Getting a puppy from Krys

Krys 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.

Krys 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.

“Puppy Matching Process At AmericanK9, our priority is placing each puppy in the home where they will thrive for a lifetime. While buyers are able to select their preferred color and sex, all final puppy placements are based on temperament. As professional trainers, we carefully evaluate each puppy as they develop, paying close attention to personality traits, energy level, confidence, and overall disposition. We then match those traits with each family’s lifestyle, experience level, and goals for their dog. This process takes the guesswork out of choosing a puppy and helps ensure a successful, long term fit for both the puppy and their new home. It is something we take great pride in, and it is a key part of what sets our program apart. Over the years, we have become very skilled at making these matches, and our goal is always the same: to create happy, balanced dogs and satisfied families.”
