A Day in the Life of a Family Affair Puppy

Every morning at Family Affair Puppies begins with wagging tails and eager eyes. Our puppies wake up surrounded by love, warmth, safety, and the sound of family life. From sunrise to bedtime, their day is carefully structured to provide both care and connection.

This is how a day in the life of a Family Affair Puppy looks like:

Feeding Time: Nutrition is a key foundation for a puppy’s development. Our pups are given high-quality, vet-recommended food that supports growing bodies and curious minds. Fresh water is always available, and feedings are scheduled at consistent times and portioned appropriately for their age and breed.

Playtime and Enrichment: After breakfast, it’s playtime! Our puppies enjoy both indoor and outdoor play. They explore safe areas where they can run, climb, tumble, and interact with toys designed to build cognitive and motor skills. Through supervised play with their littermates, puppies develop essential social skills like bite control and friendly interaction.

Early Training and Socialization: From as early as three weeks of age, we begin gently introducing puppies to basic handling. This includes gently touching their paws, checking ears, and holding them in various ways. This helps them become more comfortable with grooming and vet visits later in life.

We also expose them to common household sounds like vacuum cleaners, televisions, doorbells, and children playing. This helps ensure that when they arrive in your home, nothing feels unfamiliar or frightening. These “puppy culture” practices encourage the development of confident, well-rounded dogs who can adjust more easily to different lifestyles and routines.

Our Commitment to Health and Care

We take health seriously. Our puppies follow a strict vaccination schedule, receive regular veterinary checkups, and are raised under the highest standards of care. As a Canine Care Certified™ breeder, we meet rigorous, science-based welfare standards developed by Purdue University. This certification reflects our dedication to physical and emotional well-being, something every puppy parent should look for when choosing puppy breeders in Indiana.

Why Family Matters

Unlike large-scale kennels or commercial operations, our puppies grow up in the center of our home, not in isolated buildings. They experience real-life family dynamics, from dinnertime conversations to weekend movie nights. These exposures give them the confidence to transition seamlessly into your family.

They’re raised with love, not just logistics.

Research shows that puppies raised in real-life, home environments are less fearful, better adjusted, and form bonds more quickly when they transition to their forever homes. They become more adaptable, making them better suited for life with young children, active families, or quieter households alike.

Each puppy is treated like one of our own until it’s time for them to be a part of your family.

From Our Family to Yours

We know that welcoming a puppy is a big decision, as it comes with great responsibilities. What do they eat, how to train them, how to understand them, and more such things. But not to worry, we’re here to help you at every step. We don’t just hand over our puppy to you; we guide you through the transition step by step. From personalized counseling and preparation tips to travel coordination or in-person pickup, we make the process as seamless and joyful as possible. Our support doesn’t end at adoption; we’re here for you as your puppy grows.
