Here at Rebelstar I strive to constantly improve on structure with my main goal of Attitude AND Affection in mind. Some Standards have temperament issues and I would not knowingly breed a dog that had poor temperament or poor health. Making sure each parent is fully screened for the health issues we currently see helps to insure inferior dogs or dogs with unseen health problems are never used for breeding. I now have 2 generations of testing on all dogs used for breeding and have begun 3rd generation testing, some of the dogs in pedigrees are at 6 generations of testing for their time. All parent dogs test results can be seen on www.offa.org. By putting the dog's registered name in the Search bar at the far right on the OFA page test results will come up. All parent dogs have a CHIC (Canine Health Information Center) number. Testing can also be found on the CHIC site www.caninehealthinfo.org. Each puppy goes to it's new home knowing words like off, no, no bark and go potty. Puppies are NOT raised in a kennel environment but in my home. As early as 5 weeks of age depending on the weather they begin to go outside just like my big dogs. They learn not to use the bathroom in their x-pen as early as 7-8 weeks. Transition to crates is easy. Basically when they leave at 10-11 weeks for their new homes they are housebroken. They are given various experiences: meeting new people (my groom shop is across my driveway and clients ALWAYS want to see the new puppies), they are driven around in a vehicle, we live on a mini farm and they are familiarized to goats/chickens/cats/horses. In addition to the bio-sensor stimulation exercises performed from day 3-16 they get exposed to all ages of people, traffic and traffic noises, noises associated with other animals, lots of toys are provided to enhance retrieving instincts. I have a blue and gold macaw in my grooming shop that is VERY loud and they learn about him at an early age. I begin grooming my puppies at 3 weeks of age and they are groomed every two weeks until they leave my home. My goal is to give each puppy a good start to transition easily to his/her new home. All puppies sold as pets are spayed/neutered before departing for their new homes and this IS included in the puppy's price. With the rising popularity of the "Designer Dogs" (Labradoodles, Goldendoodles, etc) I have no intention of letting one of my puppies be bred for this purpose. If you are looking for a dog for "breeding" please do NOT contact me. If you are a doodle breeder do NOT contact me asking to use one of my boys, it's a waste of your time and mine. I do NOT sell dogs as "breeders" nor will I ship them to the Far East. Puppies for show are kept and exhibited by me. If you are interested in a show puppy they are sold under strict guidelines and with a co-ownership only. I would like to thank all of my puppy homes for enabling me to continue raising and showing Standards, for without the exceptional homes for pets I could not continue my mission of raising quality Standards, I can't keep them ALL . I would especially like to thank those who have not just one, but as many as 3 Rebelstar Standards and referred family and friends to me for a Standard poodle. |

Puppy Testing and Rating There is a program that was initially
developed by the U.S. Military for training K-9 unit dogs. It was
referred to as the Bio-Sensor or Super Dog program. It is a series
of simple exercises performed once daily to puppies age 3 days to 16
days. These exercises increased intelligence and neurological
development in test group puppies. Their eyes opened sooner and
their senses were advanced compared to other puppies of that age
group that had not had the exercises executed. It has become a
program used by many seeing-eye and assisted living canine companion
breeding facilities. We have started using this program on our
puppies. |
