WHY DONT WE ALLOW VISITS?
​
Why don’t we allow visits? We know you want to know so here’s an explanation. Below are the reasons we don’t allow visits. Our puppies are home-raised in our house. Which means you aren’t able to come visit us, without also visiting our puppies and their Mom(s).
Why?
For the Safety of the Puppies:
-
Puppy’s immune systems are very immature. Visitors have been known to have brought diseases (parvovirus, distemper, etc) with them when coming to visit their pup, the result of which could be the death of the entire litter. It is well known that breeders have lost entire litters to parvovirus brought in by visitors.
-
It stresses out the mom which in turn stresses out the puppies. With a new litter mother is emotionally charged and in hyper-protective mode. When stressed, Mom’s body creates cortisol, which goes into the milk. The puppies consume this cortisol-rich milk and become stressed themselves.
-
Panicked Moms can hurt puppies. If a stranger comes to visit a mother dog’s state of mind changes rapidly. She feels threatened and moves quickly to assess the threat. Many Moms have unintentionally stepped on or crushed a puppy in their urgency to get out of the whelping box to assess the threat.
-
We don’t ‘own’ the puppies. We have been entrusted with the care of these puppies for the first critical weeks of their lives. As guardians of “other peoples” puppies, We do everything possible that we can to protect them. If one of these puppies was yours, We’re certain you expect us to do that for your puppy.
Safety of my Dogs and Family:
-
Potential buyers that contact us are strangers. We know nothing about you except the basic info we get from the questionnaire (which may or may not be true) about yourself and your family. Inviting you, a stranger, into our home creates a potential threat to the safety of our dogs and family.
-
In short we will not compromise the health and safety of our puppies, dogs, or family so someone can snuggle with puppies. Only serious and committed buyers are worthy of that compromise. So, how can we help you have confidence we aren’t a puppy mill or a fake website asking for your $500 deposit? We are very happy to provide references of families who have our bought our puppies. You can as well as see our reviews/testimonials. We thank you for your understanding that we will not compromise on the health and safety of our puppies and hope you see this as a positive quality of a reputable breeder.

We’re quite active on social media and will provide weekly/daily pictures and videos as the puppies grow, For those who have placed a deposit, you will be able to pick out your puppy at the time of pickup. Your placement in the picking order is determined by when you made your deposit.
