Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are you a breeder?
No, we are not a breeder. There is no breeding done on the premises.
Rather, we represent the breeder. We call ourselves the foster home for the puppies.
So what happens is – the breeder focuses on stage 1 of the process which is quality breeding. We then focus on stage 2 of the process, just finding them all good new forever homes in a timely manner.
We are also with a more personal touch. We have 4 children and their job is to help keep the puppies socialized when they are here until they go to a new home. The puppies are transferred to us at 8-10 weeks of age according to Pa State Law.
We have both state and federal licenses to do what we do here. Pa State License #04448 and USDA License #23-B-0190
2. Are you a pet store?
You could call us that because we do have a good variety of accessories for you to choose from including collars, leashes, pet crates, and carriers, harnesses, bowls, cologne, toys, and pet beds.
We are more with a personal touch, we have 3 children to keep the puppies socialized when they are here until they go to a new home.
3. Are the parents of the puppies on the premises?
No, there are no breeding adults on the premises. These family raised puppies are well bred and well socialized with lots of TLC at the breeder’s house.
They are then transferred to us at 8-10 weeks of age where we will release them to their new owners after they have had a clear vet check.
When possible we will post pictures of the parents of the puppies on our site along with the picture of the puppies.
4. Are your puppies examined by a veterinarian?
Yes, we have our vet, Dr. Sath stop by every week to examine our puppies.
5. From where do you receive your puppies?
Our puppies are locally bred and raised with TLC by independent breeders from the mid-state area of Pa.
6. What is your adoption process?
We require on our USDA form; name, address, phone #, Driver’s License #, and signature. We will then provide you with a copy of that form along with a health record, health guarantee, vet certification, registration papers (if applicable), and receipt for your purchase.
We will also provide you with excellent printouts which will explain the housetraining process and other pertinent information.
7. Are your puppies housetrained?
No, we do not do the housetraining here. The reason for that is for the new owner’s benefit.
This way the new owner can start from #1 with the puppy and it will not cause confusion.
However, we do provide you with multiple document printouts which will explain more about the crate and housetraining processes. It doesn’t have to be hard; patience, consistency, and
commitment are the key. We do recommend using a crate when housetraining, which is a great
tool to be used, but, it is totally your choice!
8. How does you shipping and delivery work?
We can deliver your puppy to your doorstep within an approx. 4-hour radius of our location.
In order to receive a price quote for shipping, call the number that is on the puppy listing.
9. What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or Paypal. Our financing option is through Paypal Credit.
10. How does your financing work?
Financing is offered through Paypal Credit. It is 6 month with 0% interest and 0 payments for qualified buyers.
If you do not have a Paypal account just go to paypal.com and set up a new account. You can then apply for the financing.
To make a purchase with us go back to our home page on our site and click on the caption “Financing Available for Qualified Buyers.” You will then be prompted to enter the name of the puppy you are purchasing and the amount that you wish to finance.
Please call the number on the puppy listing to get the correct total. You will then have to enter all the necessary information to complete the process.
If you are approved for the financing you may then submit the payment to us either before you pick up your puppy or at the time of your pickup. If you are not approved , your other options are cash or credit card.
11. Do we have the option of buying the food ?
Yes, absolutely! We do strongly recommend that you keep your new friend on the same kind of food that it is used to eating for at least 15-20 days, then do the transition to another food gradually if you wish to change the food.
If you don’t change the food gradually your puppy will likely suffer from diarrhea and/or vomiting.
12. May we come see the puppies?
That depends on their age. If they have been transferred to us already you are welcome to come see them before making a commitment.
But, if they are still with the mother at the breeder’s location, and we have pictures posted on the website, we accept deposits based on the photos to hold the puppy of your choice. You can then pickup your puppy on the release date posted or within 2 weeks thereafter.
13. How much should I deposit to hold a puppy?
A minimum of $300 deposit which will go toward the purchase will tell us that you are serious.
The way you do this deposit is by calling the number on the puppy listing and paying with a credit/debit card over the phone or by going to the puppy listing and submit the deposit through Paypal.
Make sure that you call us to confirm that you have placed a deposit so we can mark the puppy sold on the site, otherwise , someone else may have chosen your puppy in the meantime and you will lose your opportunity to purchase it.
14. Is the deposit refundable?
Your deposit is refundable if your puppy would be found unfit for sale by our veterinarian.
However, for any other reason that may cause you to change your mind, your deposit is non-refundable.
15. Are there additional charges in addition to the list price on the website?
Yes, since we have both state and federal licenses to operate here in PA, we are treated as a business and have to charge a 6% PA Sales Tax according to the Commonwealth of PA.
