Please take the time to fill out our APPLICATION if you are interested in adopting from

5280 Toy Rat Terriers

We plan each litter carefully.

We have a limited number of litters per year and can only guarantee puppies to clients with deposits and currently on the waiting list.
Our puppies are bred for conformation, size and color and temperment.

We take notice of the issues surrounding breeding , and want to be sure your puppy will never end up in a shelter, we do this by giving you what frustrates new puppy owners most, TRAINING.

Our puppies are raised in the house with human interaction. The advantage of working at home raising Toy Rat Terriers is that I am there to imprint their minds in these critical first 8 weeks of life. You can never make up for lack of socialization at this stage.

We take each puppy out individually and begin train them from day one.

When they go to their new homes, 5280 Toy Rat Terriers puppies have already began to learn commands such as  sit , walking on a leash, and much more.

we are available by phone or stop by and we will be happy to assist you with any concerns you may have with your new bundle of joy with training or socialization issues.

At 5280 Toy Rat Terriers our puppies  are Leash Trained, collar trained, play ball, AND puppy play.

Some learn  fetch before the leave also!  We will also work on sounds , de-sentisthsing your puppy to loud, and obtrusive sounds , as well as every day sounds and activities.  We take your puppy for car rides, and teach it to walk over different surfaces. We also take time to teach your new puppy how to greet at the door. The extra steps and time involved means puppy will be more adjusted to be part of your family and home environment when they arrive.

The young puppies are constantly playing with small children and are already gaining the social skills needed to be a well rounded and integral part of your family.

Litter Training

 Our puppies are litter trained and begin the process the day mom no longer takes care of the process herself.  All of my adult females are litter trained as well, teaching puppies, in the whelping box as well.

 We do this by giving the puppies a designated place in the whelping box to GO, they catch on very easily and continue to make this their potty area.

The puppies learn to use it!
They potty as soon as they wake up. This keeps the play pen very sanitary.  And will be the foundation for your new puppy and you.

You will continue this process when you take puppy home, making house training MUCH easier.

Crate Training

We crate train our puppies starting at 5-6 weeks old. We do this by first leaving an open crate in the puppy play area.
They naturally go in it when they are sleepy.

We then  begin try to close the door for small periods of time time give the puppies the idea ,
right outside the door to the crate, we put a "litter box" ( with ABM).

Clean Living

Puppies who are kept clean in the whelping box or litter box, are animals that learn how to be clean, and strive to be clean.

 It is very difficult to retrain a puppy not kept clean during this time , as I am sure many of you have already experienced, this is one of the most important  imprints, I as a breeder can make on your new puppy, and this is a priority for me.

Once this imprint is lost it can never be regained, unfortunately, I myself have experienced this too.

So when I decided to breed , I decided to never raise a puppy in an environment less than what I would offer to a infant itself. 

You see I have very high standards for breeding I stand by, and for those reasons, I stand apart from any other breeder.

Feel free to stop by anytime and take a look for yourself.

 We are able to do this limiting our litters and giving our pets and puppies the attention they deserve. We want you to be as happy with your little ones as we are with ours.
We will be here to assist you with any questions you may have.

We guarantee our puppies to be happy and healthy  and offer a 1 year health guarantee.

We assist in all of our births. 

Our parents are indoor pets, puppies are born in home and cared for 24 hrs.  Our whelping box is kept in our bedroom and our moms are spoiled.

Puppies are well socialized and handled from birth.  
 tails are docked at 3 days old unless born natural docked.  . We offer a health guarantee and sales contract with each puppy.

We encourage you have your new puppy vet checked. 

We give the puppies their first vaccinations at 4 weeks of age.
The first shot is Parvo only, Neo-Par.
(Neo Par is the safest and most effective parvo vaccine for puppies. It is a modified live vaccine containing a high antigenic mass of a highly immunogenic strain of canine parvo.
Neo Par overrides moderate to high antibody levels such as maternal antibodies or from pre-existing vaccination. High levels of IgM and IgG antibodies are generated in puppies. Safe in puppies 3 weeks of age or older.)
At 6 & 8 weeks we give Duramune Max 5 - CVK (Protects against canine distemper, canine hepatitis, respiratory disease caused by adenovirus type 2, canine corona virus, canine parainfluenza and canine parvovirus.) The puppies go to their new homes at 8-12 weeks old with a health/shot record.
Follow up shots need to be given at
9 weeks,
12 weeks
 and
15 weeks old.
Please write it on your calendar! It's critical get the proper shots.

We worm your puppy here , and suggest your vet to worm your puppy as well. If you live in a warm climate, you most likely will be suggested heart worm medication for your new puppy and a

heart worm test performed.
Rabies should be given between 4-6 months old. If your puppy is traveling by airline and is 12 weeks of age or older, a rabies shot will be required by law
In addition to providing the best possible environment and stimulus for the puppies first 8-9 weeks, we continue to be available for any questions the you might have regarding training the puppy and/or problems that might arise.

(Please call for help as it is an

easier way to communicate!) 303-955-7876

Wink

Tiny Tot- male   
this little  boy is just 3lbs

Here's Wink. We love him. Jennifer is so sweet and knowledgeable and loves all these little puppies. I think that is so great how she cares about each of them individually. Wink has been such a special part of our lives we lost our family dog last summer and Wink has certainly been a wonderful blessing to our family. I honestly believe since he was brought up in an environment of love in Jennifer and her families home it is why he's such a sweet baby! Thank you. Take Care.

 

1 Black/Tan Tuxedo male 9lbs


Hey Jennifer,

I didn't want to bother you with another call.  I thought you'd like to know how Ashton is doing.  We had a great first night!  We set up his pen like you had yours set up.  He saw his litter box, jumped in, rolled around and pooped.  We used the blanket in his kennel (cage/crate) and covered it with another blanket.  We had good play time in the back patio with our other dog Max.  They are still sniffing each other out.  He went to sleep easily and we never heard a peep from him all night.  This morning there were no accidents anywhere.  Couldn't ask for a better first night with a puppy.  Right now he's napping.

Thanks so much,
Cynthia


 

 

HERCULES

1 Sable/White male 6 1/2 lbs



Thank you so much for the time and care you and your family put into breeding these dogs. Not only did you do the bare minimum, but it seems you went above and beyond what most breeders would be required to do in terms of training, health, cleanliness, and more. Hercules has an excellent temperament and he is great around my 8 year old child and other pets.

 

I am really happy with the services you provided. Having a dog mostly crate and litter box trained made it very easy for everyone to adapt. He also adapted to leash training very quickly. We thank you for allowing us to visit with Hercules on occasion, and for being extremely patient when we were not sure which dog to choose. We know we chose the right pet, and I believe you helped us with that decision. We also appreciate you assisting with questions and offering lower priced shots in the present and future. Thanks for everything, and I would highly recommend you as a toy rat terrier breeder.
