Sandy Pines Homestead

We all got our vet health certificates today and are all healthy and ready to head home. They were all excellent car riders and showed more excitement than fear and nobody got car sick. Please update me with your pick up date and times. We are so excited to introduce you to your new baby 🥰

Hello New Puppy Parents, Thank you for choosing Sandy Pines Homestead as the breeder of your new family member. It has been such a joy to have these babies with us for the last 2 months and watch them grow from little potatoes into the adorable playful puppy they now are. Below you will see our address for pick up as well as other key event dates for your puppy. Every puppy has been vet checked, microchipped, wormed and has received his/her first round of puppy shots. Puppy shots should be administered every 2-3 weeks to maintain immunity but please follow your own veterinarian vaccine recommendations as different states/regions can have different requirements. Every puppy from our homestead is eligible for a free 30 days of puppy health insurance and should be activated the day before pick up to insure your baby is covered. This insurance is not required however highly recommended as your puppy is still susceptible to illnesses and or injuries and helps cover unanticipated health associated costs. These babies are “free fed” kibble and their growth is closely monitored to assure they are all growing and receiving enough food and water. You do not have to continue free feeding especially if you are trying to house train but just be aware of Anatolian breed traits when feeding and avoid under/over feeding. Feed based on weight divided into a couple feeding times a day. As a large bodied breed be knowledgeable about “bloat” and follow your vet’s recommendations to prevent this condition as it’s usually fatal unless immediately caught and surgically treated. Gastroplexy surgery should be considered with spay/neuter surgery as further prevention. We highly recommend you do not spay/neuter your puppy before they are 2 years old but you should consider and speak with your vet about hormone sparing sterilization procedures, and follow their recommendations. Our repo vet recommends males receive vasectomies vs castrate as there is no health benefit to castration and may actually cause health issues later in life. Our repo vet recommends females have hysterectomy procedures to prevent pyometra but spare the ovaries for overall health. These babies love love to chew! They are going to chew on anything and everything they can get their teeth on including your fingers and toes. Always have something for them to chew on handy. I highly recommend non-stuffed toys and chews along with natural chews such as antlers, marrow bones and hooves/horns. Potty training should not be difficult as they already naturally leave their pup house for going #2. They are highly intelligent, eager to please and definitely will let you know if you hurt their feelings. Gentle and consistent training and socializing is your key to the best dog you have ever had. Establishing yourself as pack leader from the start and they will always respect you as such. If left without a leader they will want to lead once they mature, so be the leader.

Hard to believe we are turning 7 & 8 weeks old this weekend. We are going to miss these babies so much but are so excited for their new families. See everyone soon 🤗

Here is the food both litters are fed. Our adults are free choice fed so the puppies have gotten both blends. We stay away from chicken as the main protein but none of our dogs have had an issue with any foods. As adults they can be more picky and tend to graze vs eat large portions. We usually feed pro plan foods as that is what our vet recommends but you can slowly switch them to whatever works for you and your budget.

Babies are growing by leaps and bounds. They have received their 6 week vaccines and are scheduled for their vet checks next week. Each puppy was given a colored collar to help you spot your baby in the active puppy play photos and videos. Our FB page has most videos since this platform doesn’t like my iPhone videos. Rip- black Beth- brown Carter- red Buela- teal Oreanna- purple Puppy group will start decreasing this week as our other litter starts going to their new homes. We are so excited for our new puppy parents.
