is sold to you.
Once the shichon puppy is 7 weeks,
the puppy can be shown by appointment.
if available for sale
they steal the puppy’s nutrition.
for more than a year.
people can get it too.
Two of the worst diseases they can get.
A simple cold can be tough on a young Shichon pup.
That is WHY I wait to show my Zuchon puppies
The puppy's immune system
needs time to develop.
Vaccinations aids in protecting them
against the odds
if given at the right times
and in the right amounts.
Think of it this way,
I can ride a bike 1000 times
without needing my helmet...
I only need it when there is an accident.
You can meet me and available non-shed puppies
by scheduling an appointment.
We wish to keep our insurance costs low
PLUS other overhead costs to a minimum
which keeps our teddy bear puppy's prices lower.

15 - 5 rule NO UNSUPERVISED FREEDOM
The 15 -5 rule is a puppy training method that helps the puppy learn faster of where to go potty, where the food & water is and where the no dog zones are. NO UNSUPERVISED freedom till your puppy has PROVEN it knows the rules.
Many people think a wagging tail always means your dog is happy...
But your dog’s tail can actually have a lot of different things to say!
And if you learn to speak “tail,”
you’ll get a whole new window into your dog’s life and how they’re feeling.
So today I’m going to boost your wag vocabulary by looking at the two most important ingredients of a wagging tail:
Height, and speed.
Generally speaking, the faster and higher a dog’s tail goes,
the more heightened their emotions are.
So if you spot your dog’s tail pointing straight up like a flagpole —
that’s often a warning your dog is feeling agitated by something in their environment.
Whether it’s another dog, a running squirrel, or even a person that’s setting your dog on edge…
If possible, try and move them into a more relaxed situation.
(A stiff tail is also definitely something to watch for when it comes to dogs you don’t know, because it can be a warning about aggressive behavior.)
On the other end of the spectrum, a tail that’s wagging slowly and close to the ground is often the sign your dog is feeling submissive or nervous.
So if you see this “street sweeping” wag, try to give your dog a little extra encouragement.
A little praise or a simple reassuring pat could help lift their tail — and their spirits!
Which brings us to the perfect Goldilocks wag!
Not too high or low, not too fast or slow,
just a happy little dance that says your dog is loving life.
So if you see that wag — rest assured that your dog is most likely in a great mood.
And if you want to take your tail-reading skills to the next level,
There’s one more secret signal to keep an eye out for...
The direction!
Believe it or not, studies show that dogs wag their tail more to the RIGHT
when they’re happy or confident, and more to the LEFT when they’re feeling scared.
Incredible, right?
So congratulations — now you’re an expert in decoding your dog’s tail!
And one of the greatest skills a pet parent can have is understanding your dog’s feelings.
Because it makes you better at your most important job:
keeping your dog happy and healthy!
To happy and healthy dog years ahead,
Dr. Gary Richter
P.S. They may not be able to speak English, but when it comes to getting what they want…
Most dogs are expert communicators.
What other ways does your dog
“speak” to you?
Do they paw at your leg to ask for some extra love?
Or give you “that look” when they’re hoping for a treat?
Maybe you’ve trained them to ring a bell when they want to go outside...
Here is a simple 8-step dog check done once a week that ensures a healthier and happier pet. It will help keep your vet expenses to a minimum.
Using your sense of smell, vision and touch will help you detect problems early in order to correct any issues naturally.
1. EYES: Look at the lower eyelids – notice the color and if there is swelling of the tissue. If both eyes are inflamed that could indicate allergies. If only one eye is different, it could mean a foreign object is in the eye.
2. MOUTH: Lift the upper lip. Are the gums red or inflamed? Do you see tartar built up on the teeth? If you notice sweet smells, it could indicate diabetes. An ammonia smell could indicate a kidney problem.
3. TEETH AND GUMS: Make a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, put a gauze pad on your finger, dip the pad into the paste and brush your dog’s teeth. I add Thieves or Onguard essential oil into the solution or you can mix a solution of 2 drops essential oil to 1 oz. water and spray on your dog’s upper teeth.
4. EARS: Ears should be clean without any smells. Use olive oil, mineral oil, apple cider vinegar, or Purification or Purityessential oil on a cotton pad or a Q-tip to clean out the ears. If you see yellow discharge (puss), take your pet to the vet.
5. LYMPH NODES: Feel behind the jaw just below the ears for pea sized lymph nodes. You are checking to see if they have become abnormal in size. If one side is larger than the other, it could mean a tooth infection. If both sides are inflamed, it can mean a viral infection or indicate other problems.
6. PAWS: Are the nails too long or splitting? Learn to trim the nails or have a groomer do it. Use Super Glue then sprinkle with baking soda to dry quicker makes a great bandage.
7. NERVE ENDINGS: Gently feel down the spine of your dog. You are feeling for a small depression just to the outside of each dip on both sides of the vertebrate all the way down the entire spine. These points can tell you if there is a problem since the nerve endings are attached there. If you get a reaction of displeasure during the spine massage, make an appointment to see your vet.
8. STOMACH: Gently massage the stomach and watch for a reaction of displeasure.
Feel for abnormal lumps and bumps during the whole checkup session.
Turn your pet checkup into a massage petting session. Your dog will look forward to it. Do the dog checkup once a week and you will be able to monitor if anything has changed. You can take preventive action before any permanent damage occurs.
If not wanting to Play, Eat, or Drink bring your puppy to a Vet.

Examples: barking, growling, jumping up.
