Puppy
Information

Welcome
All puppies raised are raised with the Puppy Culture program and will be temperament tested before final placement with a local trainer/behaviorist that we know and trust. If you're interested in one of our puppies, please fill out our puppy application and we will be in contact with you. If we do not have a puppy for you, please refer to the "Breeder" page for a list of ethical breeder recommendations.

Puppy Culture
The Puppy Culture Program is a program in early socialization and puppy raising. It puts strong emphasis on early neurological stimulation but there are numerous parts to the program that includes: developmental periods, enrichment effects, early socialization, communication trinity, and problem prevention. This sets up the puppy for a successful future, and the breeder to raise a successful, confident litter. For more information on the Puppy Culture program, follow this link, (https://shoppuppyculture.com/). We encourage you to do research on the breed (as well as meeting many in person), and you will see how constructive this program is when raising litters.

General Information
​Puppy Placement: We place our puppies with the homes that best fit them. When we take deposits, puppies are not selected in the order for which deposits are placed. By placing the deposit, you are letting us know that you are serious about wanting a puppy from our program. We take preferences for sex and color into consideration, however that does not guarantee that puppy will be the best fit for you. Through the Puppy Culture Program that we use, it allows us to see how the puppy is growing and reacting. We will be able to judge what kind of dog it will grow into to the best of our abilities and we can select the best possible puppy for your lifestyle. If you do not like the puppy(s) that we have chosen for you due to your preference of gender and color you can move the deposit to our next planned litter. We will always do our best to help you find exactly what you are looking for.
Co-Ownership, AKC Registration, and Microchip: All of our puppies will leave our program on a co-ownership. Puppies going to a show home and/or full registration this is to prevent from litters being produced before the dog is less than two years of age, has completed health testing, and/or gained a title(s) in a sport. If all of this is completed then we will discuss what breeding your Briard will bring to the breed. We do not believe that every dog need's to be bred. A dog will only be bred if we feel they meet or exceed all our expectations for what we want in our program. For puppies leaving on limited registration for a pet home this will be to prevent litter and pre-mature spay/neuter. We do require the puppy to be spayed/neutered between 18-24 months, no sooner and no later. There will be more details in the contract about this and the consequences to buyer. All puppies will be microchipped and registered with AKC before they go home. More information can be found in our Puppy Contract, which we can email at any time.
Full Registration: Puppies on Full registration will be able to compete in AKC Conformation events.
Limited Registration: Puppies on Limited Registration will NOT be able to compete in AKC Conformation, however, can still compete in all other AKC sanctioned events.
Going Home, Vaccination & Worming Schedule: Our puppies go home between 8-10 weeks old. Puppies come home with potty training started, leash training, crate training, and more. Included in your puppy pack will be the puppies vaccination and worming pamphlet as well as a future schedule for you to follow with your vet. You will need to take this information with you into your puppy check appointment with you vet so they can have records of the puppies previous shots and worming. I follow the vaccination protocols recommended by my personal veterinarian.
Ear Cropping: Cropping your puppies ears is completely up to you, we support both cropped and natural eared options! If you decide to have your puppy cropped, your puppy will be cropped by my trusted Veterinarian before going home. Ear cropping is $600 and is not included in the puppy price.
