Hello and Welcome to our website JoyPuppies Home . We would like to take this time to tell you a little bit about us and our breeding goals. We welcome you to browse through our site and view all our dogs and any puppies for sale. We are always here to answer any questions you may have about these wonderful breed of puppies.
Our names are Anderson and Emily Cassandra William. We are also the proud parents of 2 Girls Kendra and Kim. My wife and I was born and raised in the town of Burlington and grew up together as high school sweethearts. Of course we married.My mother and father raised some puppies and there as we were growing up, but mainly was just a small hobby that mother had enjoyed. We also had a family ranch of William's Cattle Co. that was very successful due to the hard work of my father. Breeding had always been in the background of my life so I was no stranger to that. My father had become diagnosed with liver cancer in the year of 1994. So I have felt even more compelled to take over the duties of the ranch once I returned home. As time went on my father became more and more ill and eventually the cancer took his life in the year of 1998. This was the year that I had decided to start my own business of JWilliam's Construction. I went to school to obtain my credentials and license while working at the ranch and also going to school full time. These years were tough on me and my wife having a new child and still not sure what is to come of our life. In the year my father had passed also began a new time in our life as had our first litter of Bulldog puppies and was anxious to see what the future held.
Emily was a stay at home mom during these times while our girls were still very young. She worked as a day-care provider while the girls were growing up as she wanted to be home with them.Emily,was also a licensed cosmetologist and was just waiting for the time that she felt the girls could do without her to pursue her career as well. A chance of this happened and we jumped in with both feet and that was the beginning of Emily's new business "The Hair Shack" She had a wonderful clientele and was becoming very successful with her new business. It seemed everything all at once she was growing and doing very well.Emily had always had an extreme passion for animals and found herself torn between two different things she loved. Eventually her love of animals won out and she decided she wanted to make more time for the needs of our dogs and kennel. She made the decision to close the "Hair Shack" to devote more of her time to our kennel, with the many disappointed customers who still wanted Emily to do their hair. With so many people so disappointed about the closing of "The Hair Shack" Emily wanted me to build a small area in our home so clients could come to our home and she could still service them. So it was done and everyone was thrilled. This went on for quite some time until the days that Emily found herself cutting hair and tending to puppies in between clients. The decision was finally made that she would devote 100% of her time taking care of the one thing she loves...Animals.
I and Emily have always enjoyed our dogs, me and Emily had decided to look into getting a family pet for ourselves. We both had dogs growing up. I had to put down a wonderful dog named Dobbie (Doberman) She was one of the best dogs I have ever had and I knew no matter what, I could never get a dog that would measure up to her. We found ourselves torn between getting another Doberman or something that neither one of us had nor even knew anything about. That led us to the English bulldog. We bought our first English bulldog with no idea about the breed. What a love sick obsession this created. We just wanted a pet; we had no intentions of breeding. With such a strong family background of breeding I began my obsession of studying this breed, along with every pedigree I could find. We have been very lucky to have such great friends and influences. We can't take all the credit of course as our mentors in the breed have been such a great help and blessing to our program. We are very fortunate to have Lucky and Donna Watson and Mike and Christy Otten as our mentors. Their help and guidance has been priceless and we could have never done it without them. The most important goal for us as breeders is produce first and foremost a dog that is healthy with a sound temperament and disposition that is unmatched. Then of course 2nd is true conformation of what a puppy should be. Every breeding we plan is with the fullest intention of breeding up and bettering the breed. We strive our best to maintain a quality of high standard to give families such as yourself an opportunity to enjoy what I believe is the most amazing thing on earth. Once you allow one of these gentle creatures into your hearts they will forever brand you with their love and loyalty. We can never imagine our life without them. They are truly a part of our family.
We want to Thank you again for browsing our website and reading about us and the short story of how we began our life.
How to Take Care of Puppies
Congratulations on choosing a new family member! But the question is, "How can I take care of my puppy?" Remember, this article is for people who have just adopted, purchased, or found a new puppy that's at least 8 weeks old. Pups are usually weaned at 8 weeks, and it's unhealthy to remove them from their mothers before then.
1.Make sure that the puppy you are getting is right for you. Does its coat suit your climate? Is it small enough to live in your apartment or house? Does its energy level suit the amount of exercise you can provide? Careful consideration of these questions will ensure your puppy's well-being. But it will also impact the happiness of your household.
2. Puppy-proof your house. Puppies love to explore with their mouths. To keep your puppy and house safe, you'll need to take a few precautions.
Remove breakable items from the area where you plan to keep your puppy.
Keep all electrical cords raised or covered, and close all low windows.
Lock away toxic cleaning supplies/chemicals.
Get a trash can that is too tall for him to get into and too heavy to knock over.
Consider getting a folding gate or exercise pen to keep him confined to a certain room or area.
3. Provide space for the puppy. The kitchen or bathroom is an ideal place for his bed during the day because those rooms are usually warm and have washable floors. At night, keep your puppy in his crate in your bedroom. This will allow you to hear him during the night, so you will know if he needs to go outside to relieve himself.
4. Buy two metal (stainless steel) bowls — one for food and one for water. These are better than glass because they do not chip and stay cleaner. If you have other pets, be sure to give each pet its own food and water bowls to avoid conflict. At feeding time, you will separate them to prevent fighting over food and to ensure each pet gets the nutrition it needs.
5.Provide a puppy bed. You might consider a crate with a crate pillow, a snuggle nest, or a wicker basket with a lot of towels. Whichever option you choose, make sure it is always soft, comfy, and dry. Have a blanket on hand in case of cool weather. To avoid conflict, each pet should have its own bed.
6. Shower him with toys. Your puppy will be a ball of boundless energy, so make sure you get plenty of toys, including both chew toys and soft toys. The toys should be sturdy enough to prevent choking hazards. Don't give rawhide to puppies as a toy; use it only as a treat.
7. Choose the right puppy treats. Training treats should be healthy, small, and easily chewed or swallowed. Their purpose is to communicate quickly that the puppy did something you liked. But you don't want to wait around for them to finish eating when you want to continue the training.
Consider “Bil Jac” or “Zuke’s Mini Natural” treats.
Make sure you get a variety: crunchy and soft. The soft will be good for training, and the crunchy will help clean teeth.
8. Get him good puppy food. Kibble, canned food, home cooked food, and a raw diet are all good options for a puppy, but discuss each with your veterinarian. When you first get your puppy, ask the breeder, rescue group, or shelter what food your puppy was eating with them. You can continue that diet when they first come to their new home. If you want to make a change, do so after a few weeks, and transition to the new food gradually, over a week or so. Changing foods abruptly can cause vomiting or diarrhea.
Buy a puppy food with no dyes, artificial flavors, or preservatives, as many dogs are allergic to these additives.
9. Buy the basic grooming tools. At the very least, every dog owner needs a bristle brush, comb, rubber gloves, nail clippers, dog shampoo, dog conditioner, dog toothpaste, dog toothbrush, and towels. Grooming isn't just about keeping your dog pretty. These tools will keep him healthy and happy, too.
10. Provide a nylon harness, flat collar (webbed nylon or leather), and metal tag. Poorly sized collars can hurt puppies' necks and injure their throats. Remember when sizing the harness or collar that your puppy will grow.
