Adding a new puppy to your home is supposed to be a joyful event- both for prospective new families and for us as the breeders who have raised and loved each puppy and now entrusting our babies to you.

But these days, you as a puppy buyer have heard about scams, you have heard about puppy mills as well as advice that sounds like all reputable breeders will invite you to visit. You want to ensure that you are getting a healthy, happy home raised puppy.

When we first started breeding, visiting breeder's homes and picking out a puppy that " bonded" to you was the norm.  But times have changed. 

• Parvo is now rampant, and your "visit" could kill every puppy in a breeder's home.   Parvo is easily tracked on clothing and shoes and can live for many years in the soil or concrete. Please do more research on Parvo.
• Both adults and children have dropped puppies.  We have had breeder friends  whose dropped puppies died.  Ask yourself- if you went to visit a breeder and held a puppy who fell or was injured would you be responsible financially for this?  That puppy was also a member of its breeders family- you can't make up for the bond of the Mother dog and her puppy or for the breeders dog to our puppies.
• Safety is a major concern for both ourselves, our families and our puppies.  Ask yourself would you let someone you did not know into your home?  Use your bathroom, creep around the house looking into your children's bedrooms? If you had something valuable-lets say you had some diamonds, would you actually allow people to come into your home and know exactly where those diamonds were? Many breeders and their families have been robbed or killed.  Puppies and even all the adult dogs have been stolen.   As Mothers we just can't risk our families safety.
• Covid-19- Covid was a major wake up call for us and we know it was for many people as well.  There is always the possibility of the the next big epidemic- keeping our families and your family safe is our priority. 

We take the time to build a relationship with prospective new families.... Not only to make a great match for each of our puppies but for the safety of our families and puppy buyers alike.  

What we do: 

• Each prospective puppy buyer must fill out an Adoption form.

• We will often ask you some questions in email to start but each prospective buyer must complete a phone interview.​
• We share multiple pictures and puppies of each of our puppies
• We reply promptly to calls, texts and emails and guide you throughout the process.
• We update pictures and videos so you can see your puppy grow- remember that we generally bathe and groom puppies before pictures or video so while we try for weekly updates, sometimes they are bi monthly. 
• We maintain an active website and Social media presence- this website has been around since 2008- scammers are around days or weeks. 
• We generally allow in person pick up in our backyard- due to Covid safety protocol. 
• We can do Facetime or take new pics/ video to ensure that your puppy is healthy and happy and being raised with love. 

Note:
We still recommend that people do their research.  If the price is too cheap, the breeder can't call you or doesn't have a known reputation it is likely a scam.
