We do not breed often and endeavor to improve the breed with each of our few litters, aiming to produce puppies sound in body and mind from health-tested parents. We do not ship puppies and all buyers agree to buy under contract. FoxPoint puppies will not be placed with their new homes until they - at minimum - have had their first series of vaccines, are dewormed, and have been microchipped and individually registered with the American Kennel Club. If interested in a FoxPoint puppy, we encourage you to contact us early, as we typically have a waiting list. Our litters are raised in a home environment with regular interaction and handling. During a critical development window from their third day through their sixteenth day, we utilize early neural stimulation (ENS) protocols with each of our puppies. Based on military canine programs, when conducted in once daily short intervals (3-5 seconds each) during this developmental period, these exercises have been shown to benefit the development of improved cardiovascular performance and adrenal glands as well as greater stress tolerance and disease resistance. Our puppies are exposed to a variety of surfaces, sights, odors, sounds, and people throughout their time with us including a puppy "jungle gym". FoxPoint puppies are introduced to a variety of game birds, usually via wing or frozen training bird to start, beginning at approximately four weeks of age. Additionally, we begin basic obedience training (e.g. sit, down, wait, recall) as well as settling exercises (e.g. go to mat) and crate training. We also litter box train our puppies to help with the housebreaking process in addition to beginning adventures outside at around five weeks of age. Our puppies typically join their new families beginning around 8 to 9 weeks of age so that they can acclimate to their new environment within the first critical socialization period which typically ends around 3 months of age. FoxPoint puppy buyers must agree to continue socialization through an appropriate puppy or basic manners class. While we do not require our puppy buyers to pursue titles in any specific sport, we do require that our puppies go to active homes. Tollers, particularly those still in adolescence, need a job! We seek and expect frequent contact with our FoxPoint family of puppy owners and are happy to provide a lifetime of mentoring and support. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Please take a few moments to review our breed information page - including the Top 10 Reasons NOT to Get a Toller!
