Our puppies are not budget friendly, because we donāt raise them on a budget.
And I get messages all the time saying my puppies are out of budget, or asking if my price is negotiable, or people just being rude.
Im just going to be upfront, Iāll never lower my prices, or standards to meet yours.
Because the quality, the time, the intention, the heart that goes into these puppies thatās not something I can bargain with.
These are living, breathing little souls.
Not a product or sale item.
If anything, Iād be concerned if a puppy was cheap.
And I see it all the time in Facebook groups.
āLooking for a Goldendoodle under $1,000.ā
And I just bite my tongueā¦.
What I want to say is
puppies donāt just end up that cheap without something being sacrificed along the way.
Less time.
Less care.
Less exposure.
Less health testing.
Less intention.
And those ālessesāā¦ donāt always show up right away.
Sometimes they show up later,
when your puppy is terrified of everything.
When grooming is a fight.
When they canāt settle in your home.
When health issues pop up that couldāve been prevented.
Thatās the part people donāt think about in the moment.
But I donāt say all that because people take offense, and I understand that. Nobody wants to feel judged for what they can afford.
So I just hush my mouth and let people learn over time.
But if youāre here reading this, I want you to understand it from me,
There are no corners cut here.
Not in health, not in how theyāre raised, not in what goes into them from the very beginning.
That lifetime health guarantee I offer thatās not just something that sounds nice.
I offer it because I truly stand behind what Iām producing and the work that goes into it.
From day one, these babies are raised with intention.
Theyāre handled daily, exposed to real life different sounds, grooming, car rides, new environmentsā¦ all the little things that turn into big things later.
Because Iām not just raising cute puppies.
Iām raising dogs you have to live with.
Dogs that need to be confident, stable, and easy to bring into your everyday life.
Theyāre raised right here in my home, part of my routine, under my feet not off somewhere being āchecked on.ā
You can absolutely find a cheaper puppy.
Craigslist, PuppyFinder, Puppies.com, Facebook groups, even sheltersā¦ theyāre everywhere.
But most of the time, if itās cheaperā¦ something, somewhere, was skipped.
And Iāll say this, price alone doesnāt mean quality either. There are breeders charging the same or more than us but doing the bare minimum. We are definitely not the most expensive, because we want people to be able to afford our puppies, but we aren't anywhere near the most expensive either.
So donāt just look at the price look at the program.
Ask questions.
Ask about health testing.
Ask how theyāre raised.
Ask yourself if those puppies look confidentā¦ or unsure.
Trust your gut.
I renently sent a video to a potential family, and they kept saying how impressed they were seeing fully health tested parents (Embark + OFA), watching the puppies move confidently around, how social and comfortable they already were.
And to meā¦ thatās just normal.
Puppies should be wagging their tails, playing, curious, and happy.
They told me they had talked to other breeders, and those puppies werenāt like mine they were shy, unsure, not engagingā¦ and there was no health testing.
And that right there is exactly why I wonāt lower my standards to meet a cheaper price point.
Because how we raise our puppies has value.
And this isnāt just buying a puppy
This is 10ā15 years of your life.
Your routines. Your home. Your family.
What you choose in the beginning you live with later. I think that is why people keep coming back, for a second or even a third puppy from us.
What goes into these puppies adds up quickly, the best food, health
testing, reproductive care, vet visits, grooming exposure, curriculum, suppliesā¦ and the time, energy, and consistency it takes to do it right.
And then being there for my families long after pickup day.
Itās a lot.
But it matters.
Weāre not a large scale breeder.
Weāre not a puppy store.
Weāre a small, program raising these puppies and pouring love into them every single day.
And Iām so grateful for the families who see that, value that, and trust us with something so important.
Because at the end of the dayā¦
This isnāt just a purchase, it is adding a new family member.
Itās the best investment youāll ever make.
