About Us

Our Policies & Puppy Promise
For the safety of our family and our puppies, we do not allow in-home visits.
While we understand that meeting your future puppy is exciting, the health and security of our babies—and any expectant moms—is our top priority. Years ago, despite our best efforts, a visiting illness brought heartache to one of our families and to us. Even everyday germs brought in on clothing or shoes can pose serious risks to newborns.

This is also our home, and we have children to protect. Sadly, we live in a world where not everyone has good intentions. Safety comes first—for the pups and for our family. We know this policy isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. If visiting before pick-up is a requirement for you, we may not be the right breeder.

Puppy Pick-Up Timing
Puppies are typically ready to go between 10–12 weeks of age. We do not send babies home at 8 weeks unless we feel they’re developmentally ready. Each pup is evaluated individually to ensure they’re confident, well-adjusted, and prepared for their next adventure. We’ll keep you updated as your puppy grows, and let you know when the time is right.

How Our Puppies Are Raised
All of our puppies are lovingly raised inside our home as part of the family—from day one. My 11-year-old granddaughter helps nurture them, and they grow up surrounded by love, laughter, and the normal buzz of daily life. From the TV to vacuum cleaners, kids playing, and even cats and other dogs—our puppies are introduced early to a variety of sights, sounds, and situations.

We also follow the Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) program, also known as the Bio Sensor Program. Originally developed by the U.S. military, this routine is proven to help puppies grow into more resilient, healthier, and more adaptable companions.

​

Benefits include:
1. Improved cardiovascular performance
2. Stronger heartbeats & adrenal systems
3. Better tolerance to stress
4. Greater resistance to illness
5. More confidence and curiosity

We use age-appropriate activities like boxes, wobble boards, ramps, walkers, and even skateboards to build confidence and social skills. Puppies are also introduced to crates before going home, making the transition easier for everyone.

What Comes With Your Puppy
Each puppy goes home with:

1. At least two sets of vet-administered shots
2. Florida health certificate
3. Microchip (we stay listed as backup contact for life)
4. Written Lifetime Health Guarantee
5. A Free month of Trupanion pet insurance
6. A great take home bag with essentials to help your puppy settle in!

All parents are genetically health tested and cleared, and registered with ASDR (Aussies) or AKC/CKC (Shih Tzus).
Please note: all puppies are sold as pets only—NO REGISTRATION PAPER WILL BE PROVIDED.

Our Commitment to Our Puppies
We offer a lifetime return policy. If, at any point in your puppy’s life, you can no longer keep them, they must be returned to us or placed with someone we approve. We never want one of our babies ending up in a shelter or being rehomed without our knowledge.

Placing a Deposit
To reserve a puppy, a 50% deposit is required. Remaining balance is due at pickup. Accepted forms of payment include:
Zelle
Venmo

Overnighted checks (FedEx or USPS with signature and tracking required)
Please understand that deposits are non-refundable, unless something happens to the puppy while in our care. If needed, deposits may be transferred to a future litter.

Lifetime Support
We’re here for you, always. We’ve placed puppies across the U.S., Canada, and even Puerto Rico. We’re proud to have repeat families and tons of glowing references—just ask! Our veterinarian, who owns one of our Aussies, is also available as a reference.

Once you place a deposit, we welcome you to connect with us via Facebook. It’s a great way to stay in touch, watch your puppy grow, and be part of our extended family.

If you have any questions, we’d love to chat. Use the contact form here on our website, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

💛 Thank you for trusting us to raise your future best friend.
