Puppies start at $2000, with no breeding rights.
We have puppies every 6-10 months. I mean, of course that all depends on how “things” go.
We typically have at least one litter in the Winter months. So, around November or December and then 6-8 months later, we will have another.
We never take deposits. If you want a puppy, you fill out the application and we chat on the phone. I do not believe in taking your money until I know you have a healthy puppy through a Vet check and upon your own examination of the puppy upon pick up.
A backyard breeder is someone who does not breed their dogs responsibly. Everybody has their own definition of what that means.
Backyard breeding can be compared to puppy mills except the obvious difference of being an actual person’s backyard rather than a warehouse full of puppies. That’s not to say that the two situations never intersect, they do. There can be a backyard with hundreds of puppies and likewise, a company can be breeding from a backyard.
Some of these definitions I agree with, some I obviously do not. I think what it comes down to is, are the dogs healthy? Are the puppies healthy?
Every breeder will be called a backyard breeder (BYB) or a puppy mill, if they are in it long enough. Because, the truth is, just like every single animal on the planet, sometimes babies are born or created and they are not the “standard” of that animal. Does that make the person a bad breeder? Absolutely not. If you saw a mother of a special needs child, would you call her a bad mother? What about mothers who knowingly have children that will be special needs? Of course you wouldn’t.
I am absolutely not suggesting that breeding spot to spot is responsible. It’s not because those white, deaf and sometimes blind babies frequently end up in the pound, or worse. It is well-known the outcome of those puppies and that they are frequently unwanted. I also recognize that accidents do happen. Should they? No, every measure of prevention should be taken but accidents *do* happen!
I am not here to preach or judge. I have my own little program. I do what I can to better my lines. What is important to me, personally, health, personality and confirmation. For that reason, I do not participates in some of the aforementioned practices but, that is a personal choice I make for my program.
At this point I believe that everyone has been called a backyard breeder out of competitiveness, spite, and not knowing what they are talking about.
Do I have a backyard?
Yes
I personally do not like it. I personally do not see a need for it. When you crop you really never know what you are going to get. If the crop is too short, too long, or you don’t follow the correct procedures or…on and on and on….you may end up with the worst looking ears. No thanks! I’ll take the floppy cute ears any day!

Nope. It is like cutting their little thumbs off and they do cry. I just can’t. Sorry.
I used to send them with my trusted ground shipper but unfortunately he was killed in 2019 in a car accident. I will only ship via a ground shipper, never a plane. I sometimes will hand deliver to you as well. It gives me a chance for my puppies to go into other states and I like that thought.
We are in Phoenix, near Surprise.
We can under certain conditions.
Yes, of course!
Yes and no. I will always take my dogs back, at any age, for any reason. I do not cover Vet, travel or training bills. This goes for both CKC and AKC lines.
Remember, that it is so important that you feed them the correct food because you can alter their bone growth and density for life.
I will always be here for support for the life of the dog to answer any questions. If I can’t answer them, I will call my Vet for advice and get back to you.
I want you to feel comfortable getting one of my pups. But saying all that, I want you to understand that though legally dogs are chattel, I want *you* to see them as a family member. To me they are not just chattel, they are like children. I honestly hate all this health guarantee stuff but I do understand it. It just feels like a prenuptial agreement to me.
Puppies do go home with at least 1 Vet check, shots, etc. So if a puppy is placed and was not healthy enough to have been placed, I will discuss it with your Vet. Just to note, this has never happened so I don’t have a standard to which I follow if a puppy is not healthy. I will have to deal with the situation on a case by case basis.
