What to expect when you visit
We take the health of our puppies very seriously. Please wear clean clothes and shoes when you visit. Please do not visit other puppies before visiting our puppies. We want to make sure that we keep our babies as healthy as possible, and do everything that we can to protect them from communicable illnesses. You are welcome to visit the puppies any time after they are four weeks old.
We do not allow visits from other dogs under any circumstances. It is very stressful for our mother dogs and baby puppies and we want to keep them as happy and comfortable as we possibly can!
Please try to be here within 15 minutes of your scheduled time. We like to make sure that everyone gets enough time with their puppies; that is dependent on all of our visitors being on time. We limit our visits to 45 minutes. You are welcome to meet the puppies and their parents.
Children are welcome, and we encourage you to bring your family, as long as supervision will be provided.
