Frequently Asked Questions

When will my puppy be ready to go home?

Pomeranian puppies are typically ready at 10 weeks of age and Dachshund puppies go home at 8 weeks of age.

What is included with my puppy?

Every puppy receives age-appropriate shots and deworming prior to going to their new home. The puppy care package includes starter food, toys, a chewy, a blanket that smells like momma/littermates, and 30 days of FREE Trupanion pet insurance.

How does the contract/deposit work?

A signed contract and a $300 non-refundable deposit holds your puppy. Deposits can be submitted in the form of a check or digital payment (types include PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle). The remaining balance is due in cash at puppy pickup. We also accept credit cards. Deposits are valid for two years if you need to wait for a specific color or time of the year.

Can I have my puppy AKC registered?

Yes. Our puppies are sold on a spay or neuter agreement. After we receive proof of spay or neuter, an application for AKC registration is available for $50 plus the AKC processing fee of $65 to $85. The most important thing is that your puppy's parents are AKC registered, so customers rarely choose to register their puppy. Breeding rights are rarely offered and there is an upcharge to the puppy's price.

What exposure to training will my puppy have?

POTTY TRAINING -- By puppy pickup day, puppies are well on their way to being potty trained. CRATE TRAINING -- Puppies begin napping in their crates between 6 and 8 weeks of age. That way they are familiar with a crate when you take them home. While there will be some whining and crying the first couple nights, it will be less than if the crate was new to them. CAR RIDES -- Puppies are taken on oodles of car rides to help get them used to motion, so they are less likely to get car sick.

What vaccinations do your puppies have?

Each puppy receives age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming before going home. We provide a vaccination record so your veterinarian can continue the series at the appropriate intervals.

How does the inquiry process work?

Start by filling out the Inquiry form. We will reach out to learn about your family and discuss which puppies would be a good fit for you. Once you make a decision, a deposit and signed contract hold your puppy. When your puppy is ready to go home, we coordinate your puppy pickup day or flight nanny delivery. In some cases, we might be willing to drive an hour to meet you.
