Puppy Wellness Guide: Essential Steps for a Healthy Start

While under the guardianship of Bristlecone Retrievers, your puppy receives comprehensive support for its health and growth. In the initial three weeks, the puppies primarily engage in sleep and feeding, allowing for the ongoing development of their hearing, immune system, and vision. The living environment of the puppies is meticulously observed and maintained to guarantee the utmost safety for their habitat.

Commencing at 10 days of age, we initiate Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) training for our puppies. This practice is considered crucial for enhancing heart health, stress tolerance, and overall immunity in young dogs. Additionally, it fosters a positive affinity for human touch and interactions as our puppies grow. Learn more about this valuable training method here.

We ensure that all puppies receive regular vaccinations during their stay with us. Upon adoption, the responsibility for vaccinations transitions from Bristlecone Retrievers to the puppies' new forever family.
