How to tell the Good

from the  Bad

and the  Ugly...

My puppies are

individual kennel trained...
this avoids puppy separation anxiety. 
Wouldn't you be fearful the first time

you were separated from everything you know.

I do NOT take the puppy directly from its mother

and give the puppy directly to you.  
I gradually lengthen the separation time from the mother...

then from the litter mates.
 The puppy does not get upset.
 They will keep eating and not cry ALL through the night.
 

The process of individual kenneling training

lets me know exactly when the puppy is weaned and ready to go home with you. Their stools are firm and the puppy is not fussing in the kennel. 

I socialize the puppies to play with their toys,
 not chew on my shoe laces and to keep out
of the NO DOG ZONES like behind the couch.

They have been exposed to many sights, sounds
 (they listen to talk podcasts)

I enjoy playing with the puppies and have taken the time to
educate and teach both you and the puppy.

The socialization process is started at birth.
At 6 weeks of age, the puppies are brought
 into my home and go back to their
 mother to nurse several times a day. 

Once they are weaned they are raised in
my home.  They can go outside when the
weather is nice.

I can teach the grate method of kenneling...
not just the crate (traditional kenneling). 

With the grate method

• you do NOT need to get up in the middle of the night
  
• run home to take the puppy out to do its business. 
  

They learn to go BOTH outside

                                                     and use  the back up plan.

it doesn't matter if it's
COLD, RAINING or you are just SHORT ON TIME. 

Many methods work

but mine is cleaner,
healthier and much easier.  
You decide which methods works best for you. 

I use a larger kennel with a grate-

no puppy pads...

no repeat bathing...
no sitting in water because they have tipped over the water dish etc. 

This method is great for people who can't run to the door every time the puppy needs to go out.  My customers who live in condos/apartments love that they do not need to run down the hall/stairs/elevator every time the dog needs to relieve itself. 

It's wonderful for who ever may be dog sitting.

They're being taught to come to a whistle. 

They know the word  NO. 

I will show you the calm down technique

plus more.
Watch the training videos!

The  tax is included in the price-
NO surprises with extra costs.

No limited registration and no extra costs

if you care to show or breed your puppy.

If born with dew claws they are removed
they're only good for snagging clothing

hunting dogs need their dew claws to hold their prey.

Everyone who buys a puppy from me

gets a copy of professional pointers by email...
126 pages eBook. 

Doggone sound advise about training

and caring for the family pooch. 

The eBook is packed full of indispensable tips to help

avoid and  resolve  common behavioral problems.  It is designed to building a mutually rewarding relationship between canine and owner.

I am available for questions
even after the puppy is sold

I show you how toidentify and avoid

worms, fleas and other problems.

The puppies are raised by me,
trained by me

and sold by me. 
NOT an employee or friend of the family

who really knows nothing about

raising, training and teaching you

how to have a well-behaved puppy.

I own both PARENTs

To avoid health issues and to keep our insurance costs low

we are no longer showing the parents

however, we can email photos;)

Once a deposit is placed on a puppy and it is born,

I email weekly updates and post videos on the website

Please don't expect other breeders to provide you

with all the additional information and extra effort of

removing  dew claws

training

teaching you the basics & so much more...

their bottom line is to provide you with a puppy and make a profit.

If the place you are considering to buy a puppy from is unclean or the puppies/adults are not groomed or cared for...

this should be a  clear sign...
this is not where you want to purchase your puppy from

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM

DO NOT REWARD THE BEHAVIOR

OR YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM WHY THEY CONTINUE

If the seller ONLY will meet you in a parking lot ...this should be a clear warning sign...a bright red flag. 

Or they tell you they're selling the puppies for a relative/friend.

If they don't have the records of shots or

other vet history available for you to take. 

If they do not have the registration paperwork
ready for you when you take the puppy.

If they do not have the registration NUMBER of the parents. 

This NUMBER proves they are purebred.

If the puppy is sprayed with perfume

to cover bad smells - think again why perfume was used instead of giving the puppy  a bath.

If the dog was used for breeding purposes
they usually will want to mark your furniture, carpet, etc -

it can be corrected but you will need to know how to break the habit.

