Debra 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 $1,800 - $3,000 and include a refundable deposit of $100.
“If I have a puppy that someone wants that I believe will be available, I will take a $100 deposit at 5 weeks to hold that puppy. In this current litter I may not take any deposits until health checks, eye exams, and show potential evaluations are done at 9-10 weeks of age.”
Debra 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. If Debra offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Debra directly.
I handle each puppy multiple times every day. In the first three weeks of their life I do the five brief exercises with each puppy described by Dr. Carmen Battaglia for early neurological stimulation to improve each pups response to future stresses. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Puppies are paper trained in the beginning and later encouraged to "Go" outside. Puppies are introduced to being in a crate and will get at least two car rides before they leave, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Socialized with other dogs, Daily handling, Socialized with children, Surface & tactile stimulation, Car rides, and Various sounds.
Puppies receive appropriate worming on a schedule of 3, 5 and 7 weeks. Puppies get a DAPP vaccination at 7.5 - 8 weeks of age. Puppies are examined by a vet at about 6 weeks of age for general health. Puppies get an eye exam by a vet ophthalmologist at about 8 weeks of age.
We send our puppies home with Initial potty training, Puppy starter kit, Toys, Food & treats, Vet records, Microchip, and Registration.
Debra 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.
Work with a trusted to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at a meeting point close to home.
