OUR PROGRAM!

When the pups are about 3 – 4 weeks old, each litter is moved to a separate
room that is fitted out for pupp
ies: shavings on the floor, food, water, a cozy bed, and
lots and lots of toys.  A favorite toy is a
lways a length of 8” pipe; it’s good to climb
over, take a nap in, and play “king of the tunnel”.  As they learn to bark, the pups
love the amplification it gives!


Our facilities are inspected and approved by the American Kennel Club.  
All pups and their surroundings are kept absolutely clean at all times.
                  
Much of the time, Corgis (5) and Mini Aussies (4) at
LAUZON RANCH live and play in the great outdoors
– as do the deer and the antelope!  They have
people, horses, and cattle for companions (and a
few barn cats).  We do have to keep the chickens
fenced in!

When play time is over, they live in 8' x 16' wire
pens with an igloo, a mat, and during snowy days, a
dry hay pile.
The “house darlings”, the  Papillons, live in our home
and have a small back yard for themselves.  Their
babies are born and reared in the house with us.
At whelping time, the Mini Aussies and Corgis have their own “Puppy Palace” – an older
mobile home that we have fitted out for them.  The living-dining area has been converted
to a whelping room with stall mats (3/4” rubber) and portable fencing around each pen.  
Mamas are never confined once the pups are born.  They have free range of the trailer
and a doggy door to the outdoors.  We find this causes them much less stress – they’ve
just got to get away from those babies once in a while!
