Puppy health practices
We follow all appropriate puppy health protocols to ensure happy, healthy puppies.
Extras
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Mandolin Kennels. 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.
