Welcome to Puppy-Wuppy

Welcome to our Puppy-Wuppy website.  Here I hope you will find a variety of information on the care, training, and life long commitment that I feel animals should share in our lives.

The family at Puppy-Wuppy is actively involved in rescue from various shelters, specializing in kill shelters and gas shelters.  Yes, there are still gas shelters in the USA! 

Our goal is to retrain these animals for adaptability to new home environments or working environments.  Additionally, we are dedicated to promote public awareness of the responsibility of pet ownership, the training involved, and the mechanics of a working canine.  We educate new owners through behavior and training seminars prior to adoption.

It is important for individuals to understand that the puppy in the window will grow up and needs to know its place in the family.  Furthermore, each breed has certain characteristics or traits that are inherent and cannot be overlooked when choosing that pet for your family.  For example, German Shepherds, Dobies, Rotts, Border Collies all make great family pets, but they also have an unearthed and underlying need to work and please.  To take that away from they would be unjust.  It is something to keep in mind when choosing your breed for your family.  Too may dogs lives at the shelter are ended because of POOR JUDGMENT or lack of knowledge.  Knowledge is power, and the more knowledge you have, a better-informed decision you can make for all concerned when choosing the right canine for you.

As for the rest of the website, it is filled with useful information regarding training and behavior, brought to you from many articles and experiences.  We are very honored to have the ability to present some of these articles to you with the permission of World Renowned trainer Elizabeth Bradley.

Lastly, we have two rising stars, Chaos and Calais, that are actively involved in agility and are learning the foundation work for Schutzhund.  We will keep you updated on their progress.
