A nationwide network of certified breeders
Direct connections with breeders
Safe payments, backed by our guarantee
Kerrie 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.

“Guarantee, AKC registration, weeks worth of raw food or small bag of kibble ( we are exclusively raw fed here). All puppies are same price within the breed.”
Kerrie 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 Kerrie 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 Kerrie directly.
Puppies go to Lowe's as a group, car rides, drive throughs, they go for walks on our property as individuals. They have exposure to livestock. They ride in our Polaris. Sometimes they learn to swim before leaving here, depends on weather. They meet strangers at our house and on their outings. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Early stages of crate training, Car Rides, Outdoors (when Weather permits), Avidog, Toys, e.g. Ball, Outdoors, e.g. rain, Various Surfaces , car riding , Strangers, Stores, Structures, e.g. Climbing, Grooming Desensitization, Household Desensitization, Early Neurological Stimulation, Sound Stimulation, Socialized with Elderly, Socialized with Other Animals, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Clicker Training, Crate Training, Leash Walking, and Potty Training.
Puppies will go to holistic vet, if being vaccinated we adhere to Jean Dodds protocol and we use Nomographs to determine when maternal immunity will wear off.
We send our puppies home with Puppy Collar, Puppy Leash, Toys, Food Starter Bag, and AKC Registration.
Kerrie 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.
Work with a trusted transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at a meeting point close to home.
