*The price of one of our puppies is typically $1500.00.
Why?
Our dams are carefully matched to qualified studs to
produce beautiful puppies of wonderful temperament,
health and conformation. This means we often ship our
bitches to the stud dogs which involves much expense on
our part but makes all the difference in the puppies we
produce.
We do all the appropriate medical testing before we even
think of breeding our Beagles.
Our puppies are part of our family and raised in the
home where they are well socialized to new sights and
sounds. We generally place our puppies at about 8 weeks
of age after they have received their initial shots and
worming. A puppy packet is provided for each of our
puppies including health history, five generation
pedigree, care and feeding information, housebreaking
and obedience tips.
Prospective families should be aware that most puppies
will have homes before they are even born and that being
placed on a waiting list is not uncommon. We reserve the
right to pick of the litter and preference will be given
to placing show quality puppies in show homes, however,
our primary goal is to ensure a safe and loving home for
each of our puppies for the rest of their lives.
Our Puppy Placement Procedure
Our pups are sold to Approved Homes only. All puppies
sold as "pets" should be spayed or neutered around one
year of age. If at any time you cannot keep your Beagle
you must agree to return the dog to us. Our interest in
a new buyer does not end with the sale of the puppy. We
try to keep in touch with our new puppy owners and we
will continue to help you with any questions or problems
you may encounter with your puppy or adult. Our interest
lasts for the life of the dog.
Some more things you should know before contacting us to
inquire about buying a puppy...
Puppies BITE and it hurts. Pups need to be taught many
manners in the first year of their life and they will do
all kinds of annoying, destructive behaviors. This is a
crucial period for canines and we require all new owners
to take their puppies to Puppy Kindergarten and Basic
Obedience classes. This will teach you the correct way
to train and handle your puppy for life. The first year
is hard work, thank goodness puppies are so darn cute!
They are not wonderful with little children until they
are 6 months of age or more and past the teething,
nipping, crazy puppy stage. Young children always need
to be supervised around animals, period.
We do not sell pups to brokers, pet stores or chains.
If after we have met or spoken with you and it is agreed
you will provide a loving home for a puppy and you wish
to reserve a puppy from us, we require a reservation
fee. This fee places your name on one of our waiting
lists. Should the litter not produce a pup that is a
match in temperament for your family, it will be
necessary for you to wait for one of our up-coming
litters. We will do our best to provide you with your
choice of puppy as soon as possible after your
reservation fee is received. Having said this, we prefer
not to place our puppies on a "first come, first serve"
basis. We look at each family's lifestyle, their needs,
the potential home environment and each individual pups
needs and personality and make the best match between
the two. The balance of the purchase price of the puppy
is due before the puppy leaves our home.
Whether you are just considering a beagle or know it's
the breed for you, we welcome your questions about
beagles and about our dogs. If you are interested in one
