We all know this is about the puppies! Who can resist a fur ball?
About Us
Just 2 dog trainin', plant propagatin', tea makin', dog treat bakin' Chicago girls transplanted to Florida having fun sharing what we learn...oh yeah we breed hypoallergenic dogs now too!
Join us on our journey as we raise our beloved family pets; 4 puppies and 3 guardians joined our pack of 2 in October to November of 2022. Then we added a Labrador in 2023 and a Mini Poodle in 2024. A little nuts? Sure! We love it though! Ever met those people who would rather spend time with pets than people? We are those weirdos who go to a party and end up sitting in the laundry room with the pets instead of mingling with the guests.
Our Program
Our breeding program features hypoallergenic dogs of every size and color. To ensure the breed, we've started our own Labrador lines and will soon be adding our own Golden Retriever lines as well. We have Labrador Retriever, Goldendoodle, Labradoodle, Mini and Standard Poodle. We have over 20 years' experience with dog training, raised multiple foster puppies, and have been blessed with a lifetime of loving many family pets. Our Standard and Mini Poodles are AKC registered, our Doodles come from Champion lines, and our Labrador is from a long line of service animals and hunting champions.
We follow the guidelines set out by Animal Behavior College, which we studied for our dog training skills. We also use Early Scent Introduction (ESI) and Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) techniques to help the puppies progress during these key developmental times. All of our puppies have basic obedience, leash, crate, and potty training foundations. New videos are often posted to demonstrate our techniques so you can continue to build on these foundations. We often find the training protocols on a free app "Pupford" to coincide with our methods and highly recommend the use of that app.
Vaccinations, Deworming and Vitamins
Each puppy will come up to date on vaccinations and deworming regimens. Please schedule an appointment with your vet within 2 weeks of adopting your puppy so the vet can continue providing the best care for your growing fur baby.
If you will be spending time outside with your fur baby it is very important to keep them up to date on all prophylactic measures. We also send them home with a weeks' worth of vitamins, but we do suggest procuring a vitamin of your choice especially while they are growing.
Microchipping and Genetic Testing
All puppies can be microchipped upon request.
All of our Dams and Sires are genetically tested using Embark before they produce puppies, copies of their results are available upon request.
We take great pride in providing full documentation for our puppies, going back at least 2 generations. You'll receive all vet records, vaccination records, and a full history of your new family member.
Grooming
We will soon be completing the grooming program at QC Pet Studies. We start basic grooming at 4 weeks with baths, nail trimming, and basic hair trims, so your puppy will be more comfortable with the process from an early age. We believe that by providing all of these services, we can ensure that our puppies are healthy, happy, and well-prepared for their new lives with their forever families.
Flight Nanny
We understand that not everyone is able to come to our home to pick up their new puppy, which is why we offer convenient delivery options. Our flight nanny and road trip delivery services are available throughout the continental US, making it easy for you to receive your new furry family member no matter where you are. We have a network of flight attendants who can deliver the puppies to your local airport, or we are happy to deliver them personally, either way, there is a fee for the trip.
Nutrition
We work hard to provide healthy, well balanced and nutritious meals for all our family dogs and puppies. I think we spend more time cooking their food than our own! We research dietary specialists, consult with our vet, get regular blood work (it always comes back perfect) and use web sites like balanceit.com to ensure we provide all the nutrition a growing puppy and healthy breeding parents could need. Got a picky eater at home? We offer local weekly delivery or pick up options on our home made meals, treats and snacks. A lot of our homemade treats can also be mailed out to the US.
Training Tip
When a puppy has something they shouldn't, the best way to train them is not to take that object, but to get them to willingly choose to drop it/leave it. Try this! Animate their favorite toy and use it to move them away from the object they shouldn't be playing with. Then, when they are solidly focused on you, be sure to commend them! "Good leave it, good toy" being the phrase we have been using. It will take time, and repetition, but this is going to teach your puppy in a positive way that will build your bond with them. Let us know how it goes for you and your baby!
To help make the transition to life with your new puppy as smooth as possible, we also provide a full "How To" survival guide, which covers everything from diet and exercise to grooming and training.
