Welcome to heartsoulk9breeding.com Breeder

Heart and Soul Dog Breeding, Inc., located in Gainesville, Florida, offers a comprehensive Whelping Service Program for dog owners who lack the time, skills, or resources to manage the whelping process themselves. This service involves providing 24/7 care for the mother dog (dam) and her puppies from one week before the expected due date until the puppies are ready to go to their new homes at eight weeks of age. The program is designed for breeders who have AKC Full registration rights and need assistance with health testing, stud matches, and the actual whelping and neonatal care.

The service includes a range of specialized equipment and care, such as an incubator, oxygen concentrator, aspirator, nebulizer, heat lamp or mat, life saver, life drops, liver water, calcium supplements, oralade (electrolyte solution), 24-hour video monitoring, twice-daily weighing, vet bedding with traction mat, litter pads, pet-safe paint and collars, subcutaneous fluids, fresh plasma, and temperature monitoring. The breeding facility also has a puppy neonatal intensive care nursery and staff with experience handling special needs puppies, including those requiring tube feeding, flat chest correction, or swimmer puppy care.

Pricing for the whelping services varies based on the type of delivery and the number of puppies. A basic natural whelping service costs $1,500 for litters of six puppies or fewer, with an additional $100 for each puppy over five. The "Whelping Plus" service, which covers complications like stalled labor, tube feeding, or extensive resuscitation, is priced at $2,500 and includes the same fee structure for extra puppies. Post-delivery care is charged weekly, with primary care at $700 per week for up to four puppies, increasing by $50 per additional puppy, and higher tiers for intermediate and advanced care that include specialized training and socialization. A planned C-section incurs a $500 fee for the breeder's assistance, plus travel costs if the vet is over 30 miles away.

The program also includes health testing services such as reverse progesterone testing, brucellosis testing, thyroid testing, and genetic health panels, with fees ranging from $100 to $200 per test. The breeder offers mentorship and consultation services for new breeders, including a $1,000 fee for an 8-hour day of mentorship and $100 per hour for consultations. All dams must be fully vaccinated and have a negative brucellosis test within one week of entering the facility. The puppies are raised in a home environment, not a kennel, with a focus on cleanliness, safety, and early socialization to promote better health and temperament.
