Cermel and Gardengate are 2 breeders working together in Waterloo Region Ontario. We take great diligence in how our puppies are raised. All the dogs live in the house with us, we are NOT a Kennel. Home raised in our kitchen and living rooms where someone is at home with the puppies 99% of the time. We believe the key to great temperaments is lots and lots of socialization and if a breeder is seldom home, temperaments will be lacking. We strive to breed litters and raise puppies that have good temperaments that are well suited for a show, working career or just a well-adjusted member of the family. We start off with the pups at 3 days old by using the Super Puppy Early Neurological Stimulation Exercises by the time our puppies are ready for their new homes, they have walked on many different surfaces, eaten from many different containers in many different places. They will have been exposed to many different sounds, visual stimulations and will have played in several different areas, both inside and out. The puppies will be handled by, exposed to, and played with by many different people.
