​​​We receive many requests from families wanting to visit our home and meet the parents/puppies before placing a deposit, which is completely understandable. However, many of our dogs live in Guardian Homes and are not here with us full time. We are also a small, in home breeder, not a commercial facility, and must prioritize our family’s safety, the well being of our dogs and our time.

​

We understand that it’s often recommended to meet the parents and see where the puppies are being raised before committing to a puppy. However, having frequent visitors does not safeguard the health of our dogs or the integrity of our breeding program. Visitors can unknowingly carry and introduce serious diseases that pose a significant risk to both our puppies and adult dogs. In addition, strangers in the home can stress new mothers and, in some cases, accidentally injure the puppies. For these reasons, only families who have submitted an application and placed a deposit are able to visit and choose their puppy at 8 weeks of age.

 

To give you insight into our puppies and program, and how they are raised, we’re happy to share our puppy albums and feedback from families who have welcomed our puppies.

​

To protect the puppies from illness, we ask that you:

• Avoid pet stores, kennels, dog parks, breeders, and veterinary clinics before visiting, to reduce the risk of spreading diseases like Parvo.

• Wear freshly laundered clothes on the day of your visit.

• Leave shoes at the front door; hand sanitizer will be provided before handling puppies.

For the safety of our puppies, young children are no longer allowed on visiting day. We’ve had several instances where excited children ran or jumped around our home and nearly stepped or fell on puppies.

These measures help protect our puppies and the families eagerly waiting to bring them home. Thank you so much for your understanding and cooperation!

Puppies 8 Weeks & Older

​

 

Occasionally, we have puppies available that are over 8 weeks old.  Only families who have placed a deposit are able to visit the puppies. If, after your visit, you feel the puppy is not the right fit for your family, we will fully refund your deposit.

​

Puppies are ready to go home at the time of your visit. However, if you need a couple of days to prepare, we’re happy to hold your puppy at no extra charge. If a longer stay is required, a boarding fee of $30/day will be applied to the purchase price.

​​

*Please do not visit any breeders before coming to see our puppies. While we understand the importance of finding the right fit for your family, this can put our puppies at serious risk. Parvo is highly contagious and deadly, and it is currently affecting dogs and puppies in Manitoba. Once introduced to a property, it is nearly impossible to eliminate, jeopardizing the health of our puppies and our entire program. Thank you for understanding and helping us keep our puppies safe!

​

We understand that you want to see where our puppies are raised and how they are cared for. However, for the safety of our dogs, we do not allow visitors to walk through their areas. You may unknowingly carry Parvo on your shoes, and since it spreads rapidly and can be deadly within 48 hours, we must take every precaution. Unfortunately, we know of breeders who have lost entire litters to Parvo, and we are committed to preventing that from happening here. Additionally, we do not allow anyone to bring their dog to our home.  Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep our puppies safe and healthy!
