Puppy Information
Out of respect for the future of this fledgling breed in the United States and in cooperation with the high standards of FCI, I assure that my White Swiss Shepherds (WSS)/Berger Blanc Suisse (BBS) will be free of all hip and elbow defects and have had DNA testing done.
ENS- EARLY NEUROLOGICAL STIMULATION PROGRAM
I do THE VIGOR FOR LIFE TEST in newborn puppies. I use the ENS - EARLY NEUROLOGICAL STIMULATION program, also called the BIO SENSOR, between 3-16 days old. The ENS has a significant and lasting effect which includes: improved cardio vascular performance, stronger heart beat, stronger adrenal glands, more tolerance to stress and greater resistance to disease.
Stimulated puppies are better in solving problems, less disturbed and upset, they seldom become hand-shy. I perform the best possible primary socialization of puppies - contact with other animals and people, walking on a lash, car rides, visiting busy places with traffic, with loud noises and other environmental issues.
Primary socialization does not mean that the work with the puppy has been finished. During the 2nd Socialization Period, when the puppy is around 8-11 weeks of age, it is important to be aware of Fear-Impact Period. If puppies have "bad" or scare experiences during this time, the impressions are likely to last a lifetime and resurface during maturity. I protect puppies, who are still staying with us from these long-term effects by avoiding bad experiences. From the age of 12 weeks onward, when puppy is not as sensitive anymore, the new owner must repeat everything the puppy has learned in primary socialization, and also proceed working with the puppy in further socialization. Some things have to be repeated several times or more, depending upon the nature of each puppy.
Socializing Your Puppy
The Berger Blanc Suisse are innately intelligent and capable of intuiting your wishes however obedience training and socialization are imperative to insure that your companion will respond properly and exhibit obedience in a multitude of situations. For the highest good of all, make an investment in your shepherd's socialization and obedience training!!
Breed Versatility
Highly intelligent and eager to please, your shepherd is easily trainable in a multitude of disciplines. Whether herding, performing search and rescue, protecting your home or being a service dog, with proper training your WSS will meet and even exceed your expectations.
Responsible Dog Ownership
A responsible dog owner means that you are meeting your dog's needs in health, nutrition, and exercise. You will not let your dog become a nuisance to your neighbors. If you dog is having problems, then you will seek advice and training to mitigate these problems. If you take care of your dog's needs, you will have a dog that takes care of you!
Care of Puppies
Look at how far the bones have to grow before they become a proper boney joint! This is why you should never let puppies jump (off of a couch), walk up/down stairs, over exercise, or over train. Doing too much impact activity at a young age will cause serious issues later on in life, or even at a young age, as hip dysplasia and other orthopeadic conditions are rising in puppies!
Remember the puppy rule: For every month increase activity by 5 minutes! For example an 8 week old puppy only needs 10 minutes a day of physical activity!!
*physical activity includes: going for a walk, training, playing fetch, running, playing with other dogs, etc.
