We utilize Puppy Culture methods. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Puppy Culture.
All of our puppies are dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped, and receive a vet check.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Pamela Mutchek's Ibizan Hounds 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.
Pamela 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.
