What kind of temperament and traits can I expect?

Decades of selective breeding and keeping back adult dogs with the best genetics are what we take pride in the most. We always say “the proof is in the puppies!” All of our puppies are intentionally bred to possess these important traits:

– Sound health, gentle temperaments, heightened Intelligence, loyalty, and are highly trainable
– Great for families and kids
– Often used as therapy or service dogs
– Hypoallergenic and low to no‑shedding

Our dogs are known for having calm temperaments and being easy to house-train since they learn how to use a doggy door here and potty outside. All puppies are also shown basic grooming manners while they are here and receive exposure to children since they play with our 4 year old son.

What’s the typical pick‑up age for puppies?

Puppies are ready for their new homes at 9 weeks old. If you are not able to pick up at the designated departure date then we charge $50 per week for board to cover all care, cleaning, grooming, and extra vaccination/dewormings done while they are in our extended care.
