A little more about Us
First of all, it’s worth noting that we have been in the puppy business for over a decade. One of the bi-products of being in business that long, is that most of our clients come to us via referrals from past happy customers. because of that, our puppies from the moms we have in our home are just about always sold out, with every spot reserved before they are born.
So over the years, we have not only worked with families who provide loving, living environments for our parent dogs but we have also developed a small network of breeders here in Ohio who adhere to the same breeding practices we use. Namely, we require that the moms and studs are kept and cared for in loving family environments and that the puppies are well socialized and used to children as they grow up. We then help connect their puppies with loving families as well. This typically happens when we are sold out of our own puppies. So our puppies come from all of the above.
One of the reasons our trusted breeders chose us to help them place their puppies, is because, we relieve some stress from their busy lives, by handling the photoshoots ( 3 weeks apart ), all sales calls, customer service, pick up and delivery of puppies, etc…
How often can i get a picture update of my puppy ?
While we want to make your puppy buying experience as fulfilling and enjoyable as possible, we like for families to understand that we have to stick to a scheduled picture update, that is typically 3 weeks apart.
For you to get a better perspective of why that is, please consider that we as well as many of the breeders we partner with, are working around the clock to maintain a healthy environment for our pups. That includes our guardian homes. We have about 1 to 3 mom dogs. For the most part, when you have two or 3 females in the same space, their heat cycle sync and they all go into heat and pretty much have puppies at the same time. ( we hope they spread it out across several months, but That just about never happens )
If an average litter has 8 -10 puppies, you then have a family taking care of 18 -30 pups at once. It’s rewarding and fun, but it’s also a lot of work. So imagine having 18 to 30 families asking for photo updates and videos every other day…It makes it nearly impossible to do.
-We devote an appropriate amount of time and energy toward nurturing and caring for the moms and pups.
-It’s extremely stressful for us, the guardian home, and/or the trusted breeder family to grant those requests daily. (outside of the 3 weeks schedule).
That is why we ask for your flexibility with us in this process and understand our need to stick to a schedule. We hope this makes sense and that this helps clarify things for you.
What’s our trusted breeder selection?
We have a pretty rigorous selection process to include a breeder in our “trusted breeder program” and they are held to the same standards and expectations we have ourselves. Given that our clients are still provided with our 1-year health guarantee when getting a puppy through us, we ensure that the breeders have practices that live up to our reputation. These are just a few things we require
- Have a minimum of 2 years of breeding experience
- provide a family living environment for the parent dogs
- Have a sanitary whelping space free of harmful chemicals for the mom dogs
- Have Children in the home, that ensures much better socialization of the puppies
- Must agree to a pre-established photo update schedule for pups,( every 3 weeks ) and provide photos as needed for parent dogs
- Agree to Photos either taken by the breeder family or a photographer.
- Crush on our 3-week schedule
- Get all the puppies on our Dewormer schedule when the pups are 2,4,6 and 8 weeks old
- Ensure each puppy receives a DAPP vaccine one week prior to them going home
What do we receive with the puppy when they come home?
You can be rest assured you are getting a healthy well-rounded puppy. We start when they are born with early stimulation. All of our babies come from health-tested parents and lines. We also include the following:
-> Puppy care package includes paperwork that consists of:
- Vaccination and deworming record.
- Our 1-year health guarantee puppy contract.
-> We also include:
- A toy with the scent of the litter.
-> Lifetime breeder support. Our dogs are our family and once you have our puppy, you are a part of our extended family. We are here for you for the life of your puppy.
Who can by a puppy from us?
Our primary focus is providing loving, nurturing, and safe homes for our puppies. So we prefer that our puppies go to families and/or people who have the time, financial resources and space to safely take care of a puppy. Please be advised, Although many breeders do a good job, We do not sell to breeders; our puppies are sold as pets or therapy/service animals only.
Will your puppy be vaccinated?
YES! You will be provided with a vaccination record at the time you pick up your puppy.
What should i know about potty training or litter box training ?
Potty training is an ongoing process that has more to do with your ability to stick to certain disciplines and establish a good routine for your pup.
Should i crate my puppy at night or just use a litter box?
Both have their advantages, but we recommend using a litter box.
