Puppy Information
Puppy Raising
I raise my puppies with modified ENS and Puppy Culture. What this means is that while I utilize many of the methods in these programs, I also incorporate my own things with a very heavy emphasis on socialization and forming a puppy’s bond with humans early on. I want to set my puppies up for success in their new homes and take pride in how I prepare them. They get weekly nail trims starting by a week old, weekly baths and blow dries starting at 4 weeks old. I introduce them to crates and car rides as well. They are raised with a young child and other adult dogs other than their mother.
Common Questions
What health testing do your breeding dogs have?
All of my breeding dogs have been fully health tested - breed specific genetic panel, eye exams (CAER) by a canine opthalmologist, joint certifications for hips and elbows through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA).
How much are your Finnish Lapphund puppies?
My puppies are $3500 - regardless of gender, color, show/pet.
What do puppies come with?
Puppies come with AKC registration, first round of puppy vaccinations, dewormings, microchipped, CAER exams by a canine opthalmologist, puppy vet check and a health certificate.
Process
We do NOT place puppies on a “first come, first serve basis.” We work with buyers to choose what puppy would be the best fit for their home and lifestyle. It is our goal for the dog to have a happy, lifetime home and that the owners are equally happy. This is why we do not allow buyers to pick their own puppy. While you may have a gender/color preference, please understand that with these preferences, it may take longer for an appropriate puppy to be available to you.
In placing puppies, we make placement determinations based on the individual temperament and personality of each puppy. Again, we want to ensure everyone is happy for the lifetime of the dog and we take a lot of time to ensure that we properly evaluate each puppy to ensure appropriate placements. Formal evaluations are done between 6 and 8wks of age where we can properly assess temperament, structure and movement.
