Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Boxed-N-Ranch located in Linn Creek, MO. Our dogs are bred to better the breed to include health, temperament, and intelligence. I do not down breed my dogs. I make sure breeding pairs are compatible and without health issues. I do everything I can to ensure the right puppy goes to the right individual or family.

Nicole’s experience

  • About Nicole

    We breed only AKC dogs who are genetically healthy through DNA health testing; dogs that are happy, and intelligent. They are our family.

  • What makes Nicole’s program special

    I do not have many litters in a year, I don't breed just any dog unless and until I feel it is the right time, they meet or beat my expectations and after testing.

Nicole 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.

Price

Puppy prices range from $3,500 - $5,000 and include a non-refundable deposit of $1,000.

“Pricing is dependent on breed. My pups are all AKC with champion lineage. Pricing is for limited AKC registration. Full AKC will be higher pricing, but can be discussed and arranged. I do not refund the deposit if someone just decides they no longer want the pup they have chosen. I will refund if something happens to the pup while in my care and on my premises.”

Nicole 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.

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

We are with the mother's while birthing. We hold the pups daily, and as they grow, my kids, grandchildren, and my other dogs are allowed to be around them. I will also take them on car rides just so they get used to being in the car; however, they do not get out of the car due to Parvo or any other puppy illness they could pick up being away from home. I also start working on mannerisms and potty training. I leash train if a new family asks me to. I do out of my way to make sure that pups are socialized, desensitized to noise, etc. I can crate train but this is an extra $200 expense to the buyer. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Confidence building, eye contact, and general initial potty training., Noise desensitization, Behavioral shaping , Car Training , Human Interactions , Basic manners, Name recognition , Potty training, crate training, Crate Training, Grooming Desensitization, Potty Training, Leash Walking, "No" Biting or Chewing, Socialized with Children, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Socialized with Other Animals, Sound Stimulation, Toys, e.g. Ball, and Touch Desensitization.

Puppy health practices

My pups are on a strict deworming program that starts at 2 weeks old. They receive a Neopar vaccination at 4 weeks, 5-way at 6 weeks and another 5-way vaccination at 8 weeks. This helps the immunity of my pups prior to leaving.
