Camila partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 7 weeks old.

At 28 days and onward the litter is introduced to dogs other than their mom. We have a 2nd GSD female, our "Second in Command" 8 year old Livestock Guardian Dog female Aisha, and a 1.5-year old goofball <he is growing and maturing ;)> Great Pyrenees Livestock Guardian Dog Masssimo.

- At 35 days the puppies go on puppy kindergarten [hundegarten] pen outside to experience rich & vibrant life including:

=> Free roaming KHSI NSIP-adjacent purpose-bred Katahdin sheep

=> Horses

=> Chickens and turkeys

=> Farm Equipment with Farm equipment noises 

=> Whatever else happens at the farm property, and as farming goes it's "another day - another paendemonium"  

Please note: Haus Atreus and the Farm LLC Arcane Acres <Both owned by the head trainer Camilla> practice strict biosecurity. Once hundergarten starts - the puppies are exposed to soil, grass, other dogs, and <across a fence> other animals. Any guests visiting the farm - regardless if they interact with the dogs - pass a biosecurity barrier with an antiseptic foot bath, hand wash protocol <at farm entry and farm depart> and shoe covers if the guest enters indoor premises. We implement same strict protocols for our animals - our sheep are sourced from the University of Maryland's KHSI flock & UMD's animal science DVM coordinator.
