Getting a puppy from Annabelle

Annabelle has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Annabelle partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 7 weeks old.

“We begin matching puppies at 7 weeks once their personalities start to show. We take the time to get to know each puppy’s temperament to help match them with the right home. Families are able to choose based on availability, order of deposits, and what best fits their lifestyle. Our goal is to make sure every puppy goes to a loving home that’s a good match for them.”

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and between $1,500 - $2,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“Each puppy goes home with their first set of vaccines, two pee pads, and two cans of starter food. Puppies are raised in our home with daily socialization and care to ensure a healthy, well-adjusted transition to their new family. . The deposit is $500.00 that goes towards the total amount of the puppy.”

Annabelle may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy.

    Annabelle is nice and very professional. Purchasing Puppy Girl 1 was pretty easy. She was so tiny so at first I was concerned. It took forever to find a name for her. But her name is Luna. She's still tiny but full of energy. She weighs about 2.3 lbs but she barks like a big dog. Everyone who sees her doesn't realize she's a pup because of her beautiful chocolate color and you can't see her eyes. She is a treasure but needs a lot more training.
