The questions in this application have two purposes. The first is to give you a strong sense of my priorities as a breeder in terms of what I look for in potential homes, and the second is to provide me with insight into whether or not I can make a compatible match between you and a current or future puppy. Making the best possible match between human(s) and dog is one of the most important aspects of my breeding program. Please be aware that FOLKVANG requires potential placements to commit to positive reinforcement, aversive-free training and welfare practices. I strongly recommend you find a clicker based class to take the puppy to.
Puppies at FOLKVANG are raised using the protocols created in Puppy Culture. Potential homes are encouraged to familiarize themselves with Puppy Culture and its philosophies.
All litters will have been raised using practices that prime the puppies to be enthusiastic learners in a reward-based system. If you have any questions or would like to know more about our rearing and training philosophies, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Additionally, please know that FOLKVANG will not place two puppies from the same litter in the same household at the same time, nor will we place puppies in houses with dogs currently under eighteen months of age. We will arrange for you to meet dogs from this breed of varying ages, to make sure you understand their needs.
