HOW WE RAISE OUR PUPPIES
Our puppies are raised right in our home where mama and babies can be monitored very closely. For the first three days of life we interact with puppies, but we do limit this interaction. We want puppies to start recognizing human touch, but we also want puppies to get the hang of things with their mama. At day 3 we start puppy socialization with early neurological stimulation and we continue this through day 16. This stimulation is thought to kickstart the neurological system quicker than if not done as puppies eyes typically open around day 10 and sense of hearing kicks in around 2 weeks. AKC explains “five benefits have been observed in canines that were exposed to ENS, including improved cardio vascular performance (heart rate); stronger heart beats; stronger adrenal glands; more tolerance to stress; and greater resistance to disease.” After day 16 we don’t stop there as we will begin exposing puppies to different environments and objects. We want puppies to be ready for the world when they go home to you. We do all of these things to better their development and so we can get a sense of the puppies disposition and personality. Knowing our puppies will help us help you pick the best puppy for you and your lifestyle. All of the above may seem like all work and no play, but I can assure you these pups are well loved and treated like our own until we hand them off to you. After you bring your pup home we remain involved if you’d like us too as we would love to see the pups grow!
PUPPY SELECTION
Puppy selection is a big deal to us. We want to make sure pups are going to get just what they need when they get to their furever home. We begin taking deposits as early as week one as we begin to analyze each pup noting the behavioral traits and disposition. We really try to be match makers when you get your new furry friend because puppies are so much more than the color of their fur and their cute puppy dog eyes. Of course you have a say in which pup you want, but we try our best to let you know the pups behaviors and personality. You are more than welcome to come see pups and you can follow our Facebook page to watch pups grow as well. Once a deposit is placed you will be added to an exclusive Facebook group just for Daisy Doodle owners so you can watch them on the daily!

PUPPY PRICING
Puppy prices range from $1000-$2000 depending on genetics (color, markings, etc). Right now we are only selling with limited rights, no breeding rights at this time. Pricing is subject to change at anytime on available puppies. Once a puppy is reserved with a contract that is the price of your puppy, no refunds will ge made.
WHEN CAN I TAKE MY PUPPY HOME?
Puppies will be ready for their new homes at 8 weeks. Absolutely no sooner. Puppies may be weaned at 6 weeks, but they need their litter mates and mama up until 8 weeks. We also want vaccines to develop appropriately prior to letting them go home.
DO YOU SHIP YOUR PUPPIES?
No, we do not ship our puppies. We do not want to risk puppies being exposed to under vaccinated animals, communicable diseases, fleas, or any other parasites. We will be happy to discuss delivery (additional fees for delivery).
DO YOU HEALTH TEST YOUR DOGS?
Yes, absolutely! We want to ensure we are producing healthy pups so genetic testing is done to both sire and dam. While physical health is important, genetic testing is also pertinent so we know what they are potentially passing to pups. Our goal is always happy AND healthy pups for our families. Orthopedic hip testing is also completed on our dogs at 2 years of age (this is when OFA can be done).
CAN I COME SEE THE PUPPIES?
You are always welcome to come see the puppies and parents. If you are local it will be much easier for you, but if you are far away and willing to travel we are happy to have you as well.
ARE PUPPIES POTTY TRAINED?
Puppies will not be fully potty trained at 8 weeks old. We do use litter boxes filled with alfalfa pellets to get the puppies familiar with the grass smell. It is really unlikely a large litter of pups would be potty trained. Potty training is something new owners will have to do with their new puppy!
CAN I SEE THE PARENTS PEDIGREE?
You can, just ask. We only send these on request to reduce the potential of fraud (we’ve never had it happen, but it is known that there are people who steal pedigrees).
