Available puppies
We are going to expect a litter of puppies this fall.
As responsible animal breeders, we carefully screen potential owners to ensure they understand exactly what is required to care for our puppies.
To reserve a puppy, please:
- Fill out a questionnaire. We will contact you shortly.
- To place you in the queue, a $306 deposit is required (please read General Deposit Information). The remaining balance needs to be paid at the time you pick up the puppy. If we are not able to provide you with the right puppy (gender or color), we can refund the deposit or transfer the deposit to the next upcoming litter. Otherwise, the deposit is nonrefundable. The puppy-deposit claims are governed by the “first-come, first-served” rule, which means by order of deposits received.
After you’re placed in the queue, we will have the honor of keeping you up-to-date on the puppy you reserved. Pictures, videos, and written updates on their health, enthusiasm, and early stages of life will be provided on our Facebook page.
- We encourage you to check our "Food and Supplements" and "Important things that your puppy needs" information to ensure you have everything you need to keep your puppy healthy and happy.
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO KEEP FIRST PICK OF ANY LITTER.
Puppies that we raised have been used as companions, service animals, and great family pets!
We are selling puppies under limited registration only.
A limited registration voids breeding rights.
Puppies will be available for pickup at 7-8 weeks of age. This is a typical time of age when puppies are going to their new homes. They are going to have a first round of shots and be dewormed.
This is followed by hand-picking an unclaimed pup that will, in turn, be yours from then on.
Please contact us to make a deposit.
We accept cash (preferred), Venmo, Cash App, Zelle .
The New Puppy Checklist
Your puppy's first year is crucial for their growth. They require special nutrition for strong bones, teeth, and overall development, as well as a shiny coat. Begin with a well-rounded puppy food to ensure they get the right start.
Buy small, low-calorie treats to reward your puppy for good behavior during training. Follow the "10% rule": Ensure that treats make up no more than 10% of your puppy's daily calorie intake.
Select a lightweight nylon or leather collar and leash for your puppy's initial gear. Determine the appropriate collar size by measuring the neck and adding two inches. Regularly inspect the collar to ensure it hasn't become too small. For effective training and walks, opt for a leash that is six feet in length.
Turn the crate into your dog's sanctuary, a cozy spot for sleep and security. Place it close to where the family gathers, so your dog feels included. The crucial aspect of crate usage is to always associate it with positive experiences and never as a form of punishment.
For short-haired breeds, use a brush with natural bristles, a rubber curry comb or grooming hand mitt. A sturdy wide-tooth metal comb and perhaps a slicker brush are needed for long-haired breeds.
Ensuring your pet has safe toys is a crucial aspect of your pet gear. These toys assist in your dog's exercise routine and offer a secure avenue to meet your puppy's natural urge to chew. Enjoyable and typically safe options include rubber toys that can be filled with treats, nylon chews, and hard rubber balls.
Attach an identification tag securely to the collar with your new dog's name, your name, address, and phone number. Another option for identification is microchipping. Seek advice from your veterinarian to learn more about this identification method.
Vaccination
Puppy vaccinations are vital for protecting your furry friend from serious diseases. Begin vaccinations at 6-8 weeks, with boosters until around 16 weeks. Core shots cover parvovirus, distemper, canine hepatitis, and rabies. Follow your vet's schedule and consider lifestyle-specific vaccines for added protection. Regular check-ups ensure a healthy start for your puppy
