When can we pick up our puppy?
- Usually at 8 weeks of age. Florida law, and ethical breeding, demands the pups stay with the mother and littermates until the age of 8 weeks, so please do not ask us to release a puppy before this. On rare occasions, the puppies may have need to stay with the breeder for an additional amount of time. We reserve the right to delay delivery if we feel it is in your pet's best interest to remain with us. An example for this could be parasites (worms), which are very common for puppies, especially in warm climates such as ours. We worm all puppies preventatively and this works 99% of the time, but that 1% does pop up every now and then.
- Pups that have ears cropped (Cane Corsos) prior to going home, may need to stay an additional week or even more, depending on how the healing process goes. As with humans, each puppy can heal differently. We do NOT guarantee the final outcome of ear cropping for this reason. We will however, help you along the way, with your puppy's cropped ears! Check out our Useful Links page for great videos on posting and taping your puppies cropped ears.

What makes our puppies different?

POTTY TRAINING

We start our puppies on potty pan training at 3 weeks old!!! Sounds crazy right? It really does work and teaches our puppies the idea of "There's a place to go and places not to go". Check out our YouTube channel to see videos of our puppies from the beginning of potty training to being darn near completely accident free by the time they go home!

CRATE TRAINING

Puppies are introduced to a crate at around 5-6 weeks of age. We add the crate with doors open for the litter to explore and by the time they go home they are much more comfortable being crated for a short period. Our goal isn't how long they will crate quietly for, it is that they are calm and relaxed while they are in a crate. This makes those first few nights at home so much easier on you and the puppy!

RAW FED

Our pups are RAW fed and get all kinds of new foods to try. This creates puppies that love to try new foods and really helps avoid those picky eaters. Blueberries, raw eggs, yogurt, pumpkin, carrots are all great toppers to the raw beef and chicken mix they love so much!

PUPPY PRESCHOOL

Our puppies are raised with advanced curriculum! This curriculum focuses on laying a strong foundation of trust and all of those things that make a smooth and successful transition to their new homes. These daily exercises create confident puppies that make a great addition to many families.

We believe our puppies make a difference in many lives and we do everything we can to be sure that difference is nothing short of amazing!
