Healthy Pups is a family-owned, USDA standard, government-inspected quarantine nursery in Roaring River, NC. We have been breeding and raising puppies on the same property since 1982, and every puppy on our website was born in our facility. We are not a broker or a middleman. We are the breeder, and we proudly serve families across the southern piedmont with healthy, well-socialized Southern piedmont puppies ready for their forever homes.

Why Families Trust Healthy Pups

Many online sellers are not what they seem. Our approach is built on transparency, experience, and a care standard that puts your puppy's health first.

Here is what makes us different from other options for Cleveland County puppies:

• We are the actual breeder. Visit our nursery, see where your puppy was born, learn its true genetics and history, and know exactly who raised it.
• Quarantine-raised from birth. Our $1,000,000+ facility is hospital-clean and biosecure. Puppies have no contact with outside animals, other breeders' dogs, broker collection vans, or the public until they go home with you.
• Vaccinations already started. Every puppy leaves with at least two Nobivac vaccines completed. Puppies that stay in our care longer receive up to five or six vaccines through the full puppy shot schedule.
• Written health warranty. We guarantee no pre-purchase viral exposures and no unexpected vet bills at your initial exam. Our warranty has no hidden clauses, no required monthly insurance payments, and no mandatory supplement purchases.
• Preventative ownership education. Our 40+ years of experience have taught us that the greatest factor in your puppy's long-term health is what happens after the sale. We share that knowledge freely to help lower your ownership costs and increase your puppy's life expectancy.
• 24-hour help line. Support does not end when you leave our property. We are available around the clock for questions and guidance.

Designer Dogs and Available Breeds

We focus on diverse genetics because mixes are consistently healthier, smarter, more affectionate, and easier to train than many purebred alternatives. We carry select purebreds as well, but encourage families to explore the health benefits of designer breeds before deciding.

Breeds and mixes frequently available or in upcoming litters include:

• Maltipoo
• Cavapoo
• Mini and Toy Goldendoodle
• Yorkiepoo
• Shichon (Teddy Bear)
• Morkiepoo
• Schnoodle
• Bichpoo
• Shihpoo
• Havapoo
• Aussiedoodle
• Frenchton
• Puggle and Fruggle
• Pekeapoo and Pompoo

All puppies listed on our website are currently available. We update the site immediately after each sale. Prices are posted below each puppy video, and our pricing is competitive because we raise our own puppies rather than sharing profits with a broker network. Call (336) 957-3609 to discuss which breed is right for your household.

How to Visit or Get Your Puppy from the Cleveland County Area

Our nursery in Roaring River, NC, is approximately two hours north of Cleveland County. We are open six days per week by appointment. Here is how to get started:

1. Browse available puppies on our website. Watch the videos and note any puppies that interest you. Turn on the sound for the full experience, and keep in mind that pups in videos are often smaller than they appear.
2. Call to schedule your appointment. Reach us at (336) 957-3609. If you let us know your favorites ahead of time, we can have them bathed and ready before you arrive.
3. Try a video chat first. We offer Facetime, Google Duo, and Facebook Messenger video calls so you can see puppies up close from home. This is an easy way to narrow your choices before making the drive.
4. Reserve with a deposit. A $208 deposit holds any available puppy until you are ready to pick up. Pay nothing else until you come.

Delivery Options for Border Area Families

If making the trip is not convenient, we work with trusted courier services and flight nannies who can bring your puppy to you. A courier can meet you at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, which is about 45 minutes from Cleveland County, or deliver directly to your door. Delivery fees are arranged and paid between you and the courier. Call us for referrals to services that other families have used without issue.

What Comes Home with Your Puppy

Every puppy from Healthy Pups comes home with more than just a wagging tail. We prepare your puppy for a smooth transition with the following:

• A small bag of the food your puppy has been eating, so you can maintain diet consistency during the adjustment period
• Vaccination records showing what has been given and when the next vaccine is due
• A written, detailed health warranty
• Wormers and anti-protozoal medications as prescribed by our supervising veterinarian
• An ISO microchip (registration with a database company of your choice is required after purchase)
• Care instructions and access to our 24-hour help line

Our puppies have already begun crate training in the nursery, which gives them a head start on successful house training before they arrive at your home. We recommend continuing crate training and avoiding pad or paper training, which can create long-term confusion for some dogs.

Avoiding Puppy Scams in the Southern Piedmont

Online puppy shopping carries real risks. Many listings for border area breeders and Cleveland County puppies come from fake sellers seeking deposits or brokers reselling puppies from unknown sources with deceptive warranties.

Protect yourself by following these guidelines:

• Visit the breeder or request a live video chat. If a seller will not show you where the puppies are raised, move on.
• Ask about quarantine and vaccination history. Puppies not raised in a biosecure environment are far more likely to develop viruses and parasites that lead to expensive vet visits.
• Read the warranty carefully. If it requires monthly insurance payments, expensive supplement subscriptions, or other ongoing costs, those conditions exist to benefit the seller, not you.
• Buy directly from the breeder. When you buy from Healthy Pups, you are buying from the person who actually bred and raised your puppy and knows its complete history.

You can interact with hundreds of past customers on our Facebook page and review honest feedback through our references page.
