Ashsinhalt Whippets are brought up with every step taken into account to ensure a happy, confident, and well socialised puppy, ready to take on the big world!

​

Our Puppy Culture puppy raising protocols include the following:

​

• Between days 3 to 16, each puppy goes through ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) and ESI (Early Scent Introduction) to inprove cardiovasuclar health, stronger heartbeats and adrenal glands, increase tolerance to stress and greater resistance to disease.

• After 2.5 weeks of age, the puppies are begining their potty training, going through 'Shaping Emotional Responses' protocol and also introduced to a daily sound, to socialise them to a range of different noises that they will experience later on in life (eg. traffic, airplanes, doorknocking, loud talking, fireworks, cars beeping, trains, etc.)

• From 4 weeks of age we introduce people and other animals to our puppies, we encourage their new owners to visit often and invite over as many people and their pets as we can to get as much socialising in before the puppies hit their first fear period at 5 weeks of age. We also introduce manding behaviour and clicker training from this age as well, utilising a part of their brain they haven't used before, using the 'Communications Trinity' protocol.

• From 6 weeks of age we introduce the puppy obstacle courses, each day we set up a new course they must work their way through for their meals, courses include wobble platforms, pools of shallow water, ball pits, tunnels, obstacles to climb over and mazes to encourse thinking, always with a big meal at the end for a positive reward! At this age we usually have a pretty good idea of individual personalities as we begin to test them for their new homes.

• From 7 weeks of age, we take the puppies out every day to different locations, car rides, sitting in busy parking lots, meeting people, doing scent trails, visiting stores such as pet shops, bunnings, and other pet friendly stores, beach trips, etc. This gives each puppy a daily unique, positive experience, to set them up for success in their new homes and the big world!

Our puppy raising protocol is desigined to encourage self reasuring behaviour and emotional regulation, encouraging them to think and process their own actions and their environment.

All puppies are weaned to raw with a wide variety of different foods to increase and improve good gut bacteria and health, read more about our extensive raw diet here: https://www.ashsinhalt.com/diet

All puppies will leave after 8 weeks of age, they will receive their first vaccination as well as their microchip at 7 weeks of age and will come with mains ANKC registrations and pedigree.
All puppies are $4000 and take home a quality puppy pack of things you will use and will last.

 

Sport, hunting and active homes will take preference.

Puppies will be assessed for numerous different things as they grow, this will help to pick out which puppy will be going to which home and which will be staying with me.
Puppies will go through confidence, drive and instinct tests as well as personality and temperament tests starting at 6 weeks of age, and all puppies will be assessed for show prospects at 7 weeks of age.

Once puppies are born, we do require a $1,000 deposit to hold your spot for a puppy, we usually take these spots based of the families desired sex of choice, we will then match up each puppy to their suitable family at 7 weeks of age, after we have chosen our own keepers. We do not allow people to choose their own puppy based on colour as I believe temperament is the most important factor to ensuring our puppies are happy and suitable for their new families lifestyle, this means I will not allow a softer, shyer puppy to go to a busy household with youung children or a sport prospect home, and likewise, I will not allow a very active and busy puppy to go to a quiet home who is after a more relaxed pet.
This system has worked perfectly for all of our past litters and we always recieve compliments on how well each puppy has fitted in with their new families lives.
