Eight Weeks

The puppy journey

A gentle, weekly chronology of the earliest chapter of your puppy's life — from first breath to the morning we open the front door and welcome you in.

Week 1

Birth & First Breaths

Puppies are born in our home, in a whelping room beside our bedroom. We are present for every arrival.

Week 2

Eyes Open

The world begins to reveal itself. Gentle handling, warmth and quiet routine set the foundation.

Week 3

First Sounds

We introduce the soft sounds of family life — voices, footsteps, kitchens, gentle music.

Week 4

Weaning Begins

First tastes of specially prepared food. Puppies begin to interact with siblings with intent.

Week 5

Home Adventures

Puppies meet the wider household — safe outdoor time, new textures underfoot, gentle novelty.

Week 6

Socialisation

Following the Puppy Culture programme, we broaden their world in small, careful steps.

Week 7

Vet Checks & Microchips

First veterinary examination, microchipping and first vaccinations by our trusted country vet.

Week 8

Collection Day

Puppies leave for their new homes with a full puppy pack, lifetime support and our lasting friendship.
