We reserve the right to refuse to sell one of our puppies to anyone!
We DO NOT sell to pet shops, large kennel breeders, puppy brokers or puppy mills.
Please, be ready and willing to prove who you are and where you live.

California Code SB 914 ~ Effective Jan. 1,2006, makes it a crime to sell and transfer a dog less than 8 weeks of age to a purchaser unless
there is written authorization from a veterinarian. We don't feel it is safe for the pups to leave until they are over 8 to 12 weeks old.
Depending on size, some larger puppies can go to new homes sooner then smaller ones.

If you are interested in one of our puppies please feel free to contact us via email or phone. We welcome visits from all
interested parties. Please call for an appointment if you see a puppy you would like to meet.

understanding of the benefits which
dogs can bring to Canadian society.

"Rascal" now living in Lincoln, Ca.
The American Kennel Club (AKC) which has been around well over a century now, holds the stud books on
over 150 breeds of dogs. For years there was no other choice, if you wanted a purebred dog with papers
the AKC was it. The AKC implemented a DNA program and made DNA for all frequently used sires
mandatory. The DNA testing proves if a sire was the father of a litter (or puppy) or not. The cost to DNA
stud males is $40.00.
It seems about the same time AKC began mandatory DNA testing is when many of these "Alternate"
registries began popping up. Some examples are American Pet Registry Incorporated (APRI) and the
Continental Kennel Club (CKC) (should not be confused with the Canadian Kennel Club, also CKC, which is
the Canadian equivalent of the AKC). The CKC(Continental) doesn't charge anything to register a litter of
puppies, and APRI charges about half of what AKC charges. The AKC charges $25.00 plus $2.00 per puppy
(a litter of four Chihuahuas is $33.00). You'll see breeders saying that's why they left the AKC and went
with an alternate registry.
The AKC not only has DNA testing, they have inspections for breeders who breed over seven litters a year,
they sponsor dog shows and many other dog related events. All breeders registering with AKC must follow
their rules.  One of the rules is AKC breeders are not allowed to sell to a broker (pet stores) or in litter lots.
If you break this rule the AKC will pull your right to register for one year up to life depending on the severity
of your offense, just as they will if you maintain poor record keeping, fail to properly identify your breeding
dogs, if your dogs are in poor physical condition or if your dogs live in dirty housing. In this country the AKC
is the best any good breeder has, it's not an easy registry. By comparison the other "alternate" registries
have no inspectors, no DNA, some have no fee's, and no sponsored dog shows and your not required to
provide proof of your dog's breed to register your dog with many of them.
With all the different dog registries popping up eager to register anything with four legs,
it can be very confusing to the average person seeking a nice puppy, because many
people have no idea just how badly they are being fooled into thinking they've bought a
registered purebred dog. Often they have, but not always.
