At Weaver Family Farms, we are more than just breeders; we are a family deeply committed to raising happy and healthy puppies. Nestled on a 4-acre farm in Cairo, MO, we specialize in breeding Cavapoos, Cockapoos, miniature Poodles and sometimes maltipoos and king charles cavaliers! Our approach to puppy care is rooted in love, attention, and a deep understanding of what these adorable creatures need to thrive. Let me share with you some insights and tips on puppy care that we've learned over the years.
Our Unique Approach to Puppy Rearing
Our journey in raising puppies is built on the foundation of family values. Each puppy at Weaver Family Farms is treated as a part of our family, receiving ample love, care, and socialization. We believe that the early weeks of a puppy's life are crucial for their development. That's why we ensure they are well-socialized, exposed to various experiences, and start their training early. This approach leads to well-adjusted puppies ready for their forever homes.
Tips for New Pet Owners
1. Early Socialization is Key: Just like we do at our farm, it's important for new pet owners to expose their puppies to different people, pets, and environments. This helps in developing a well-rounded and sociable dog.
2. Consistent Training: Training should start as soon as your puppy settles into their new home. Consistency is key. Use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior.
3. Proper Nutrition: Feeding your puppy the right diet is crucial for their growth and health. We recommend high-quality puppy food that meets their nutritional needs.
4. Regular Veterinary Care: Regular check-ups with a vet are essential. This ensures your puppy is up-to-date with vaccinations and is growing healthily.
5. Love and Patience: Raising a puppy requires a lot of love and patience. They are learning about the world around them, and your guidance is crucial in shaping their behavior and personality.

We provide more information on these considerations on our FAQ page.

Consistency and patience are key. On our website, we offer breed-specific advice and general training tips that can be very helpful for new owners.
