We've been raising puppies since 1995. I have many years prior experience in the field as well, my mother raised puppies for over 30 years.

Yes, but only to serious prospective buyers. We are grateful to those happy customers who have volunteered on our behalf to be a reference and do not want to over-burden them with casual inquiries.

Although we understand families wanting to visit, for the protection of our puppies we no longer allow visits. It only takes one visitor to bring us the deadly "parvo" and we will loose a large percentage of our puppies. Most of us professional breeders have moved to this policy. The risk is simply to great, it is our job to protect them and we take that job quite seriously. 

Unfortunately not. This would be upsetting for our own dogs, and we don't want to risk introducing potentially harmful diseases into our environment.

Yes, after the introductory period. Most older dogs find they enjoy having a new companion, and puppies are very resilient and well-able to adapt.

While all efforts are made to accommodate our customers, we try to limit the amount of exposure to potentially harmful bacteria or disease that enters our environment. Due to this, our policy is to not allow visits during this time.

So many people, when they set out to find a puppy, are looking for a "sweet little girl."  For some reason, in a smaller dog, "sweet little" seems to match a female rather than a male.  However, we find that either sex makes an equally good pet.

Many times people find that males are more eager to please, as well as more motivated by treats, which can make them easier to train.  Females are usually more independent, between both genders, it is actually the females, rather than the males, that are more likely to exhibit dominant behavior, such as mounting or fighting over the food dish; in nature, it is the females that determine pecking order. 

So, as stated above, we really believe either sex makes an equally good pet.  Whichever you choose, you will find that your puppy will love to run and caper when it's time to play, then simply melt in your arms when you're ready for some loving!

No, we actually see there are advantages either way.  Obviously, in the summer, nobody has to freeze themselves waiting for puppy to get the job done.  However, in the winter, the puppy is more likely to want to hurry up and finish so he can go back in the house, rather than take his time to smell the flowers and chase a butterfly.

 For various reasons, no, we will not "buy back" or offer a refund for any puppy or dog.  However, in most cases, we very happily will take them back for re-homing.  We are the best resource available for finding the perfect home for the dog you purchased from us, either recently or several years ago!

Yes, whether buying two at the same time or one now and one at a later date we do offer a discount of $200.00.

Generally speaking, we do not hold puppies. Puppies are picked up on Saturday's, the actual time will be determined by myself and emailed to you 1 week prior to the puppies going home. for this reason, we ask families to please keep your schedule open on the date the puppy is ready to go home so you are able to accomidate our schedule.

There are times we may be able to hold a puppy for a short period. This is on a case by case basis and must be approved by me in writing (email) prior to placing your deposit.

If we agree to hold a puppy, there may be a 50.00 per week additional fee (we do not pro-rate) and your puppy must be paid for in full by 6 weeks of age. We are unable to hold puppies past 8 weeks that are not paid for in full.

   No, this in no way makes us a puppy mill. When females live together, many times they start to cycle together which means they will bred at similar times. So there may be times when we have several litters at the same time.

All puppies are micro-chipped prior to leaving. When you arrive to pick up your puppy you will fill out the registration form to register the micro-chip into your name. We will mail this in to transfer the micro-chip into your name, we generally mail these quarterly. Your puppy is still protected during this time, if the micro-chip has not been registered they will call the lot # owner who is myself.

If you want your puppy to have a tag with their micro-chip number on it, you will need to purchase this on your own seperately.

At your first vet visit, your vet should automatically scan your puppy so his micro-chip number is part of his permanant medical record. However if your vet does not do this, please ask them do so on your first visit.

Your puppy's micro-chip number is written on the contract and stamped on the immunization record which you receive when you pick-up your puppy. You can also walk into any vet and ask them to scan your puppy to get the number if you misplace the info we send home with you.

For your convenience, we fill out and send home an immunization record including date of birth for each puppy.

We also include your puppy's immunizations and date of birth in our written contract so you have two records of your puppy's vaccinations.

We use some of the best vaccinations on the market. All puppies will have had a NeoPar vaccine, Bordetella (kennel Cough), and their first 5-way booster prior to leaving our home.

Puppy pick-up days are big days and VERY busy. We wake the babies up early to eat and drink (hoping they eat early enough to prevent car sickness). Then we give every puppy a fresh bath and blow-dry so they are beautiful, soft and snuggly for their new home.

We generally schedule 45-60 minutes for a group of 2-3 families to come at the same time. Most days this is plenty of time to go over the contract, go over care, feeding, immunizations, training, answering questions etc..

Once in a while, we do run a few minutes behind...If this happens to you, I apologize and ask for your patience as we want every family to get the time they need so they go home feeling confident.

Absolutely as long as you let us know ahead of time. We used to have our mamas running around to greet the families, however one of them jumped up on a customers car and scratched it all the way down in several spots. This was very costly to fix. For this reason, we no longer have our mamas running around to greet families.

Unfortunately not.

There are video's of our puppies playing in our kitchen, where they are raised, posted on our website.

As stated in other pages on our website, we take the job of protecting our babies very seriously. We love and adore our babies and the spread of disease is real, DEATH IS REAL when it comes to Parvo and other diseases. We feel it's in our puppies best interest to not allow visitors into their environment.

Our puppies are raised in the main part of our home. I do not personally know you, for the safety of my family, my dogs and our puppies, customers are not allowed in the main part of my home. 

All showings are done in our home, in the showing area.

Dogs in our breeding program have been OFA tested for hips and elbows, as well as have had extensive DNA testing for genetic disease well known for their breed.  

 Our puppies are born in the main part of our home, where they stay for the first few to several days of their new begining. Then they are moved to our beautiful sunroom with big windows and tons of natural light. This is a slightly quieter place for mama as she is very protective and will become anxious in the open, she wants privacy with her newborns.

Then between 5 & 6 weeks, our puppies are weaned and moved to our kitchen where they have free reign. We paper train or litter box them with alfalfa grass pellets. They are raised under foot being picked up several times day to be loved on, making a point of placing them on their back to receive belly rubs, as well as touching their paws and face to get them used to being handled and well socialized.

We paper train our puppies (which makes potty training easier) and acclimate them to a crate by crating them for naps a couple times a day to make the transition smooth for both puppy and their new family. Many families tell us their puppy potty trained in 1-3 weeks.

We used to have all our adults in our home, however intact males cannot be unsupervised together as they will fight over their territory, and of course the ladies...

The ladies become alpha's and protective when becoming mothers. As you can imagine, the mama bear comes out in all of us when we have a new baby. Our adults rotate between our home and our kennel, this is for the safety of our dogs. We have a beautiful kennel that is only a few years old with heated floors and air conditioning.

Our dogs are loved and very much a part of our family. They eat a quality dog food, take vitimins, recieve routine medical care, are groomed regularly, get plenty of excercise, love and affection. I have worked hard as a breeder to produce healthy, loving dogs with exceptional personalities.
