Getting a puppy from Denise
Denise has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
Denise 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.
"Buyers must fill out an application describing their living situation, activity level and work schedules. Puppies are paired off of their temperament and energy level. If a buyer is looking for a Service Dog prospect, they will only be paired with a puppy that has shown certain traits during the assessment."
Price
"Price includes Puppy vet check, deworming at eight weeks. For Labradors, it also includes AKC registration and micro chipping. All puppies are priced determined on breed."
Contract & health guarantee
Denise may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Denise offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Denise directly.
