BMK puppies are whelped in our conservatory which has two, toughened glass doors opening onto our farmhouse kitchen. Among the very first sounds and sights they experience are those of a busy family household and the rest of the pack.

Our pups are handled daily by ourselves and the children, imprinting human scent and voice, kindling the natural desire for human companionship which develops into loyalty and the desire to please and ultimately to work.

When the Dam is relaxed about the presence of the rest of the pack (which is usually from 2 - 3 weeks) the pups are gently introduced to our other dogs. This early experience allows the pack to welcome the new members and know their scent. Pups benefit hugely by this early education in canine communication, good manners and appropriate behaviours.

At the age of 4-5 weeks, the puppies are ready to meet visitors to the house including other children and babies. Characters are forming and personalities emerging. It is endless fun and fascination to watch them from now on.

When the puppies are 7 weeks old they are assessed using the Vollhard Puppy Aptitude test. It has been proven that this is the age to best obtain a glimpse of the mature dog. From the tests we are able to confirm the characters and behaviours we have been watching over the last few weeks. By the time the puppies are ready to go to their new homes at 8 weeks old we have a very good idea about levels of dominance, prey drive, persistance, independance, confidence, courage etc. We find this invaluable when helping people select a puppy to suit them.
