🐾 Occasionally we receive comments regarding the pricing of our puppies, and we feel it’s important to help people understand what truly goes into raising healthy, well-socialized puppies responsibly.
The truth is — we do not charge a fraction of what we have invested into our dogs and puppies. When we chose our breeding dogs, we chose quality, health, temperament, and proper care over “cheap.”
Our dogs are not just sitting outside in a yard eating the cheapest food while puppies magically appear. That is not how ethical, responsible breeding works.
Reputable breeders invest thousands upon thousands into:
🐶 Quality food
🐶 Veterinary care
🐶 Emergency supplies
🐶 Grooming
🐶 Health monitoring
🐶 Training & socialization
🐶 Safe, clean environments
🐶 Around-the-clock puppy care
When we have puppies, our lives revolve around them.
24/7. Every day of the week—no weekends off.
For weeks, they rarely leave our sight. We monitor weights, feeding schedules, development, health, cleanliness, and safety constantly — often around the clock. Some puppies require bottle feeding, extra medical care, sleepless nights, and nonstop attention just to ensure they thrive.
There are moments of exhaustion, worry, sacrifice, heartbreak, joy, and overwhelming love behind the scenes that many people never see.
Vacations, holidays, events, birthdays, and personal plans often get put on hold because these puppies depend on us completely.
And even when we do not have puppies, the work never stops. Our dogs still require daily care, training, enrichment, grooming, cleaning, and ongoing education so we can continue improving and providing the best possible companions for families.
This is not just a hobby.
This is our job.
It’s not quick money.
It’s a lifestyle, a commitment, and a passion for our breed.
We love what we do, and we are proud of the healthy, loved, stable puppies we raise.
So to all of our past families, returning families, and supporters — thank you for valuing the time, care, and dedication that goes into these precious babies. ❤️
Thank you for choosing us for your new babies!!!
🫶 I didn’t originally write this, but it is very well said and deeply relatable for many responsible breeders.
Thank you,
