Visitation Policy

Thank you so much to everyone who wants to visit our home. We truly appreciate the excitement and love people have for our puppies. We work hard to create an environment that keeps our moms, pups, and adult dogs comfortable, safe, and thriving.

Many families have heard that a good breeder will allow visits, and it’s very common for people to wonder if they can meet, pick out, or play with the puppies before they are ready to go home at 8 weeks old. We completely understand the anticipation — but the answer is no, and it’s for very important reasons that protect both our dogs and your future puppy.

Why We Do Not Allow Visits

Stress on New Moms

For new moms, having unfamiliar visitors is extremely stressful while they are caring for their newborns. That stress passes directly to the puppies. And while you may be just one family hoping for a peek, we have many families waiting for puppies — plus others who simply want to “see the babies.” If we allowed everyone to visit, the moms’ routines would be disrupted, which can affect their ability to care for and feed their litters.

Risk of Illness

Young puppies are incredibly vulnerable to illness. Their immune systems are still developing, and even a harmless‑seeming visit can expose them to dangerous germs carried on shoes or clothing. Parvo, for example, can wipe out an entire litter within 48 hours and can be picked up unknowingly from parks, sidewalks, or schoolyards. We simply cannot take that risk with our puppies or with yours.

Protecting Every Family Waiting

By protecting all of our puppies from unnecessary stress and exposure, we are protecting your puppy. Imagine how heartbreaking it would be if someone’s well‑intentioned visit brought in an illness that caused a litter — including your future puppy — to be lost. Our strict bio‑security isn’t just for us; it’s for every family waiting for their new companion.

How We Raise and Prepare Your Puppy

We pour our time, energy, and hearts into raising healthy, confident puppies. This is what we do best, and we take that responsibility seriously. We know the wait can feel long, but we promise it will be worth it when you finally take your puppy home.

To help you stay connected during the journey, each litter has a private Facebook group and Instagram updates where we share photos and videos from birth until pickup day. This allows you to enjoy every milestone without compromising the safety of the puppies or our pack.

How Puppy Selection Works Without Visits

If you want help choosing the right puppy, we are here for you. We spend hours with the puppies every day and understand their developing personalities — but it’s important to remember that they are still very young, and your home environment, training, and lifestyle will shape who your puppy becomes.

We are always happy to guide families based on:

You never have to choose based only on looks or photos. We help ensure the right match.

Thank You

We kindly ask that you honor our program — and ultimately, your puppy — by respecting this policy. Your understanding means the world to us and helps ensure every puppy grows up healthy, confident, and ready for their new family.
