Our puppies are raised with love and care
Why Choose A Bougie Labrador?
We put extensive work into raising our puppies to be happy, healthy, and well-adjusted. We follow a specific program focused on early development and temperament testing.
Our Puppy Program: Backed by Expertise
We proudly use the principles of the Empowered Puppy Program, and our team has successfully completed their Breeders and Trainers Course. This expertise guides everything we do to give your puppy the best possible start.
-
Early Brain Boost: Starting at just 3 days old, we use Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS). This simple but important practice helps improve the puppies' heart health, stress tolerance, and overall development.
-
Socialization: We actively work on socialization to expose our puppies to a wide variety of people, sights, and sounds. This builds their confidence and makes their transition to a new home much easier.
-
Extended Learning Time: We keep our puppies until they are 9 to 10 weeks old. We feel these extra weeks are vital for them to learn important social skills and manners from their mother and littermates.
Professional Temperament Testing
To help you find the best possible match, we partner with East Valley K9 Services in Mesa, AZ. They perform the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test (PAT) when the puppies are 49 days old.
This professional test gives us clear information on each puppy's personality, confidence level, and drive. Knowing this helps us guide you toward the right puppy for your lifestyle and ensures a successful, long-term placement.
Exclusive Training Offer
For local purchasers, we take our commitment one step further. We are pleased to provide a free 6-week Leadership and Obedience class through our partners at East Valley K9 Services. This ensures you have the hands-on support you need to continue your puppy's education and build a lasting bond.
A Bougie Labrador puppy is a well-started companion ready to succeed in your home!
