We do not allow it to be done sooner, as it affects their growth plates a large breed.
Socialization and Support
​Our puppies are socialized with children, dogs, and cats. They have a head start on potty training through the use of animal bedding and a dog door. Early neurological stimulation (ENS) is initiated at a young age to provide the best start for our puppies. We offer four rounds of deworming, three rounds of vaccinations, a microchip, veterinary records from the first visit, and lifetime breeder.
Do we accept returned dogs?
We understand that life happens, so we require all of our puppies to be returned to us if you are unable to keep them. However, we will refuse any aggressive behaviors due to the danger they pose to our families. Please seek advice from your trainer and/or breeder before aggressive behavior or misbehavior becomes an issue, and discuss the next steps.
