Breeding plans and litters — the next generation of our lines.

Puppy essentials

Before your puppy comes home, a few things are worth preparing. Here is what we recommend for the first months — simple, proven essentials that make the start easier.

Crate, pen, bed

01Calm and a place of their own

  • Crate

    Crate

    Teaches the puppy it has a safe place of its own — invaluable when you are out, travelling or in an emergency.

    Tip: For a Miniature American Shepherd choose a crate about 90 cm (36") long — it fits from puppy to adult.

  • Raised cot bed

    Raised cot bed

    Raised and breathable, hard to chew. Easy on the joints and easy to keep clean.

    Tip: About 90 × 60 cm (35 × 23").

Food, bowl, chews

02Feeding and treats

  • All-life-stage food

    All-life-stage food

    One good food from puppy to adult — no diet switch, which often upsets a young stomach.

    Tip: For the first weeks, feed what the puppy ate at the kennel.

  • Natural chews

    Natural chews

    Such as hard yak-milk cheese chews. They last long and save shoes and furniture while the teeth change.

Combs and nails

03Grooming

  • Grooming comb

    Grooming comb

    Weekly combing removes loose hair and keeps the undercoat in order.

  • Undercoat rake

    Undercoat rake

    Essential during shedding season when the undercoat comes out by the handful — it prevents mats.

  • Nail grinder

    A quick, calm way to keep nails short. Get the puppy used to it from the first days at home.

Everyday basics

04Walks and play

  • Collar or harness and lead

    Collar or harness and lead

    A light collar to start with, with an ID tag and your phone number.

    Tip: Puppies grow fast — choose an adjustable one.

  • Poop bags

    A roll in every pocket and on every lead. Picking up after your dog is our duty.

  • Teething toys

    Teething toys

    Rubber and rope toys soothe itchy gums and distract from what shouldn't be chewed.
