Our story
Hi! My name is Amy Lamb and I live with my husband and 6 kids in a cabin at the foot of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. We live on 10 acres that connects to a national forest and it is truly paradise. We love of our dogs and hand raise our puppies in our home with our kids and our 2 cats. I have been a Certified Nurse-Midwife and a Clinical Researcher for almost 20 years, but was looking for a way to help support my family, use my midwife skills and spend more time at home with my kids. This is how Snowy & Co. was born.
Science and Heart
Our puppies are a combination of science and heart. We carefully consider each decision, starting with genetics by pursuing hybrid vigor and the ideal temperament in our breeding, we do early puppy neurological stimulation starting at day 3, and environment and desensitization exposure building through week 8 of life. We prioritize high-quality food, a clean environment, and regular gentle handling. Our children are the best of helpers by lovingly playing with the puppies as they develop and ensuring they grow to be amazing family dogs.
Unlike many large breeding kennels, our puppies stay with their mothers and littermates until they go home to their families. This ensures that they receive optimal immune support from mothers antibodies and gain all the value of her socializing them. We also do basic early training (eg. sit), begin teaching bite inhibition, and lay a foundation for potty training.
