Parris Hill Standards spend much time with other dogs, and are exceptionally well socialized. The puppies are paper trained, they know how to go outdoors when nature calls, and they are well on their way to being fully house-trained by the time they leave. Most owners report that the pups are trained to their homes within just a couple of days. They are also accustomed to crates, and they have a solid foundation for further training. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Crate Training, Potty Training, Household Desensitization, and Toys, e.g. Ball.
All puppies are hand-raised and fed an all-natural, raw meat diet that is high in protein and very low in fiber and fat. I prefer working with owners who will make a commitment to an all-natural canine diet, and who will take the time to learn about the benefits of raw food. They also receive shots from the vet and deworming, regular vet check-ins, and a breeder deworming and fecal test.
We send our puppies home with Puppy Leash, Puppy Collar, Toy with Littermates' Scent, Food Starter Bag, AKC Registration, and Microchip.
Marion 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.
“We ask that families come to us in Asbury and that they bring a cooler with which to bring back the raw food I'll be sending home with you and your new puppy.”
