until the time they go home, our puppies live in a large play pen in the center of our kitchen. Not only does this allow them to be surrounded by people all the time, they get exposure to all the noise and chaos of a busy family environment.
When they get older we include a large crate the puppies can sleep or play in whenever they like which helps them to build a positive association with the crate. They have a large litter box as well to assist in potty training. And of course- lots of toys, blankets, beds and boxes (puppies love to pile up in cardboard or wooden boxes or beds no matter how small :)
At 4 weeks old our puppies start being weaned on to solid food. We feed Viva Raw and Omas Pride to ensure they are getting all of the protein and vitamins and minerals they need for healthy growth and development. We firmly believe that health starts with diet and secondly environment and they truly are healthier because of it. A puppy fed a healthy whole food diet is going to feel really good and that’s what we strive for! We also include raw goat milk from our own goats which provides proper fatty acids and probiotics to help support digestion and boost immunity naturally. Plus, they absolutely love it! We don’t use any chemicals around (or on) our puppies to prevent allergies and sensitivities. This includes air-fresheners, flea and tick medications, chemical dewormers, chemical household cleaners and detergents.
At 5-6 weeks old our puppies start going outside for the first time. We have a large pen in the family yard with turf, a dog house, picnic table (where our our other Cavs like to lay to get away from tiny teeth) and a large tree for shade. Depending on the weather our puppies will spend several hours outside, running and playing with all of the older dogs.
Around this time we start grooming practice with our puppies and expose them to the nail grinder (safer and less intimidating than nail clippers), blowdryer, electric clippers, and water during bath time.
As our goal is healthy puppies, we strive to raise them as naturally as possible. Because of this, we have made the decision to not vaccinate any of our puppies. Instead, we give them Nosodes which is a holistic alternative. DAPP Nososdes provide protection against the core diseases that are Distemper, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza and Parvovirus. Puppies get 2 Nosodes a week starting at 6 weeks old and continued until they go home. If you still decide to vaccinate your pup we recommend waiting until 16 weeks to do so as this is when the vaccine becomes effective, as the mother’s natural antibodies have worn off. Vaccines should be given seperately (not combined) and given over the course of several weeks. After puppies have received their initial vaccines in the first year, they do not require any boosters or follow-up vaccines. For more information click here.
