Just Ducky Kennel
Head Start Puppy Program
When you buy a puppy from Just Ducky Kennel you are getting a pup who has a head start on his or her training. My goal is to produce healthy smart dogs who excel in the field and are a joy to have in the home.
All Just Ducky puppies are born in the house and are handled several times a day. At about 4 weeks they are moved outside and taken out to the yard and pond several times a day. All pups are introduced to birds, water, fields and woods before going to their new homes. All pups will retrieve a whole pigeon by 10 weeks of age.
All pups are acclimated to loud noises and gunfire (from a distance). Each pup is brought into the house and started on hallway retrieves. One or two at a time are kept inside for a few hours each day for extra attention and introduction to house-breaking. Pups will be swimming and fetching on land and in water (weather permitting) by 10 weeks of age.
Pups stay here until they are 11-12 weeks old for a head start on their gun dog and clicker training. That way they can be evaluated to match up with the perfect home. Each sire and dam is tested and cleared for hip dysplasia (OFA), eye disorders (CERF), and heart conditions (OFA cardiologist). All puppies are eye CERF'ed at 7 weeks and hearts are double-checked by a practitioner. All Just Ducky pups have an unconditional money-back warrantee. If, for any reason, one of my pups doesn't work out, simply return the pup for a refund. In the same respect, I expect puppy owners to be responsible in the care and future breeding of any dog they buy from Just Ducky Kennel. I ask that no pup be bred until at least 2 years of age and all health clearances have been met. To reserve your Just Ducky Boykin spaniel pup:New owners are encouraged to send pups back to the Academy for one month session of Puppy Kindergarten at 4-5 months of age. Pups then go home and work with the family. When pup is about 8 months of age he or she may come back to the Academy and gun dog lessons continue.
