How we raise

What we do, what we publish and what we decline, written down so you can hold us to it.

Life at home

Our dogs live in the house with the family. They sleep indoors, go out every day and spend their days with people. When puppies come, they will be raised in the same rooms.

How records work

  • Every record has a date and a sourceWho recorded it, and when. No undated claims.
  • Health results name the laboratoryThe test, the result, the laboratory and the date, as written on the report.
  • What hasn’t happened is marked as nextA test not yet done says so. We don’t fill the gap with promises.
  • Nothing without a recordIf we can’t show it, we don’t say it.

How placement works

Puppies are placed by application only. We never list puppies for sale, and we only place a puppy with a family we have talked to and matched. Our placement terms will be published here before the first litter.

Apply to the early list

Families we decline

We respectfully decline applications for:

  • Reselling, or breeding for sale
  • A surprise gift, when the new owner doesn’t know
  • Renters without written permission to keep a dog
  • Homes where the dog would be alone more than eight hours a day
  • A dog wanted mainly as a status symbol
  • Families who would rather not have a video call with us
We would rather decline than place a puppy in the wrong home.
