How We Raise Our Puppies

At Brashawin, every litter is raised with care, purpose, and intention. We are dedicated to ensuring that each puppy not only thrives in their early weeks but also has the very best foundation for a confident, healthy, and happy future.

Our Approach

We take a hands-on, ethical approach to raising our puppies. Each litter is carefully planned, and every puppy is nurtured with the same dedication we give to our own dogs. From day one, they are part of our family – handled daily, monitored closely, and given the right balance of structure, stimulation, and love. Our goal is to raise puppies that are sound in mind and body, ready to excel as companions, in the show ring, in sport or an active working capacity.

Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)

From days 3–16, our puppies go through the ENS program, a proven method that gently introduces mild stressors to help develop stronger neurological pathways. ENS has been shown to improve stress tolerance, resilience, cardiovascular health, and overall adaptability later in life. It’s a simple but powerful way we invest in every puppy’s long-term wellbeing.

Socialisation

Proper socialisation is at the heart of our program. Our puppies are gradually and safely introduced to:

This structured exposure helps them grow into well-rounded young dogs who take new experiences in their stride.

Life Skills & Early Training

We believe in giving our puppies a head start. As they grow, we introduce:

These early lessons create puppies that are adaptable and ready for their next stage of learning.

Age-Appropriate Challenges

As puppies develop, we gradually add environmental challenges such as tunnels, wobble boards, low platforms, and problem-solving games. These activities encourage confidence, coordination, and resilience while making learning fun. Everything is designed to be safe, age-appropriate, and rewarding, helping each puppy build a strong sense of curiosity and courage.

What Comes With Your Puppy

When you take home a puppy from Brashawin, you’re not just gaining a new family member – you’re also receiving the peace of mind that comes from knowing your puppy has had the very best start to life. Every puppy leaves our care healthy, well-prepared, and supported for the journey ahead.

Puppy Pack

Every puppy leaves with a thoughtfully prepared puppy pack, which includes:

Ongoing Support

Perhaps most importantly, every Brashawin puppy comes with lifetime breeder support. Whether you need advice on training, health, diet, or simply want to share an update, we are here to help at every stage of your puppy’s life. Once you join the Brashawin family, you are never alone on your journey.

At Brashawin, our commitment doesn’t end when your puppy leaves our home. We never “sell and forget.” Each puppy we raise is part of our extended family, and we take pride in offering ongoing guidance and support for life. Whether it’s a quick question about diet, a challenge with training, or simply sharing your dog’s milestones, we’re always just a message away. Choosing a Brashawin puppy means gaining not only a loyal companion but also a breeder who truly cares – for the lifetime of your dog.


When Puppies Go Home

We understand how exciting it is to bring home a new puppy, and we do everything possible to make the transition smooth for both you and your new companion.

8 Weeks Old – No Exceptions

Puppies are ready to leave us at 8 weeks of age – not before. This critical time allows them to fully benefit from their mother, littermates, and the structured raising program we provide. Leaving earlier can negatively impact their development, so we strictly follow this standard for the wellbeing of every puppy.

Pick-Up Dates & Holding Policy

We provide families with designated pick-up dates in advance, so you can plan ahead. We encourage all puppies to join their new homes at 8 weeks to ensure consistency in their development.

Transport & Delivery Options

While we prefer new families to collect their puppies in person (to meet us and allow your puppy to transition more smoothly), we understand this isn’t always possible. By arrangement, we can assist with safe and reliable transport options, including:

Your puppy’s safety and wellbeing are our highest priority, and we only use trusted, professional services when arranging transport.


Pricing, Deposits & Waitlist Process

The full price for a Brashawin puppy is $5,000, which includes a $500 non-refundable reservation fee to secure your place on our waitlist.

Reservation Fee

Your $500 reservation fee confirms your interest and helps us plan ahead for each litter. This amount is deducted from the final balance. Please note that the fee is non-refundable but may be transferred to a future litter under certain circumstances.

Our Matching Process

At Brashawin, puppies are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis. Instead, we carefully match each puppy with the family that best suits their temperament, lifestyle, and goals. Our priority is always the long-term success of both the puppy and the home they join.

We take into account your preferences, such as gender or coat colour, but cannot guarantee these will be available. Ultimately, our responsibility is to ensure each puppy is matched where they will thrive.

Puppy Selections

Puppy evaluations take place around 6–7 weeks of age, once we have a clear understanding of each puppy’s temperament, structure, and potential. At this time, families will be notified of their puppy match.
