Erin has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Puppy prices range from $1,500 and include a non-refundable deposit of $500.
“Puppy will have first vaccinations, microchip, and all paperwork for registration when it reaches one year of age. Deposit goes toward purchase price and is non refundable. It is accepted and holds your place on the list once puppies reach 10 days old and are thriving.”
Erin may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Erin offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Erin directly.
Puppies are raised in the middle of my home so they are used to normal home sounds such as vacuums, heaters/air conditioners, slamming doors, and other normal happenings they would be exposed to in a home. Trips to the vet have them experiencing car rides and other people, sights, and sounds. Select visitors come to play with puppies and interact with them to help socialize. These visitors take safety precautions to prevent puppies being exposed to diseases prior to vaccination. If the weather and temperature allow, puppies begin to have time outdoors on grass and in the sunshine and wind on my own fenced property when their age allows.
Puppies have dew claws and tails done by a vet within 3 days of birth so it is a simple procedure rather than an amputation. They are wormed every two weeks starting at two weeks old and receive their first set of puppy vaccines prior to going home. Puppies do not go home before 8 weeks of age and if they need to be shipped, they do not leave until 12 weeks old and a second round of vaccinations.
We send our puppies home with Breed Club Registration, Microchip, and Vaccinations.
Why Erin started breeding
My first JRT was obtained by JRTCA members who encouraged me to join the club. She was smart and athletic and did well at trials and anything I asked of her. I wanted to reproduce her wonderful personality while improving her conformation.
