Alexandra’s experience

  • About Alexandra

    I have owned and ran my training business (Tailored Dog Training) for 15 years. I have always done sports and extensive training with my dogs. After having children, I sought a dog breed that not only was smart, but would be a good family pet. My Border Collies were aging and I knew that breed would not be the best fit going forward. The PWDs fit the bill, and the rest is history!

  • What makes Alexandra’s program special

    Since I am a trainer and a groomer, I love raising puppies with an eye on socialization, early potty training, crate training, and desensitization to grooming. I have two children (aged 10 and 12 years old), as well as the other trainers that work for me, that are all a part of this program to create stable, healthy puppies that are game on for anything but also have an "off" switch.

Getting a puppy from Alexandra

Alexandra 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.

Price

Puppy prices range from $3,500 and include a refundable deposit of $500.

“This pricing is standard for the breed, and puppies will leave with their first vaccine, microchip, and having been dewormed. Puppies are AKC registered and come with a puppy pack. I do not take deposits until puppies are born and a few weeks old.”

Contract and health guarantee

Alexandra 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 Alexandra 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 Alexandra directly.

More about Alexandra

  • Why Alexandra started breeding

    Our first PWD litter was in 2021. My mother bred Poodles growing up and now specializes in Schnauzers. I have the joy of not only having an exceptional male but also an amazing female, as well as wonderful breeder mentors. All of my dogs have terrific temperaments, are titled, and have passed all health tests with flying colors. The puppies that have gone onto their homes are excellent companions.
