Know where your puppy came from. Visitors are welcome at Healthy Pups.

Puppy gifting? Reserve your puppy now. If you like a puppy that won't quite be old enough to go home at Christmas, then we can gladly make a photo of your puppy to give your loved one with the expectation that the puppy can come home shortly.

Come see us for the most experienced direct from breeder to family puppy experience. Let us share our more than 40 years experience and care standard to help protect your puplife. Our care standard is about prevention though better diet and not choosing bad pet products that can cause the premature onset of diseases. These diseases are almost always misdiagnosed by vets as genetic issues. It is sad that brokers are about scamming you with a 10 year warranty that covers very little and leaving you with monthly pet insurance payments for the next 10 years. Their 10 year warranty is from the pet insurance company; not from them. Yes, you can get puppy insurance on our puppies if you wish.  We can share the actual history and genetics of your puppy because we are the breeder, not a club or pet store broker group selling a puppy that they did not raise.

Are we the only seller in top google search results that still raises the puppies that we sell? A high percentage of the independent puppies for sale ads online are fake sellers soliciting deposits for puppies that do not exist. Most of the real puppies online are being resold by brokers trying to make easy money. The puppy clubs and pet stores attract their buyers with add ons to make you think you're getting more. Some are so big that they can maintain a fancy clubhouse and have their own vet on staff. They smother you with professionalism and make you feel privileged just to be considered for one of their puppies. They comfort you by building a store that looks like your vets office. However, you should read and learn that their health warranty excludes almost every health issue and not making the insurance payments or buying their expensive doggie treats for the next 10 years voids your warranty. They brag about how good their elite professional breeders are. They tell you that they inspect their breeders and that they are government-inspected. Yes, they inspect their breeders when they go there to pick up a van load of puppies to resale in their store front. Inspections of these breeders rarely happen because there's no one to complain when the breeders do not sell directly to the public. Unfortunately, having a nice place to keep puppies is not a requirement for getting a government license to raise puppies. The only way to be sure a puppy didn't come from a backyard puppy mill is to buy your puppy directly from the breeder and see for yourself. If you saw the living conditions at some of the puppy farms that the brokers get their puppies from, you probably would not support them!

Every family CAN afford a puppy, and SAVE MONEY in buying a good, properly bred, and professionally cared for puppy.

Bored families go out and waste lots of money. Playing with a puppy at home contributes to better mental and physical human health, teaches responsibility and love, and is a gift that continues to give, while superficial entertainment is one and done.  A good puppy is the cheapest way to entertain a family and save lots of money. We gladly provide ownership education which can lower long-term ownership costs, initial vet bills, and increase the life expectancy of your next best friend.  Many buyers look for the cheapest and most convenient to buy puppy. Meanwhile, we average five calls per day from those who have sent deposits to a fake seller pretending to have the cheapest and cutest puppy, AND we regularly talk to folks who bought the cheapest puppy located nearest them and had unexpected vet bills. We are professional grade, AND we gladly offer advice to help you decide what breed you might like best!

I have had the unique learning opportunity of working with the same group of dogs since 1982. This is something that not even our most experienced vets have been able to do. I have learned from the experiences of thousands of puppy buyers, and I am able to share these experiences, both good and bad, so your experience can be better. Buying from us means that I can help you to choose better pet products and avoid the ones that seem to have caused problems. I can also offer advice when a complex environmental issue may have been misdiagnosed as a genetic issue or rare disease by your vet. I can also help you to make good decisions in choosing a breed that is a good choice for you and not to become victims of what your small children think they want.

For example, almost every small child is in love with the idea of holding the puppy in their lap and carrying it around, so they are pre-programmed to want the tiniest and youngest puppy they can get. This situation is highly overrated and is the greatest cause of vet bills in our nation. The sad situation is that puppies grow to be a big as they will get in only a few weeks, assuming they don’t get a virus from going home before they are old enough to have had multiple vaccines already given and survive the handling stress of playing with your children. It is important that your puppy is old enough and strong enough to go home. Adult dogs that are too tiny very often do not live more than 5 years before they have liver and kidney failure. I have sold puppies to many families over the years that want their next dog to be larger than the last one so it will be healthier, live longer, and be able to interact more independently. This is why a small enough schnoodle is better than than many of the tiniest teacup breeds.

