At Alysium Ridgebacks, it is believed that the beginning stages of a dogs life is crucial to build a foundation for success. We go above and beyond to assure every single puppy is well socialized and introduced to as many new things as possible. All our puppies go through my early puppy development program which is largely based on the puppy cuture method of raising a litter. Starting at 3 days old puppies receive early neurological stimulation. As puppies begin to eliminate on their own, litter box training is introduced. Puppiews get to explore new environments, walk on all sorts of unusual textures, and build a positive association with loud and unusual noises. We strive to imprint our puppies for success from day one, weather you want an amazing family dog, a companion, a hunter, a therapy, or a service dog, you can count on our puppies being given the best possible foundation. Once puppies have been weaned from Momma, they are fed a highly nutritious diet and are never given any artificial ingredients. They get large raw meaty bones and are fed a mixture of bone broth and diamond naturals large breed puppy food.
