PSA: Please be more careful than ever with your dogs/puppies. Due to the Puppy Shortage, they area being stolen more than ever. As you can see above the title of Inside Edition, they call it a Pandemic Puppy Shortage, however we were starting to get long waiting lists even before the pandemic.

What it's like to get a puppy from us:

Because of the high demand for quality puppies right now, we have changed some of our policies.

We are now accepting deposits for upcoming litters. If you desire a specific gender, color, or markings, and there is not one in the most current litter, your deposit will be rolled over to the next upcoming litter. Only people who are very serious about getting a puppy are allowed on the list in order to keep from having a list with hundreds of people on it.

During the six to eight weeks after a puppy is born, you will receive weekly pictures and updates if you want to. We put color coded collars on the pups on day two or three. This helps us keep track of weight and growth, as well as personality traits of the puppies. Some puppies quickly show personality traits such as preferring to sleep in a pile of puppies, while others move away a bit to sleep better by themselves. Some pups are more vocal and bark and growl early, and some are more quiet. Some are quick to push other pups out of the way to get exactly where they need to be to nurse, while some pups need more help. As the weeks go on, some are more shy and quiet, and others are more vocal and athletic. Keeping track of all of this helps us to place each puppy with the perfect family. It's fun to share the details with you along the way.

VISITATION POLICY: We understand how fun it is to play with puppies, however we are not a pet store, we raise puppies in our home. We are not open to the public, like a pet store is. We raise Golden Retrievers and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels so there are various litters in our home throughout the year.

Puppies have immature immune systems. It's important to protect new puppies from exposure to diseases that could be unintentionally brought in by visitors. Diseases that a young puppy can succumb to are often times brought in on shoes and clothing.

The Dams are protective of their babies. They can get stressed by unfamiliar sights and smells of visitors. Stress can cause her body to release cortisol into the milk supply. The puppies can then ingest the cortisol and it can stress their bodies as well. This can cause thriving issues for puppies.

We hope that you understand this policy as a reflection of being responsible and caring about the well-being of our puppies and Dams.
We are happy to share videos or introduce you to our pets on FaceTime or Portal.

Puppies can go to their forever homes about eight weeks, depending on various factors. If you have very small children at home, or larger pets, we prefer to keep the puppies the full 8 weeks. If not, and the puppy shows they are mature enough by eating solid foods and showing some sense of independence, you may take your puppy home a bit earlier. Just as with human babies, we feel it is important for you to have bonding time with your puppy as early as it is feasible. 

When you pick up your puppy, we will provide you with a folder which will include a copy of your contract, Veterinarian and shot records, registration forms. You will also receive a small bag of the food they are used to, as well as a small blanket with the scent of their mother and litter mates.

From the time you put down your first deposit, you are always welcome to contact us with any questions. We love to receive calls, texts, and emails with updates and pictures after you bring your puppy home!
