'' OUR PUPPIES '' All of our puppies, at Bigfoot Kennels, socialization begins with their birth. We believe in " home raising " all litters. We are present at birth and every day after that. We are strictly a " hands on kennels." All our puppies are handled, played with, socialized and very much loved from day one. We believe this is very important when raising healthy, happy, well socialized puppies. To help our puppies bond to people as quickly as possible, we always use supplemental bottle feeding. This not only to help the new mother, but also affords the puppies quality time with us. From birth they only have pleasant and pleasurable experiences with people. There are no shortcuts when raising that special puppy that fills his new owners hearts with pride and, best of all, LOVE!!!
