Getting a puppy from Lara

Lara 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 $1,500 - $3,500 and include a non-refundable deposit of $500.

“Our puppies come vet checked, age appropriate shots, multiple wormings with fecal results and a health guarantee. Our puppies are looking for pet homes, all prices listed are pet home price. We do occasionally offer full rights to approved homes for an additional cost. The deposit is applied to the purchase price of your puppy. They are non-refundable, but depending on the circumstances may be transferred to another puppy.”

Lara 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.
