Denise 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 Denise 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 Denise directly.
Our puppies are well-adjusted to a home environment and well socialized with children. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Puppy Manners and Socialized with Children.
Our puppies visit a veterinarian at 6 weeks old. The vet administers vaccines and follows a deworming protocol.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Crater Lake Cockers hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
Denise offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
