𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝑰 𝑫𝒐𝒏’𝒕 𝑳𝒆𝒕 𝑷𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝑴𝒚 𝑯𝒐𝒎𝒆

I get asked this all the time,
and I promise, I understand the question.

If I was getting a puppy, I’d want to see everything too. Where they’re raised, meet the mom, just make sure it all feels right.

So I get it 🤍

But there are a few reasons I don’t allow visitors into my home… and they’re very intentional.

First let’s talk about something most people don’t even think about…

your shoes.

Anything you’ve stepped in vet offices, pet stores, gas stations, parks, even your own yard can carry things like parvo, giardia, coccidia.

You won’t see it. You won’t know it’s there.
But all it takes is one visit, one exposure…

and now it’s inside with a litter of puppies whose immune systems are still developing.

And once something like that is brought in, it’s not just “clean it and move on.”

It spreads fast.
It’s expensive to treat.
And in worst cases you can lose an entire litter.

That’s not a risk I’m willing to take. Ever.

And then there’s the part people don’t always want to think about…

safety.

Cases like the Paul Peavey case and the Florida dognapping shootout are a big reason a lot of breeders have changed how they do things.

To put it simply,
these weren’t just “someone tried to steal a dog” situations.

Homes were targeted.
People were followed.
Dogs were stolen for resale or breeding.
And in one of these cases, it escalated into taking someone’s life.

All because someone knew where the dogs were.

That’s real life. Not just something you see online.

And when you’re raising multiple dogs and litters you have to think about protecting them long-term, not just in the moment.

So for me, it comes down to this:

I’m not running a storefront with people coming in and out all day.

These puppies are born and raised in my home.
They’re part of my daily life.

And it’s my job to protect that environment even if it’s not what everyone expects.

That being said, I also never want anyone to feel like they’re going into this blindly.

So I offer other ways for you to see everything.

We can FaceTime so you can see mom, the puppies, and how they’re being raised in real time.
I send constant photo and video updates.
And we do public meet-ups so you can meet your puppy and the parents safely before bringing them home.

At the end of the day, it’s not about being unwelcoming.

It’s about being protective.

Of my dogs.
Of my puppies.
And of something I’ve worked really hard to build.

And I’ll always choose that 🤍

THIS IS WHY BREEDERS ASK FOR A DEPOSIT !!!! I keep seeing people say that if a breeder asks for a deposit, it’s a scam.
That’s not accurate and honestly, it shows a misunderstanding of how responsible programs operate.
A deposit isn’t just “sending money.”
It’s you saying: this is the puppy I’m committing to.
And on our end, it’s us saying: okay, we’re committing this puppy to you.
That means we stop advertising that puppy.
We stop taking other applications for that spot.
We turn away other families who were ready.
Now let me give a real scenario-
Let’s say a family places a deposit on a puppy. We mark that puppy as reserved, update our listings, and tell other interested homes that he’s no longer available.
A two weeks later, that family changes their mind.
In those two weeks, we could have placed that puppy with another ready, qualified home but we didn’t, because he was spoken for.
Now we’re starting over.
That’s exactly why deposits are non-refundable.
Not because we’re trying to make money off someone changing their mind
but because time, opportunity, and serious homes were already invested into that reservation.
Deposits aren’t a red flag.
They’re what keep things fair, organized, and intentional for both the breeder and the families on our waitlist.
Any ethical breeder should have this clearly explained and written out before you ever send anything.
If you’re unsure, ask questions. You should.
But calling deposits a scam across the board just isn’t accurate and it discredits breeders who are doing things the right way.
This isn’t like buying something you can put back on a shelf.
These are real puppies, real time, and real planning that goes into every placement.
If you’re not ready to commit
you’re not ready for a puppy.
