We are here to help you with any problem you have with your new family member. We are responsible for all the dogs we produce till the day they are no longer here.
About Tom & Sandie
As breeders, we feel a sense of responsibility to prioritize the overall health and temperament of each of our puppies and to ensure that they are loved and well cared for prior to joining their forever homes.
What makes Tom & Sandie’s program special
We know where every dog is we have ever bred. We do a rescue fund drive of our puppy people each year and this year we collected over 10 thousand dollars for dogs less fortunate than ours.
Tom & Sandie is a member of 4 clubs
Morris & Essex Kennel Club, Chambersburg Area Kennel Club, Harrisburg Kennel Club, National Shiba Club of America
Our puppies are socialized and well-rounded before they leave our home. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Puppy Culture , Outdoors, e.g. rain, Various Surfaces , Noises , Socialized with Elderly, Touch Desensitization, Early Neurological Stimulation, Household Desensitization, Sound Stimulation, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Socialized with Children, Puppy Manners, Crate Training, and Potty Training.
All puppies have seen the vet for their health certificate. They are dewormed, have their 1st round of puppy shots, and are pretty much housebroken.
We send our puppies home with Microchipped , Puppy Collar, Vaccinations, Food Starter Bag, Certificate of Health, and AKC Registration.
Tom & Sandie 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.
“They have to come to my home and pick up their new family member.”