I take the time to educate you and give my training methods in written format, by email, a 126 page care guide written by me. 
I do not just take the money and say... see ya!!! 
I encourage you to email if a problem arises...a habit it much harder to break than getting it right the first time;)

I want you and the puppy to have an enjoyable life together.

I know exactly who the father is...

no sneaky neighbor's dog allowed.

This is just one of the reasons we have a gated property, motion detectors, cameras etc.

To insure that parasites do not come from me...

my puppies are dewormed once every 2 weeks

(cycle of adult and egg laying is 3 weeks) if necessary
NO fleas, ticks or mites will be dipped if necessary.

The mother is fed a high-grade diet so not deficient and  produces healthy pups which means she can nurse the pups with the highest nutrition possible. 

It is one of the many reasons are health risks are less than 1%
 
The mother is only allowed to be bred if she is totally back in shape and  if she can produce healthy, happy puppies. 

This is not rocket science but simple common sense!

We are inspected by the MN board of Animal Health (MNBAH)

We are inspected by our vet

We have VERY HIGH STANDARDS for ourselves

              We are involved in continuing education to be the BEST breeder

MNBAH has 26 standards

that ALL commercial dog breeders in the state are REQUIRED to PASS

We do MORE

than what is required

by the state for our dogs

If ANY MINNESOTA dog breeder does NOT pass the inspection

they can NO LONGER  legally sell their puppies to you

till they bring their kennel up to the 26 required standards

NO NEED TO LISTEN TO THE PROPAGANDA

THE ANIMAL ACTIVISTS

WANT YOU TO BELIEVE...it is just lies

REMEMBER FEAR is just false evidence appearing real

why NOT to purchase from us

If you are not positive

that you are ready for a dog…
DO NOT PURCHASE ONE!

Puppies are not pieces of furniture to match your decor.

If you are not planning on fixing your puppy by 8 months of age inform us asap
Any fault that will not heal over time or
cannot be fixed during neutering or spaying
will be disclosed before pickup

if not fixing and your puppy has a fault
we will ONLY pay for the cost to repair the fault -minus the cost of fixing

cost needs to be comparable to cost of vet service in our area.
Examples:  hernia, undescended testicle

If unable or unwilling to communicate by EMAIL

not answering the phone every time it rings

• allows us to finish tasks
  
• keeps our prices lower
  
• you can reread the answers as many times as you need
  

I do NOT loan, lease or take back a puppy

because you didn’t think about it...
unless there is a health problem with the puppy (see the health guarantee)

If you have difficulty saying NO

then  a poor dog trainer you will be...

it is important to set boundaries. 

To teach what is fine to do and what is not allowed. 

This keeps your pooch safe, healthy and happy.

Once a puppy leaves my care

I can not guarantee that its health has not been jeopardized or

that no injury has occurred…

this is how I can insure that I do not sell puppies that have been

dropped,

kicked or
exposed to diseases, parasites or other dangers and problems. 

Any breeder who takes back a puppy without

vet checking

quarantining  it for a least 10 - 120 days is asking for problems. 

• I will not sell you somebody else's problem. 
  
• My promise is to do everything I can to sell you a healthy, happy puppy.
  

If you find that you made a poor decision or another problem has occurred…

then take responsibility and resell the puppy to a loving home.

Do not expect me to jeopardize all my hard work

to poor judgment or other problem.

You can email me for advise on how to resell the puppy.

• check with friends
  
• neighbors
  
• family
  
• put ad in newspaper
  
• Craiglist
  
• Facebook
  
• post 3x5 card board at grocery stores - churches, vets, dog rescues
  

I do not talk anyone into buying a puppy but

I have talked individuals out of buying one.

If you wish to bring  someone with you to help you decide...
PLEASE...have them read my website before coming out.
 
They will have the same information as you. 

We won't be wasting time telling them what you already know

from reading this website. 

I want to focus on showing you how to raise & train the puppy

not covering the information shared  here on this website;) 
 
Thank-you in advance;)

What we do differently from other dog breeders

      Why buy from us

Handicapped access

due to the access barrier of no ramp
or
wide doorway to the restroom

we cannot provide a visits for wheelchairs

or others that cannot use stairs.

However someone could schedule an appointment

that can use stairs
take photos, videos for the handicapped person to view later.

facetime would be another option

by offering another method of service we are in compliance
