Puppies for Sale Lincolnton, NC
Healthy Pups has been providing North Carolina families with quality puppies raised to exceptional standards since 1982. Our professional breeding facility, located within reasonable driving distance of Lincolnton, offers what many modern puppy sellers cannot: direct-from-breeder puppies raised in a state-of-the-art quarantine nursery focused on health and proper development.
Welcome to Healthy Pups: Professional Breeders Since 1982
Our journey began decades ago at the request of local veterinarians when our quarantined puppies were the only ones in our county to survive a devastating parvovirus pandemic. This foundation of health-focused breeding has guided our practices for over 40 years, earning us the trust of families throughout North Carolina, including many from the Lincolnton area.
Professional Breeding: The Foundation of Healthy Puppies
At Healthy Pups, we've invested over $1 million in our USDA-standard quarantine nursery specifically designed to produce healthier puppies with fewer complications.
Our Professional Standards Include:
- Hospital-Clean Quarantine Environment - Our puppies are raised in a controlled, sterilized facility that prevents exposure to viruses and parasites before their immune systems mature
- Comprehensive Veterinary Protocols - Following scientific vaccination schedules with puppies receiving multiple vaccines at 6, 8, 10, 13, 16, and 20 weeks as appropriate
- Experienced Health Monitoring - Over four decades of hands-on experience allows us to identify and address potential health issues before they become serious
- Genetic Diversity Focus - We prioritize mental and physical health through diverse genetics rather than the problematic line-breeding common in show dogs
This professional approach represents a significant difference from home-based breeders. While many believe puppies should be "lovingly raised in a human home," this environment often leads to accidental house-training problems and exposure to pathogens. Our specialized facility allows puppies to develop in a clean, controlled setting with appropriate socialization—setting them up for successful transitions to their forever homes.
Available Puppies for Lincolnton Families
We specialize in small to medium-sized breeds that make ideal companions for most living situations. Our puppies typically mature to between 5-25 pounds, perfect for families looking for manageable, house-friendly pets. We offer both purebred puppies and thoughtfully designed mixed breeds known for their superior health, intelligence, and temperament.
Popular Breeds Available to Lincolnton Families:
- Small Companion Breeds: Yorkies, Maltese, Shih Tzus, Poodles
- Family-Friendly Mixes: Schnoodles, Yorkiepoos, Maltipoos, Shichon (Teddy Bears)
- Designer Crosses: Puggles, Frenchtons, Beagapoos, Cavapoos
- Low-Shedding Options: Various poodle crosses ideal for families with allergy concerns
One major advantage we offer Lincolnton families is our emphasis on mixed-breed puppies. While purebreds certainly have their place, our extensive experience has shown that thoughtfully mixed breeds often demonstrate superior health, intelligence, and balanced temperaments compared to heavily line-bred show dogs.
Rather than focusing solely on tiny "teacup" varieties that often face significant health challenges, we guide Lincolnton families toward puppies of appropriate size for longevity and health. As we often remind customers, a gallon of milk weighs approximately 9 pounds – this provides a helpful perspective when considering practical size for a lifelong companion.
We regularly update our website with currently available puppies, allowing Lincolnton families to browse options before making the drive to our facility. Each listing includes videos, detailed descriptions, and transparent pricing information.
Health Guarantees: Protection for Your New Family Member
Every puppy at Healthy Pups benefits from our comprehensive health protocols developed through four decades of professional breeding experience. While many puppy sellers focus primarily on appearance and price, we've built our reputation on prioritizing health measures that protect both the puppies and their new families.
Our Health Commitment Includes:
- Honest Health Guarantees - We guarantee our puppies to be healthy upon receipt and free of untreatable genetic defects at 6-12 month veterinary evaluations
- No Warranty Gimmicks - Unlike competitors who require monthly insurance payments or expensive food purchases to maintain warranties, our guarantees are straightforward
- Preventative Health Measures - Regular fecal analysis, appropriate deworming, and proactive health monitoring
- Comprehensive Vaccination Protocol - Scientifically-timed vaccines with preventative measures against reactions
This approach allows us to confidently send puppies home with Lincolnton families knowing they've received every advantage for a healthy start. We provide detailed health records and care instructions with each puppy, ensuring families understand how to maintain the excellent care standards we've established.
Many Lincolnton customers appreciate our transparent approach to health issues. Rather than making unrealistic promises, we educate families about proper care, potential challenges, and preventative measures based on our extensive experience.

Our long history has generated countless testimonials from happy families throughout North Carolina. Here are just a few authentic experiences shared by our customers:
"I just wanted to thank you so much for being so straight forward and honest with me when I was looking to purchase a puppy. You advised me that in my situation a rat terrier would be my best option and it definitely was. You sold me a little, I think it was Tri-Pearl you called it, rat terrier about a month and a half ago and he has just been amazing!" - Stephanie Rhoney
"We bought a rat terrier puppy from you last August. We would be happy to serve as a reference for you. After reading every page of your website, we came to your kennel thinking we wanted another Chihuahua. We left with a darling rat terrier. We never looked back and have not had one ounce of regret about our decision." - Jay and Beth Rickerts, Summerfield NC
"I am writing to let you know how happy we are with our new Puggle who we named Evan. He is fun, adorable and perfect for our family. He has such a great personality. I also wanted to let you know, we entered him in the Bailey Road 9TH Annual Dog Show. He came in 2ND Place for the 'Cutest Puppy'. After the show, several people came up to us and said they thought he should have won 1ST!" - Barbara Parker