Most of the breeds we sell here are in the 5-25 lb size range. People who are attracted to indoor pets generally agree that the smallest one is the cutest. The childishness of people is easily the most difficult thing we deal with.  So many people only think of holding and carrying the tiniest puppy, but they never think of the dog jumping from their lap and killing itself when it hits the floor, being stolen by a bird when it goes outside to potty, being stepped on, having seizures, vaccine reactions, or finding it dead from sugar drop.  These things are considered normal in too tiny breeds and too young puppies.

Most also never consider the inconvenience of having a 3 lb handicapped dog that cannot interact independently.  If you choose a dog that is too tiny then accept that these things are much more likely to occur than in pets that are slightly larger!  A gallon of milk weighs almost 9 lbs.  If it were within my control, the word teacup would not be a part of dog language. A few of these teacup puppies will inherit genetics from ancestors and possibly grow more than 10 lbs.  Although the word teacup is an ambiguous description that means different things to different people, most people think a teacup dog is 10 lbs. and under. Remember that a gallon of milk weighs almost 9 lbs. when you read the weights of our puppies and their parents. This should give you some perspective when thinking of what size you want your next pet to be! Most children will love almost any puppy you take home to them. Make sure you help them choose a puppy that they will be able to love for a long time and doesn’t leave them with broken hearts and disappointments.

Also, another issue. We sell male puppies cheaper than females because more are born male, and we must overcome pre-programmed customer misconceptions. One of the most common complaints we have had through the years is from women who bought female puppies- she loves my Dad, husband, boyfriend, brother, more than me! NEWSFLASH, a male puppy neutered at the correct time is no more likely to raise the leg and mark than a female is to tinkle when she gets excited, because females are often less confident than males. Both males and females make great house pets if managed properly. You can buy a male cheaper. To neuter the male is cheaper than spaying the female. Both make exceptional indoor pets. However, if you are a female puppy shopper, you need to know that male puppies often love women more than female puppies!

Know that your new fur baby has been kept in our quarantine since birth because pups can get viruses, infections, and parasites from each other like our children at school!

It is normally perfectly safe for puppies to do life in a contaminated dirty outdoor environment after the vaccine schedule is completed, and after they're old enough to be given meds to prevent parasites. Experienced vets often tell people who have bought new puppies not to even put them on the ground until at least four vaccines are done, meaning the puppy should be 13 weeks old before it can most likely not get a virus from an accidental exposure. Puppies raised in the unsterilizable homes, backyards, barns, etc., of breeders who don't have a quarantine facility are more likely to get viruses and parasites because they are not in a bio secure environment. For many years now, I have felt that vaccinated puppies were less healthy than non-vaccinated puppies. I have recently learned that most puppy vaccine reaction issues can be prevented with specific antihistamines correctly given at time of vaccination, and that too many adult dogs are now getting the new virus after insufficient puppy shots were done at minimum age. Vaccines given properly and with preventative meds to prevent vaccine reactions are highly effective in preventing viruses. We vaccinate 3 lbs. and over puppies at 6, 8, 10, 13, 16, and 20 weeks of age while in our care. Our puppies are a great value because the veterinary care alone that we provide might cost you more than the selling price of our puppies. If you adopted a free puppy and then went to the vet six times for wellness exams, worming, and shots, how much would you spend? If you adopt a puppy that gets a virus and you care enough to take it to the emergency vet, treatment at a hospital that doesn't deal fairly can be very expensive. Our quarantine facility is very important so your puppy is not exposed to a virus before the vaccines provide protection. It is also good that the disinfectant protocol in our nursery also kills worms and protozoa, so your puppy is much more likely to be free of parasites than puppies raised elsewhere. 100% of the puppy buyers at the emergency vet today thought a virus would not happen to them. Humans and other pets who go from place to place and come home to contact puppies without sterilizing their hands and clothing, plus flying insects moving viruses from place to place can infect puppies. Some strains of parvovirus can have up to a two-week incubation period. This means that puppies can be exposed to parvovirus for up to two weeks prior to being vaccinated and still get sick. Because we are experienced, confident in our care standard, and raise the puppies in strict quarantine with vaccines given carefully to not cause vaccine reactions, we are able to provide a parvovirus puppy replacement warranty AND a no unexpected initial vet bills warranty for most puppies. These warranties are specific to those buyers who will follow recommendations and instructions. If you read the warranties of online puppy sellers, you may find that we have no competition in this area. Buying a puppy from us means that at least two Nobivac vaccines are already done before the puppy goes home with you! Our protocol means that 5 or 6 vaccines are given through the puppy shot schedule for puppies that remain in our care until those vaccines are due. It is sad that some adult dogs are dying later in life from the new virus probably because they were not given enough vaccines as puppies to produce a permanent immune response.

