Choose Your Puppy
We want families to choose their puppy once the puppies are around 4-5 wks old, so we can advertise the others. Families are welcome to schedule an in-person visit or a video call to reserve their furry family member.

Photos and Videos
We send pictures and/or a video clip once a week until the puppy can go home.
Families are also welcome to schedule visits with their puppy until he/she can go home.

Exams and Vaccinations
Our puppies all visit the vet at 8 weeks of age for their health checkup, vaccinations, and deworming. Every puppy goes home up-to-date on vaccinations and with a health certificate and record.

Coordinate Pickup!
Puppies can go to their new homes anytime after they are 8 weeks old. The balance is due when puppy goes home. Each puppy goes home with a one year health guarantee, health certificate, health records, dog license application, a small baggie of puppy food, samples and a brochure for recommended vitamins, and a blanket with Mother’s scent to help with the transition.
How to Prepare
Preparing Your Home
Bringing a new puppy home is very exciting, but it is important to prepare your home for your new fur baby, so this can be a good experience for everyone!
Puppies go through a teething stage, so they will want to chew. Have chewy toys ready for your fur baby and do a house check on what should be kept out of the puppy's reach. You can also prepare an area that is puppy safe/friendly.
First 24 Hours
What can you expect in the first 24 hours?
Your puppy will be partially housebroken when he/she goes home, but a new environment can affect that. Patience and consistency are key to fully housebreaking your new puppy.
Our puppies are family-friendly, but he/she may feel shy or afraid at first and may not want to eat as usual.
Sometimes offering your puppy some instant cooked rice or baby food can help settle a nervous stomach.
He/she may also miss Mama and siblings, but with lots of puppy love, he/she will adjust quickly.
Setting Boundaries
Start training your puppy from day one, whether it's crate training, leash training, or whatever your goals are for your puppy. Remember, this is a long term commitment and a well trained dog is a pleasure to be around! Your puppy will also be happier and feel more secure if he/she knows what to expect from you and what it is and is not allowed to do.
Puppy Food and Supplements
We send a small baggie of Diamond Puppy Food along with your puppy to use for transitioning to any good quality food of your choice.
We have found NuVet Supplements to be helpful in meeting your puppy's nutritional needs. We will send samples and information along with your puppy, so you can continue to support his/her optimal health as he/she grows.
