Occasionally we hold back puppies to grow out for clients who wish to skip the puppy stage or have other young adults we are looking to place in forever homes. All dogs are current on heartworm and flea and tick preventatives. Pictures of the parents and copies of their health clearances are included in each dog's folder. Also included are each dog's vaccine and de worming schedules along with a wealth of information on how to raise a healthy and happy dog.
Please note that we do not ship puppies or dogs by air during the summer months and are located in Atlanta, Georgia.
These dogs are more expensive than our eight week old puppies as an extra cost is added to cover boarding, food, medical expenses, and training. Only dogs that we retire from our breeding program that are six years and older are less expensive. If you are interested in any of the young prospects on this page please fill out and send me the application. Thank you!
