Tricia 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 $1,800 - $2,000 and include a refundable deposit of $100.
“I don’t always know if I have a puppy until one is available. I would take a deposit to hold a puppy if I’m sure I have one.”
Tricia 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 Tricia 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 Tricia directly.
Puppies are handled a lot. They are given a variety of toys and experiences. They are placed on multiple surfaces. I take puppies outside to potty from about 5 weeks old. They pretty much have the idea by the time they leave. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Human Interactions, Early Socialization, Interaction with Visitors, Strangers, Toys, e.g. Ball, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Socialized with Children, Nail Trimming, Initial House Training, "No" Biting or Chewing, and Potty Training.
All puppies are vaccinated and guaranteed healthy at the time of rehoming.
We send our puppies home with Vaccinations, Toy with Mom's Scent, Puppy Starter Kit, Food Starter Bag, Breed Club Registration, and AKC Registration.
Why Tricia started breeding
I love putting the perfect puppy with the perfect family. It is so wonderful to see the joy this brings people. The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is the most rewarding experience ever!
