Visit our facebook page to blog with hundreds of happy customers. Read our reviews. Come visit our puppies and see their BIRTHPLACE. Most independent puppies for sale ads online are scammers seeking deposits for puppies that don't exist, OR a broker club pet store reselling puppy farm puppies that they really know nothing about, including how big they might get or if they have already been exposed to a puppy virus that could happen next week at your house. We are the breeder. Come HEAR the true history of your puppy. Already been scammed? PAY NOTHING til you VISIT US & see your puppy in person. We will hold your puppy without deposit during your drive time if you call us to make an appointment. Yes, you can video chat live w/ any puppy. We are very proud of our nursery. Visit us & watch our LIVE nursery cam.
If you have fallen in love with a puppy on our site, place a deposit on it. We believe that puppies and puppy love come from God. God has already sent you to us and caused you to fall in love. You don't need to pray about it while someone else buys your puppy.
So, how big do they get? Most people come to us already in love with the idea of getting the tiniest dog so it will be easy to hold and carry, and don't stop to think that too tiny dogs can be handicapped by their size and are like having a child in diapers that never grows up. Also, they get the incorrect idea that they must have several days at home to train their puppy. Emotional responses to the tiniest puppies dictate the decision to get a puppy in the minds of most people. However, too tiny breeds very often don’t live more than 5-6 years. We replace many too tiny dogs that have hit their head/killed themselves, broken their legs, damaged their patellas from jumping up and down from furniture or climbing stairs...also many that had seizures, died of liver/kidney failure at only 5 yrs old, or got carried away by birds of prey from the backyard. Dogs that never get big enough to live in human homes and interact freely without constant assistance are NOT more convenient. 8 lbs is an okay size for a house dog. A gallon of milk weighs 8.6 lbs. An 8-12 lb dog can live 15 or more years if healthy genetics, good choices in pet products, healthy anatomy, and enhanced diet. 3 lbs can be very problematic. Wouldn't choosing a puppy based on the size of the parents that's strong enough to survive adaptive stresses (with minimal veterinary expenses) be a more logical thing to do than a tiniest (youngest) higher risk-higher cost emotional response?
Puppies in our videos are much smaller than they appear. Scroll down the page to the paragraph titled This Puppy. Dates, weights, and other info are posted there. See the cola bottle in each video to understand proper size perspective. If you want to save money, then choose a puppy marked SALE. See the weights of the parents and realize that most of the tiniest puppies will grow to be the same size as a 4-month pup in a few weeks. Nothing is wrong with an older on sale puppy. It was just ready to go home when almost everyone went to the beach, played summer ball, etc., and most will choose the smallest puppy while the first puppy continues to grow bigger. If you love puppies and want to do good, please rescue an older puppy. Please call and I can tell you how to house train a puppy even when you are busy, and we can talk about the many advantages of choosing an older puppy.
So, which puppy has the best personality? Puppies with diverse genetics are highly intelligent, and often will be slower to accept you. People sometimes spend hours trying to decide which puppy has the best personality. They watch our puppy videos and observe their behavior. They come crawl around in the floor and expect a puppy that may be more intelligent than they are to come jump in their lap. It is ALSO important to note that most of the puppies have just had their baths before your visit, and before videos are made. Bathing makes them shiver, shake, and even distrust us after being blow dried. Pointing a camera at an intelligent puppy can make them cower and shy away, yet people want to judge their personalities based upon their behavior in the videos. These issues don't mean that they have a bad personality:) It means that they are exceptionally intelligent. After feedback from several thousand past puppy buyers, I have learned that there doesn't seem to be a significant difference between the personalities of mentally healthy dogs once they are adapted and settled into their new homes.
Reproductive behaviors in breeding dogs not spayed/neutered are the leading cause of house dogs being evicted to public shelters. The puppy brokers deny truth, give home breeders elite titles, and make you believe they are heroes because they are giving your puppy special love and attention at their house. In reality, these folks want to make money raising puppies without investing in a proper place to keep them, and puppies that have been allowed to urinate indoors by an irresponsible home breeder can be harder to house train. WE BELIEVE that ALL BREEDING dogs should be kept in nice kennel facilities (NOT in human homes) so they are not evicted to shelters for bleeding & marking, and that all house dogs should be spayed/neutered to prevent these behaviors. Our puppies (& adults) are kept safe in our luxurious family nursery, loving each other in happy family groups as God intended.
WE ALSO BELIEVE that no puppy should go home until the 3rd vaccine is done. Our puppy moms have high tither levels that come from our special care protocol, allowing us to begin vaccines at only 5 weeks old with no vaccine reactions. Vaccine reactions are common in smallest breed puppies born to moms with normal tither levels. Our puppies receive their 3rd vaccine at 9 weeks old and are quarantined until that time, so we guarantee no puppy virus and no surprise extreme vet bill next week. Our warranty is an honest in house warranty that comes from Healthy Pups. Unlike the broker club pet store warranties, no monthly payments to a pet insurance company are required.
