All our puppies have had three sets of DHLPP with Corona, the last one given within 2-3 days of the transport, this should protect them (there is never a 100% guarantee) from Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parvo, Parainfluenza and Coronavirus, but they need two more boosters within the next 6 weeks, they have had a Bordetella vaccine to protect from Kennel Cough, but this does not prevent all strains of kennel cough any more than our flu vaccine protects against every strain of the flu- these puppies may never have been in a shelter, but if they were, they have been out of it for over 5-6 weeks.

Please understand that puppies can often be very stressed from their transport and their change in living conditions, which can compromise their immune system and between the stress and the compromised immune system, it is very common for them to get Coccidia. This is an internal parasite that can only be treated, never cured (ALL dogs in the world have this, but it lies dormant until stress triggers the parasite to multiply- easily treated).

Another factor for puppies coming from the south to the north is climate change, again the stress from their transport and their change in living conditions, which can compromise their immune system, can lead to an Upper Respiratory Infection- again easily treated, but needs to be treated as soon as you notice a cough, sneeze, yucky eyes or a runny nose.

What is the true secret of our dog's beauty?

"The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog.

A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness.

He will sleep on the cold ground where the winter winds blow, and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side.

He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the sores and wounds that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his Pauper master as if he were a prince".

The true beauty of a dog comes from the inside out. It is their incredible ability to give unconditional love, regardless of whether or not they are pure bred or in perfect physical condition!

How Our Puppies/Dogs Travel!

We have a private, paid ground transport every 4 weeks, with our puppies only on the transport, so that we keep the puppies long enough to have had, at least, three sets of puppy vaccines and will only require one to two more plus a rabies vaccine when they arrive to their new family, some of the puppies will have had 4 sets of vaccines and their rabies before arriving if they are old enough.
