​Visitor Policy
​​
We receive many requests from families wanting to visit our home and meet the puppies before placing a deposit, which is understandable. We are a small in-home breeder and not a commercial facility—we must prioritize our time, our family's safety, and the well-being of our dogs. Unfortunately, we cannot open our home to the public without knowing more about the visitors.
Once the puppies have completed their temperament evaluations, families who have placed a deposit are welcome to visit and, with our guidance, select the puppy that best suits their family.
Before your visit, please do not go to pet stores, kennels, dog parks, breeders, or veterinary clinics to prevent the spread of diseases like Parvo. Please wear freshly laundered clothes on the day of your visit.
Shoes must be left at the front door, and hand sanitizer will be provided before handling the puppies.
For the safety of our puppies, young children are no longer allowed on visiting day. We have had too many instances where children ran around the home and nearly stepped or fell on puppies.
These measures help protect not only our puppies but also the families eagerly waiting to bring their new companion home. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
​​
Puppies 8+ weeks
​
Occasionally, we have puppies available that are over 8 weeks old. Only families who have placed a deposit are welcome to visit the puppies. If, after your visit, you feel the puppy is not the right fit for your family, we will fully refund your deposit.
​
Puppies are ready to go home at the time of your visit. However, if you need a couple of days to prepare, we’re happy to hold your puppy at no extra charge. If a longer stay is required, a boarding fee will be applied to the purchase price.
​​
*Please do not visit any breeders before coming to see our puppies. While we understand the importance of finding the right fit for your family, this can put our puppies at serious risk. Parvo is highly contagious and deadly, and it is currently affecting dogs and puppies in Manitoba. Once introduced to a property, it is nearly impossible to eliminate, jeopardizing the health of our puppies and our entire program. Thank you for understanding and helping us keep our puppies safe!
​
We understand that you want to see where our puppies are raised and how they are cared for. However, for the safety of our dogs, we do not allow visitors to walk through their areas. You may unknowingly carry Parvo on your shoes, and since it spreads rapidly and can be deadly within 48 hours, we must take every precaution. Unfortunately, we know of breeders who have lost entire litters to Parvo, and we are committed to preventing that from happening here. Additionally, we do not allow anyone to bring their dog to our home. Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep our puppies safe and healthy!
