" A
puppy is one of the most appealing
creatures on earth. He's the embodiment of
exuberance, humor, and affection.
But there are a great many things that a puppy is
not, and these negative
aspects deserves some thought before you bring a
puppy home".
A puppy is not a toy to be enjoyed while
he is a novelty, then set aside in favor of a new
distraction; A puppy is
not a teaching aide guaranteed to instill a sense of
responsibility in
children; A puppy is not cheap. Whether you pay a
nominal fee at the city
humane shelter or what seems to be a king's ransom
for a really special pup,
the money paid to make the pet yours is a mere drop
in the bucket compared
to what it will cost you to keep him; A puppy is not
a spur-of-the moment
purchase, or at least he shouldn't be; A puppy is
not a gift unless the
purchaser is certain that this particular pup will
be wanted; A puppy is not
self-cleaning. There will be puddles on rugs,
vomiting occasionally, dog
hair on clothing and furniture. There may be worms
to be dealt with. If
these prospects are intolerable to the housekeeper
of the family, then
perhaps the pleasures of owning a puppy will be
overshadowed by the tensions
it will cause. A puppy is not an adult dog. He has
neither the physical nor
the mental ability to perform as an adult dog would;
A puppy is not a puppy
for long. Before you succumb to the charms of a
clumsy ST. Bernard pup, or a
sad-happy hound, or a limpid-eyed cocker, be very
sure you want not only the
puppy he is now, but also the gangly, unattractive
adolescent he is about to
become, and the adult dog who may fall short of what
you hoped he would be."
"If you've faced all the negative aspects of puppy
ownership and still want him, chances are good that
you and your new dog
will be one of the lucky ones who finds a permanent
happy home. And you will enjoy the rewards of
planned-parenthood dog ownership - rewards which
will far over shadow the drawbacks."

We only sell
our dogs/puppies to approved loving caring homes
where they will remain for life.
All companion dogs are sold on
strict spay/neuter non breeding agreements/contracts
for $950. and will be required to be
spayed/neutered at the appropriate time. Proof of
such will be required.
I am very careful of where my
intact dogs go so dogs that are sold to show
homes (price will vary depending on age of dog) will
only be done so upon reference checks, home check
unless I have really good reference checks and on
co-ownerships only.
We reserve the right to refuse sale to anyone we
deem an unacceptable home for one of our puppies.
Completely fenced secure yard a must
for all dogs, no exceptions
Puppies
Nothing available at the moment but I
do have 2 litters planned for later in the spring.
Contact me for availability.
