Current Litter- Born October 29, 2025

Sweetbay's My Kind of Rain "Riley" began showing signs of labor on October 28, 2025, around 7 p.m. with gentle panting, nesting, and restlessness. Her first puppy made a grand entrance on October 29, 2025, at 1:31 a.m., and by 6:05 a.m., she had delivered a beautifully balanced litter of ten—five boys and five girls. An even split of five boys and 5 girls makes this litter extra special! Riley handled her first whelping beautifully, and both she and her puppies are thriving. We couldn't be prouder of this amazing mama! Check out our Facebook page for the latest pictures, videos, and updates. We are currently taking deposit on this litter.

Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI)

We give our puppies a head starts through two proven early development programs:  Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI).

ENS, also known as the "Bio Sensor" or "Super Dog" program was developed by the U.S. military, ENS consists simple exercises performed daily from the 3rd through the 16th day of life including tactile stimulation, head positioning, and thermal exposure. ENS can improve health and immunity, enhance stress tolerance, accelerate learning and problem-solving, and foster emotional stability. This results in confident, well-adjusted puppies that are ready to take on the world with their new families.

ESI, also known as the "Avidog" program compliments ENS by focusing on the puppy's sense of smell. Each day from days 3-16, puppies are introduced to a new scent- from herbs and fruits to outdoor elements and training-related items. This builds early scent recognition, curiosity, and confidence laying the foundation for future success in possible scent related service dog work, hunting, tracking, nose work sports, and even family fun games like finding hidden treats or fetching your slippers. 

Together, ENS and ESI help us raise confident, well-adjusted, and scent-savvy puppies ready to thrive in any home or career path!
