Our Vision & Breeding Philosophy

ree

We currently offer F1 Sheepadoodles — the beautiful first-generation blend of Old English Sheepdog and Poodle — and are thoughtfully expanding into F2 and Multigen lines. Each new step in our breeding program comes only after much research, prayer, and discernment.



We’ve been deeply pleased and humbled by the puppies born through our program — each one a reflection of our commitment to health, intelligence, and temperament. Our goal isn’t to grow bigger, but to keep growing better — nurturing relationships, stewarding our dogs well, and helping each family find the puppy meant for them.



Weeks 1–3: Growing, Gaining, & Bond in


These are the quiet, tender days of new life. Puppies focus on eating, sleeping, and growing — all while building a deep bond with their mother.


We provide our dams the peaceful environment they need to nurse and nurture their litter with minimal distractions. During this stage, we introduce Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) to gently enhance circulation, stress tolerance, and brain development.


It’s a calm, compatible time where foundational trust begins.



Weeks 3–4: Sensory & Exploratory Week


This is when the world begins to open up! Puppies’ eyes and ears are now functioning, allowing them to explore light, sound, and touch.


We introduce soft sounds, gentle handling, and new textures underfoot — helping each pup build resilience and confidence. This early exposure ensures they grow into bold, curious, and emotionally stable companions who aren’t easily startled by new experiences.



Weeks 4–6: Independence & Learning


As curiosity blooms, we begin Independence Training — including “default sit” and early potty training through the use of a doggy door.


Puppies start spending time in their outdoor play yard, learning through natural littermate interaction how to play appropriately, respect boundaries, and control their bite pressure.


These weeks are about scaffolding off their earlier confidence, giving them freedom in a safe, structured way.



Weeks 6–8: Exposure & Crate Training


By now, personalities are shining! Pups begin carefully supervised exposure adventures — stroller walks, meeting new people, car rides and hearing farm sounds and household noises.


We protect their developing immune systems while thoughtfully exposing them to life’s normal sights and sounds.


We also introduce crate training and reinforce positive associations — rest, safety, and calm — alongside continued default sit and impulse control.



Week 8: Gotcha Day! 🎉


By eight weeks, your puppy is well-socialized, confident, and ready to meet their forever family.


We like to say this is when the torch is passed — from our hands to yours — to continue what’s been beautifully started.


Your Life Unleashed Farm puppy will arrive equipped with the foundation of manners, trust, and resilience that will help them thrive in your home and heart. ❤️
