Boy 1

Getting to know the puppy behind the picture.

Puppy selection begins at eight weeks or later, after DNA results are received, breeding-prospect evaluations are complete, and each puppy’s placement options are determined and clearly communicated. Breeding prospects may be placed through an appropriate Guardian Home or Co-ownership agreement. Approved families then choose eligible puppies in reservation-deposit order within their litter, with our candid, individualized temperament and suitability guidance.

We consider temperament, confidence, resilience, activity level, training potential, household lifestyle, owner experience, intended activities, and compatibility with other pets. Our assessments help families consider temperament and suitability alongside appearance preferences. Early observations help guide a match; they do not guarantee adult behavior or performance.

A window into everyday puppy care.

Approved homes that have placed their $650 NONREFUNDABLE deposits receive nursery nanny camera access after their intended litter is born. Families can observe the puppies’ everyday environment, care, personalities, and interactions firsthand, beyond selected photographs, videos, and updates. This is part of our commitment to transparency. Uninterrupted camera availability is not promised, and access does not guarantee the availability of a particular puppy or a guaranteed temperament.

Foundations before homecoming, support afterward.

Go-home timing is determined individually for each litter based on development, health, and readiness. Puppies continue receiving age-appropriate socialization, foundational obedience, canine communication, confidence building, environmental exposure, handling, leash and potty-training foundations, and mental enrichment. Complete house training, crate training, or obedience is not guaranteed before go-home.

Our balanced approach combines positive reinforcement, clear communication, consistent expectations, appropriate boundaries, and fair, humane, age-appropriate corrections. We help families build engagement, settling, independence, and appropriate outlets for intelligent, active dogs while respecting each puppy’s temperament and development.

Schedule your puppy’s veterinary examination before pickup so it takes place within three days of bringing your puppy home. Bring the vaccination, deworming, and health records provided with your puppy.

Keep your puppy on familiar food initially. If changing foods, transition gradually over 7–11 days while watching appetite, stools, and digestive comfort. Our Puppy Go-Home Guide covers preparation and continued care.
