Breeds
We specialize in just one breed, Bichon Frise. At Bichon Frise Dynasty LLC, there is an intricate process in our breeding program which sets us apart from other breeders. Due to our high standards of our breeding practices, all bichon frise puppies go home with a one year health guarantee.
Early Nurological Stimulation
The U.S. Military in their canine program developed a method that still serves as a guide to what works. In an effort to improve the performance of dogs used for military purposes, a program called "Bio Sensor" was developed. Later, it became known to the public as the "Super Dog" Program. Based on years of research, the military learned that early neurological stimulation exercises could have important and lasting effects. Their studies confirmed that there are specific time periods early in life when neurological stimulation has optimum results. The first period involves a window of time that begins at the third day of life and lasts until the fortieth day. It is believed that because this interval of time is a period of rapid neurological growth and development, and therefore is of great importance to the puppy.
The "Bio Sensor" program was also concerned with early neurological stimulation in order to give the dog a superior advantage. Its development utilized six exercises which were designed to stimulate the neurological system. Each workout involved handling puppies once each day. The workouts required handling them one at a time while performing a series of exercises. Five benefits have been observed in canines that were exposed to the Bio Sensor stimulation exercises. The benefits noted were: Improved cardio vascular performance (heart rate), stronger heartbeats, stronger adrenal glands, more tolerance to stress, and GREATER resistance to disease.
Socialization
Socialization is a lifelong process, but the bulk of it occurs during the first 12 weeks of your puppy's life. In fact, socialization can start as early as birth. Although newborn puppies cannot see or hear, their senses of smell and touch are fully functioning. At Bichon Frise Dynasty LLC, we begin handling the puppies immediately to help them feel comfortable with human touch. At two weeks, pups' ears and eyes open. During this time, they are exposed to everyday sounds, like the dishwasher, clanging pots and children. This stimulation both helps them get used to the sounds they'll hear at home and aids neurological development. Between four to eight weeks, puppies grow stronger, more coordinated, and seek out more adventures. They begin playing with their littermates and investigating environmental enrichment provided by Bichon Frise Dynasty LLC. Our stimulating puppy pen looks like a toddler playground filled with differently textured hanging objects, challenging obstacles, and toys that squeak, honk, and clang. We allow the puppies o experience both the indoors and outdoors, different sounds, smells, people, and even car rides before letting them go to their forever homes.
