We are hobby, or in-home breeders, which means that one or both of the parent dogs are our family pets, and we typically have no more than one litter a year. Our puppies are raised inside of our home (not in an outbuilding or enclosure) and have daily attention, care, and love from us. As a large family, it’s a group effort to do all we can to give our puppies the absolute best start to their lives and prepare them for their new families and homes!

We announce the exact price for each litter at the time of listing. However, typically the cost for our puppies is around $2,500. We have a deposit of $500, which will reserve the puppy until the pickup date. The balance is due at the time of pickup. Our puppy families receive a written deposit agreement and a bill of sale to have for their records.

All interested puppy families will be able to review the health documentation and testing for both the mother and father of our litters. In addition to that, we have the AKC registrations and pedigrees for both parents. Our litters are AKC registered, and buyers receive paperwork to complete the registration process for their individual puppy if they wish to do so. Puppies are vet-checked, immunized, and dewormed and go home with the vet packet. We also provide a one-year health guarantee for our puppies.

We typically begin in-person puppy visits once our litters are four weeks old. This allows them to have the first weeks of development with their mother, uninterrupted. We have also begun to pan potty-train them by this point and have started the weaning process. In addition, it is at this age that their personalities and character traits become more evident. We also offer virtual visits (FaceTime, Zoom, etc.) and have done these before four weeks, depending on the situation.

We do take deposits at any age, if anyone prefers to reserve a puppy before coming for a visit. We have a waitlist which allows people to reserve a puppy from a future litter, but we do not take deposits until the litter is actually born.

Our puppies cannot go home until they are 8 weeks old. This allows them to have the first two months with their mother and their brothers & sisters, which gives them more time to complete their development and socialization, fully wean, and master pan potty-training.

From the moment the puppies are born, they are socialized, first by their mother, who is with them constantly, and second by their brothers and sisters, with whom they ultimately spend the most time.

The puppies are also socialized with us, as we are almost constantly present with them from birth until they go to their homes. Human interaction is very significant, and the puppies certainly have that in abundance around here! They are cared for, held, and played with by us and our children every day and very quickly become incredibly responsive to people. They are also around our other pets and animals which furthers their scope of socialization.

While good health and genetic diversity are absolutely important and priorities, our main focus is to raise puppies that will be wonderful family dogs! We have also had several puppies that have become excellent service dogs, which is a special level of disposition, intelligence, and socialization.

We begin BIOSENSOR TRAINING when the puppies are only a few days old. This involves simple daily handling and exercises that gently stimulate the puppies’ neurological systems. This training strengthens their immune systems, improves their cardiac health, helps their adrenal systems handle stress better, and even leads to better disposition and temperament development. It’s a small early effort that yields significant lasting results!

We also use PAN POTTY TRAINING with our litters beginning around three weeks of age. This helps them understand that they do their “business” only in one place and on natural material (grass). It’s always amazing how quickly the puppies learn this! This training does not mean that they will never have accidents or won’t need further training, but it certainly gives them a huge headstart to being housebroken.

We also introduce crate training through CRATE EXPOSURE around five weeks of age. Our litters will make a "puppy pile" in the crate to sleep and quickly begin to associate their crate as a safe home base, and not their bathroom, which helps ready them to fully crate train once home.
