Past Litters

Circus puppies are born and are raised in our home NOT in a kennel environment.

Our puppies receive early neurological stimulation as we utilize the Bio Sensor program originally developed by the US military canine program, now called the Super Puppy Program. Based on years of research, the military learned that early neurological stimulation exercises could have important and lasting effects. Their studies confirmed that there are specific time periods early in life when neurological stimulation has optimum results. The first period involves a window of time that begins at the third day of life and lasts until the sixteenth day. It is believed that because this interval of time is a period of rapid neurological growth and development, and therefore is of great importance to the individual.
The "Bio Sensor" program was also concerned with early neurological stimulation in order to give the dog a superior advantage. Its development utilized six exercises which were designed to stimulate the neurological system. Each workout involves handling puppies once each day. The workouts required handling them one at a time while performing a series of five exercises. Listed in order of preference the handler starts with one pup and stimulates it using each of the five exercises. The handler completes the series from beginning to end before starting with the next pup.

Five benefits have been observed in canines that were exposed to the Bio Sensor stimulation exercises. The benefits noted were:

1. Improved cardio vascular performance (heart rate)
2. Stronger heart beats
3. Stronger adrenal glands
4. More tolerance to stress
5. Greater resistance to disease.

The advantages of raising the puppies in our home are of course many. The puppies become accustomed to the vacuum, the TV, sights and sounds of a kitchen and of course older dogs walking around them, barking and playing as well as other everyday household noises. Weather permitting the puppies receive daily outside time with their mother and siblings, so by the time they leave our home they are very outgoing and used to a variety of surfaces under their feet. We have had wonderful feedback from Circus puppy owners on how outgoing and confident their puppies were from day one.

Visitors to Mum and babies are permitted after the puppies reach 5 weeks old and we encourage the new families who are getting a Circus puppy to come to our home and spend time with the litter.

We only have one or two litters planned each year and typically we do not have more than one litter at a time, we like to be able to devote our time and energy and focus into the one litter.

All puppies are wormed at 2,4,6 and 8 weeks and will go to their new homes after receiving their first vaccines and a health check by our vet. Our puppies are eligible to be AKC registered and you will receive copies of all clearances on both of the parents of the puppy. All of our girls and their chosen stud dogs MUST have clearances on hips and elbows (OFA) a heart clearance (OFA) and an annual eye exam (CERF).

  Please remember that we are here for the life of the puppy to answer your questions at any time.

We look forward to meeting you and having you join the Circus Family, we would be glad to give you names and contact info for references from some happy puppy owners from our previous litters.
