Tremendous Emphasis is put on Socialization:

​

Being a conscientious breeder is rooted in the time and attention given to the socialization of their puppies.  At LBL, it begins here with a loving, stress free environment for our mama dogs a week before the puppies are due so babies begin life in a peaceful manner.  We then invest lots of time preparing pups for their new home and the big wide world through: 

• Early Neurological Stimulation

• Daily touch, holding & loving 

• Sound desensitization to thunder, fireworks, barking, doorbells, sirens, traffic, airplanes and babies.

• Exposure to different textures, unstable surfaces, climbing & height

• Crate sleeping through the night

• Introduction to different people, children and other dogs

• Learning to "mand" or sit to politely ask for what they want 

• Bathing, blow drying, grooming clippers & brushing

• Potty training basics

Puppy Care with a 

Holistic Approach:

We are continually learning and improving our holistic care with our puppies.

Cleaning/Sanitizing: We have reduce exposure to environmental toxics with safe non-toxic cleaning protocols around our babies. 

Bathing: We use 100% USDA certified organic shampoo on the babies to ensure there are no harmful toxins on their skin. 

Deworming: We  employ a holistic approach to de-worming your puppy to reduce chemical products often used up to 4 times before they're 8 weeks old!

Vaccinations: Vaccinating your dog is important to protect them from debilitating and deadly diseases, BUT vaccines carry some of their own risks.  So here at LBL, we created the ACCU-VAC protocol to ensure our pups are not over vaccinated which can lead to side effects, autoimmune diseases and chronic health conditions. We test the "antibody levels" (titer) of our mama dog, which her pups inherit, our lab can predict the appropriate timing to begin & conclude the core vaccine regimen in her puppies.  To take things a step further, we use a DETOX protocol to help clear the vaccine toxins from their system without compromising the effectiveness of the vaccines. ​ 

Quality Nutrition:

Our philosophy is that providing  you with a healthy puppy isn't enough.  We do all that we can to provide you with a long-living dog through education.  As a Pet Food Nutrition Specialist, we understand that proper nutrition plays a vital role in your dog's health and longevity. We provide our puppies the best start possible with quality foods, rotation of types (raw, fresh, kibble), variety in animal proteins to avoid food allergies and flavor fatigue later in life, omega-3 fatty acids and immune boosting micro-nutrient supplementation. We then supply our puppy families with the information they need to support them in their dog's nutrition needs to provide them with the greatest level of vitality and health to live the longest life possible. We know you're going to fall head-over-heels in love with your LBL puppy and want her to be with as long as possible!
