Fatima babies are
born in our office and immediately collared and numbered in the order
of their birth. Fatima personnel weigh and lovingly handle all babies
on a daily basis for the first 3 weeks. During the second and fourth weeks
Fatima babies are participants in early socialization development utilizing
the exercise regime of Dr. Battalgia.
Fourth week begins
the first bath and grooming with exposure to dryers, clippers and nail
trimmers. They continue this exercise every week thereafter.
Fifth week begins outside activity and play
in the puppy playground with exposure to cubes, tunnels, bridges and toys.
Sixth week brings crate training, recall
whistles and temperament testing.
Seventh week brings conformation and working
evaluations.
Eight weeks culminates all evaluations and
final placements to their new families.
Fatima personnel remain available for consultation
on all our puppies and adult needs. Our puppies remain our concern even
though they have moved to a new home. We are always here to share your
thoughts and concerns.
We are delighted to have our dogs shown,
however, our foremost concern is that every dog have a quality home with
unconditional love.
We recommend positive reinforcement basic
obedience training for all puppies. Every puppy must be a Canine
Good Citizen.
Please review our Puppy
Questionnaire for prospective puppy buyers.
Puppy inquires are always welcome and handled
in a courteous manner.