Not wanting to spend lots of money on a puppy is the very best reason to buy a Healthy Pup. No one wants unexpected vet bills or heartbroken children! To protect our puppies from viruses, and to reduce unexpected veterinary expenses for our puppy buyers, we will always raise the puppies in strict quarantine. Buyers may visit in person to see and interact with the puppies or view an individual puppy or a small group of puppies through video chat. If you can view the puppies through video chat and decide which puppy you want BEFORE you come, we can bathe your puppy, do its wellness exam, and fill out your paperwork so you don't have to wait when you come to pick up a puppy. Come without first telling us which one you want and you should be prepared to wait while we bathe the pup and make it ready to go home with you.

If you want to visit in person and play with puppies, please wear your old clothes. We may dress you in protective plastic clothing and disinfect you if you want to hold some of the younger puppies. Since viruses are highly contagious to other puppies, and because most vets think up to five vaccines may be needed to protect some puppies from Parvovirus strain B exposures, we will always raise the puppies in strict quarantine. A wise puppy shopper would buy a puppy based upon the number of vaccines that have been given-not how tiny and cute it is.

What happens If you buy your puppy from a breeder group, club, shelter, or pet store? These folks resell and rehome puppies. Most of these puppies were raised on puppy farms, some of which you wouldn't buy from if you saw where they came from. If the broker takes his van to collect puppies at 12 different out of state puppy farms that own 100 dogs each and then throws them into a van together, then your puppy has already been exposed to the viruses, diseases, and parasites of 1200 dogs before you even bring it home. Also, If you buy your puppy from a breeder group, club, or pet store and cannot visit the birthplace of your puppy, then how can you really be sure you're not buying from a puppy mill? Can you even be sure that they know how big it might get?  Shouldn't your puppy be a Healthy Pup?

Buy a puppy marked SALE and you can buy the puppy for less, plus you may be able to skip several vet visits because the puppy shot schedule may already be complete. You also are getting a puppy that should be beyond the age of vaccine reactions and viruses when you choose a slightly older puppy. Some of these get left behind because the entire nation was doing beach vacations or childrens sports simultaneously and did not have time to bring home a puppy at that moment.

House training your puppy is also a good reason to know where your puppy came from, and that a home breeder with no kennel facility has not already accidentally pre-trained it to urinate in your floor by allowing it to potty on a floor that looks like yours. You are much less likely to have unforeseen expenses from the puppies we sell. Our knowledge has come through 40+ years of hands-on experience with the same group of dogs. Not even our senior vets have likely had this unique learning opportunity!

If you think our prices are too high, then you have not yet learned that free puppies are often NOT cheaper.

Call us BEFORE you're decieved by fake sellers seeking deposits, cleverly disguised broker pet stores with fake reviews, impressive facilities, and elaborate websites that are reselling backyard "5-star elite" puppies for a quick profit. Will you be conned into making unnecessary monthly insurance or other payments to not void your worthless 10 year warranty, or have unexpected vet bills from inexperienced caregivers?
