What makes a great fit for our program?


This page outlines what we look for in shared values.

🤎 From us to you…

✔️ Thoughtful, intentional puppy raising

Every puppy is raised in our home with daily socialization, curriculum, gentle handling, and environments that build confidence, stability, and emotional strength.

✔️ Transparency in health and care

You will receive full veterinary documentation, vaccination history, deworming schedule, microchip information, and any relevant notes before your puppy goes home.

✔️ Honest communication

You’ll always receive clear, respectful, and timely communication. We will never rush you, pressure you, or hide information.

✔️ Lifetime support

We are here long after go-home day.  Questions, concerns—we walk alongside our families.


🤎 From you to us…

✔️ Respectful, kind communication

We are a home-based program—not a commercial facility.  We ask that communication remains:

●courteous
●patient
●mutually respectful
●understanding of our busy hands-on schedule
●enthusiastic

✔️ Realistic expectations — Puppies:

●cry
●chew
●potty in the wrong place
●need patience
●need time to adjust
●may have mild worms
●may have loose stool from stress or transition

These things are normal and not indicators of poor breeding in any program.  We ask our families to embrace the real process of puppyhood with grace and understanding.

✔️ Partnership with your veterinarian

While we provide full records, families are responsible for:

●ongoing deworming as recommended by their vet
●continued vaccinations
●routine wellness checks
●timely spay/neuter per contract
●safe, conservative care for MDR1-risk puppies

We desire families to communicate openly with their veterinarian and follow professional medical guidance.

✔️ Flexibility and patience

Our puppies, our parent dogs, and our family live on a real farmstead with real schedules, weather, and life happenings.  We ask families to remain flexible with:

●pickup times within reason
●updated photos as we are able
●our curriculum schedule
●our commitments to the animals before technology

🤎 Our Placement Boundaries

✔️ We Reserve the Right to Decline Placement

If at any point we feel a placement is not in the best interest of the puppy or the family, we may decline or discontinue the adoption process. Any retainer paid will be promptly refunded. This is never personal—it is part of our responsibility as a heart-centered breeder.

🤎 Our Families Are Partners, Not Customers

●We do not put money before relationships.
●We do not sell puppies to anyone who treats animals—or us—poorly.
●We are intentional.
●We are selective.
●We protect our puppies and our peace.
●And we deeply appreciate our families and value relationships!

🤎 If this resonates with your heart, we are likely a wonderful match and we welcome you with open arms.
