| HOME All of our pups are raised in our home. Right under our noses, so we can keep a very close eye on them. They are naturally socialized by the time they leave us. Ours is a busy household, with other dogs, people coming and going and all the usual hustle and bustle. We have many friends and often they stop to see us. This exposes the pups (after they are old enough) to different people. They are picked up, held, played with and loved on a lot. VETERINARIAN CARE Our pups are delivered via c section and checked by our vet at least twice before they leave us. No pup is allowed to leave here until they have been seen by my vet and found to be healthy. They receive age appropriate shots and de-wormings too. Mommas and daddy's get yearly exams. HOUSE TRAINING Ever been to a pet store and seen all those cute pups behind the glass? Ever notice what is beneath them? A tray, to catch waste with a grate on top of it. In other words, they eat, sleep, play and potty all in the same small area. It is not only pet stores that do this. At Prairie Lane our pups are contained for sure. It is not safe to allow babies free range all over the house. Someone may get stepped on or decide that a lamp cord is a great chew toy. However, they are contained in a large area with a designated potty area at one end, away from where they eat and sleep. We also place huge exercise pens in the yard when the weather is nice. We take the babies out frequently and encourage them to go potty. I get lots of email's from buyers stating the pup only had an accident or two and then understood to go outside or in a litter box or on papers, whatever you prefer. It is physically impossible for any young puppy to hold it for hours. Do not expect it. If you find a breeder claiming their pups are house trained or crate trained, ask them to define trained to you. To me it means I can go away for 8 hours with a dog either in a crate or in my house and not come home or wake up to any messes. No pup can do this. They are simply too young. The key to breaking your pup is persistence, patience, commitment and getting your puppy from a place where he is not forced to eliminate where he sleeps and eats. Pups who must go where they sleep are difficult if not impossible to house train and grow up to be "dirty". EXPERIENCE I have been raising dogs since I was in my 20's. I am in my 40's now. Been around for a long time. Along the way I have had some excellent guidance. Dr. D. Nickleson, DVM. She was always willing to offer me suggestions and solutions. Linda D. Vet Assistant, groomer, small animal nutritionist and breeder. A pragmatic woman with a wealth of knowledge she shared with me. L. Duren, breeder, exhibitor of some wonderful dogs and uncanny in her intuitiveness when it came to canines. M. Kochs, compassionate, loving, detail orientated and outspoken breeder who passed away several years ago. I miss her still. S. Meril, bulldog breeder extraordinaire, a wizard with genetics and knowledge of these difficult to breed breeds. L. Glynn, breeder, exhibitor and never afraid to tell you what is right and wrong. His code of ethics were rock solid. Dr. J Sears, DVM. My vet who is not only a superior clinical canine vet but holistic as well. She always has time for my questions and is never further away than a phone call. I cannot list everyone here but those are my top people. In addition I was a Vet Assistant for many years and a Professional Groomer with a large clientele of difficult (for one reason or another) dogs. HEALTH Last, but never ever least, health. That means in body and mind. No matter what a dog looks like, if he or she is pointed or has produced champion offspring, we only breed the dogs that are healthy in body and mind. Every breed has an AKC standard for looks and one for temperament. We adhere to both. Just one of the benefits of a purebred is that you can count on a certain frame of mind if you go with a good breeder. French Bulldogs and even more so, English Bulldogs must be bred by people who are committed to health. Both breeds are wonderful and can live long and healthy lives. We own several generations of dogs here and all are healthy. At Prairie Lane you can find a beautiful pup with the personality and demeanor that is correct for its breed.
