Our Philosophy

Thriving Dogs Provide The Best Support To Their Families

At Habibi Bears, we believe that the foundation of a happy and healthy puppy begins with natural rearing. This holistic approach to dog breeding and puppy care emphasizes vitality, longevity, and the overall well-being of our dogs. By focusing on natural methods, we ensure that our Habibi Bears—a unique, hypoallergenic, and non-shedding breed—grow up to be the ideal family companion.

“In loving Memory of our sweet Belle”

This page is a tribute to the Conway family and their cherished dog, Belle. She was a beloved member of our Habibi Bear family and will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We share her story here to raise awareness about the critical issue of over-vaccination and the harmful effects of flea and tick treatments. Tragically, Belle experienced severe and irreversible health issues, ultimately leading to her untimely passing. The Conway family wishes to share Belle’s story to prevent others from enduring the heartbreak of losing a beloved companion to the same avoidable tragedy. May her story serve as a poignant reminder to prioritize the well-being of our furry friends.

What is Natural Rearing?

Natural Rearing is a method of raising dogs that mimics how they would live in a natural environment. It prioritizes:

A Nutrient-Dense, Species-Appropriate Diet: We provide a balanced diet made from whole, natural ingredients that support optimal health.
Minimized Exposure to Toxins: Our breeding program avoids harsh chemicals, synthetic medications, and unnecessary vaccinations whenever possible, opting for natural alternatives to support immunity.
Stress-Free Environments: Puppies are raised in loving, developmentally appropriate settings, ensuring their emotional and physical needs are met.

Benefits of Natural Rearing for Habibi Bears

Healthier Puppies: Our holistic breeding practices reduce the risk of common health issues and improve vitality, ensuring your puppy thrives.
Allergy-Friendly Companions: As a hypoallergenic and non-shedding breed, Habibi Bears are perfect for families with allergies.
Emotional and Social Development: Our natural puppy-raising approach supports emotional resilience and prepares puppies for life as therapy dogs, emotional support animals, or cherished pets.
Longevity: By focusing on genetic diversity and avoiding harmful practices, we promote longer, healthier lives for our dogs.

This philosophy aligns with our mission to raise resilient, intuitive, and allergy-friendly puppies that are ready to become beloved members of your family.

Start the Process

The Schultz Modified Vaccination Schedule

With puppy rearing, our Habibi Bears are given the best start to life by providing a modified protocol and titer testing following the Dr. Schultz safe vaccine protocols (read slideshow below). Over vaccination leads to many health problems including cancer, arthritis, bowel issues, allergies, skin issues, behavioral problems and more. Every vaccine has the potential to reactions and chronic disease so it is important that vaccines are given minimally and only for diseases that are prevalent and for which there is no effective cure. The vaccine must also work to prevent that particular disease (which is not the case in many circumstances).

Immunity Support
It is important to remember that vaccines do not immunize: they sensitize. The reality is, over-vaccinating can over-sensitize and the dog becomes sensitized not only to the virus injected, but to his own body tissues as well. This is auto-immune disease and the very real consequence to modified live vaccines.
We recommend using immune support and detox with any vaccines, followed by titer testing for immunity to arm yourself with knowledge instead of vaccinating when unnecessary.

Schultz Recommends

According to Dr. Schultz, dogs should receive the following core vaccines:

Parvo/Distemper/Adenovirus 8, 12, 16 weeks and titer test at least two weeks after the last dose

Rabies after 20 weeks, given separately from other vaccines

Our puppies are given age-appropriate vaccinations

Thank you for your kind words. Not a day goes by when I don’t think of Belle. I miss her terribly. The homeopathic vet confirmed that the excessive medication more than likely triggered the auto-immune response. We can’t look back at what happened, but going forward, we can help educate others to be their pet’s healthcare advocate, and I am going to play a big part too. Please carry on with your education project and use our story to prevent any further tragedies with your sweet, precious pups.

If Belle’s death can help others, there is a silver lining to this horrible tragedy. Because of Covid, Belle got so much more time with her family in the last year and a half.

Dr. Schultz’s
& Dr. Dodd’s
Modified Vaccine Schedules

Per Dr. Shultz’s immunology research, he discovered the optimal age for vaccine efficacy – 16 weeks. (see slideshow below)
Dr. Dodd’s protocols
The more vaccines given at once, the greater the risk of vaccine associated damage: including catching the very disease that you are trying to vaccinate against.
