My puppies are socialized and trained with care to give them the best start possible. I utilize the following enrichment methods: House Training, Socialized with People, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Household Desensitization, Various Surfaces, and Sound Stimulation.
I make sure each puppy is healthy prior to leaving my care, and I follow all of my vet’s recommendations on puppy health.
We send our puppies home with One Month Free Health Insurance, Blanket with Littermates' and Mom's scents, Vaccinations, Food Starter Bag, and Breed Club Registration.
Samantha 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.
“I prefer to have families and individuals pick up locally. It's important to me that I'm able to form connections with my puppies' parents.”
Work with a trusted transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at a meeting point close to home.
