Puppies are raised indoors alongside family routines, benefiting from daily socialization with children, visitors and household pets. Pedigrees are documented, and parents are on display for visitors to meet before choosing a puppy. Nutrition is tailored to each growth stage, and early neurological stimulation exercises support confident, adaptable temperaments. Owners often comment on the terriers’ spirited curiosity balanced by a gentle, affectionate nature that reflects Vass’s thoughtful rearing methods. She provides thorough guidance for new families, sharing care tips and temperament profiles to help each puppy settle smoothly. Occasional visits to local dog-friendly parks introduce the dogs to community life before they depart for their new homes.
