We'd Just like to start off by saying that this is our home and not a pet store or a store front, so please be respectful and understanding of this. The health and safety of our dogs, puppies, and our home is always our number one priority, so we take every precaution to protect them. Many people question if they can come see, play with the puppies, or just visit us. After much trial and error the answer to this question is NO!! As much as I desire to accommodate visitors for a slew of reasons including LIABILITY we have to strictly limit access to who comes on our property and visits our dogs and puppies. There are several explanations as to why we don't let anyone around the puppies between birth and 8 weeks. All of which are to protect our dogs, facility, and YOUR NEW PUPPY. Below you will find not only details as to why the answer is no, but also information as to what you can do in the meantime to prepare for your new puppy's home coming.

We get many calls and email inquiries a day and we simply can't accommodate the high volume of request. Some of these inquiries are from our potential new puppy parents, but a lot of others are from people claiming they just want to "look" or "visit" and play with the dogs and puppies. Litters of purebred puppies are a high target for theft, dog flipping, and animal right extremists. If we were to allow everyone to see, touch, spend time with, or "just Peek" at the new babies, we would greatly risk their SAFTY and increase the opportunity for the puppies and our dogs to pick up an infectious disease with each new contact. If your reason for wanting to do this is because you are still in the research phase and undecided about the breed, we will be happy to help you learn all about the breed via email and phone. We are also more then happy to provide pictures and videos at any point.

Many people don't realize there are countless things to consider as a breeder of home raised puppies. Visitors can ( of course unknowingly) bring diseases onto the property on their feet, hands, clothing, etc. The dangers of exposing young puppies to communicable diseases is very serious and can be detrimental to our breeding program and the welfare of our dogs. Diseases such as parvo can live fore years in the soil, pet stores, carpet, dog parks, training facilities, kennels, vet offices, rest stops, sidewalks (anywhere dogs go) and unknowingly be tracked in. Young and newborn puppies don't have fully developed immune systems and are susceptible to these life threatening illnesses. When a disease like parvo strikes it can kill a whole litter within a matter of hours and can stay in the carpet and soil for YEARS which would be devastating to our breeding program and property. The puppies will have maternal antibodies built up as they grow and get stronger, but are never totally immune. Therefore, precautions must be taken to ensure their good health. They are not old enough to vaccinate as it can interfere with these maternal antibodies building and their own immune systems coming on board. Vaccinating can hurt more then it helps when administering too young. Until you take your puppy home we are responsible and the puppy's health and safety is our priority.

We would also like to point out that it is extremely stressful for mothers to have strangers coming and going as they are caring for their new litters or preparing for delivery. This can put stress on them causing them to become very protective of their new puppies, impending litters, and nests during this sensitive time. This would not be a good time to assess the mother's temperament. Her routine would be disrupted, her eating, caring for the pups, and even her milk production could be at risk. Not to mention the fact that mother dogs may not accept a puppy back after being handled by a stranger. We are definitely not trying to offend you by using the term stranger but in fact to our dogs that is what you are.

We take great care and much time caring for all of our dogs and their puppies it is time and energy consuming. This is what we do best, so please ley us do it. We are happy that you are enthusiastic about getting your new puppy and when the time comes to bring it home we are happy to meet you in a mutual safe meeting place.

In the meantime, hopefully you can keep busy until your puppy is ready to go home! Here are some things that you can do.
