There name says it all. They were bred to keep royalty company. They are eager to please you and don't have a mean bone in their body. They make a perfect dog for first time puppy owners, they are phenomenal with kids, easily trainable, love to cuddle, and will also gladly play if you want to have some fun. You will find they want to be a part of your family and most everything you do. They are known to be extremely sweet in nature, because of this they make the perfect companion, emotional support animal, and therapy dog.
6. Where are the puppies raised?
Right here in our home with your family. They receive lots of love, attention, and social interactions with exposure to all types of situations.
7. What health testing do we do on the parents?
We run genetic panel screenings for all bread related genetic diseases and more. Our dogs are taken yearly to specialists for their Orthopedic Foundation for Animals tests and Penn hip as well. These are not your generic vet visits, these tests go above and beyond the normal evaluations done to include in-depth testing with different types of specialists for each evaluation. They must receive their breed specific certifications before being considered to breed.
8. If I can no longer care for my puppy will you take it back?
Of course we not only will take the puppy back, but it is written in our contract that if there is any reason you need to rehome the puppy you must return it to us and no one else. Part of being a responsible breeder is not letting any of our dogs being surrendered to a shelter. We understand that unforeseen circumstances happen in life and families can no longer take care of their dog. You will not be shamed or judged if you feel you need to return the dog for any reason. Please see our contract for more information.
9. Do you offer shipping?
We believe dogs, especially puppies should never be shipped in the cargo section of a plane. For that reason we offer amazing experienced flight nannies that know how to travel with a new puppy. They take precious care of your puppy and never allow their paws to touch the ground at the airports or anywhere along their travels, to ensure their health along the way. We travel all over the United States and try to accommodate travel outside the United States. Please note that this is not included in the costs of the puppy. Please contact us for further information.
10. Do we require spay/neutering?
We have a very strict spay/neuter policy stating they must be fixed. Breeding rights are occasionally offered through an application process.
11. Should I put down a deposit on a puppy before the litter is born?
It is our #1 priority to place puppies with families who are ready for a life long commitment of having a dog and evaluating potential forever homes for a puppy is very time consuming.
​​​
We receive many inquiries about puppies, there have been occasions where a prequalified buyer is interested however they decide to not move forward with a deposit. The puppies typically are reserved quickly and some most of difficult calls I have had to make is letting a family know that puppy they had their hearts set on is no longer available.
​​
Deposits also serve as a tool to evaluate potential forever homes. When a buyer puts down a deposit it indicates to us that the buyer is serious and is not "window shopping". Buyers who put down deposits are typically people who are committed to follow through with their responsibility with having a new puppy.
Interviewing, selecting, and preparing new owners takes a huge amount of time and energy to prequalify a family for a puppy and is difficult to do around the same time they are born. Prior to the birth of the puppies, we are on call around the clock, waiting and supporting momma while she is preparing to go into labor. Once she goes into labor, we are with her every minute of the labor process to ensure the health and safety of mom and her pups. Once they are born the puppies are completely dependent on mom and at this time we have many sleepless nights caring for mom and pups.
​
However, if for whatever reason the mom does not get pregnant or a puppy passes you will have the option to receive the full deposit back or transfer it to another litter.
