Temperament
Temperament Is Paramount
The single most important quality in our dogs is their temperament. While training can help reinforce specific behaviors, temperament comes from careful breeding. All of our Dream Dog parents have passed a vigorous temperament test and have been hand-selected for our breeding program based on the following traits:
- Sociability with humans and dogs
- Confidence
- Resilience
- Evenly balanced play desire
- Evenly balanced energy level
- Forgiveness
- Tolerance
- Trainability
- Not easily stressed
For families, this means you are getting a pet that is happy-go-lucky, affectionate, confident, friendly, and easygoing.

Early Learning For Puppies
We work tirelessly to provide each Dream Dog puppy with a nurturing, relaxing and stimulating environment during their first eight weeks of life. During this period, it is crucial to provide them with the best care possible in order to sculpt them into behaviorally and emotionally stable adult dogs. We set our puppies up for success in two key ways.
Sensory Stimulation
Our puppies are exposed to a wide variety of sights, sounds, textures and experiences as early as possible in order to help them become resilient and adaptable adults. This includes helping them make positive associations with potential future stressors such as car rides, thunder, vacuums, etc.
Human and Dog Socialization
Our puppies are raised in a home environment where they are afforded unique socialization opportunities throughout their first eight weeks of life. Newborn puppies raised in this environment will begin to learn body language and appropriate boundaries for play.
