Getting a puppy from Alicia

Alicia 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.

Alicia 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 6 weeks old.

"Placing each puppy in the right home is one of the most important parts of my breeding program. My highest priority is ensuring that every puppy is matched with a family that is truly suited to their individual personality, energy level, and temperament. The last thing I ever want is for a puppy or family to be unhappy, or for a puppy to be moved from home to home because the match wasn't right. I carefully observe and assess each puppy's unique traits and disposition. This evaluation process allows me to understand who they are as individuals so I can thoughtfully match them with the family that will best meet their needs and complement their lifestyle. For the long-term happiness and success of both my puppies and their future families, I do not assign puppies until they are old enough for accurate temperament assessment. This ensures that every placement is intentional, responsible, and made with the puppy's lifelong wellbeing in mind. "

    Alicia is an AMAZING breeder! It’s hard to describe her a a breeder though since that sounds so transactional. You can tell how much care and effort she puts into her pups and its shows! She loves her dogs and I think that in turn makes for a very happy and healthy puppy!! She was very communicative and thoughtful throughout the whole process.

    Alicia is the best. She was very quick to respond. I asked a lot of questions about the process and after we brought Peanut home. She was quick to answer, always polite and helpful. She was very invested in both Peanut and our family having a happy and healthy transition to bringing Peanut home. The purchase was easy and Alicia was easy to work with. We first contacted her about Peanut (orginally Amber) right after Christmas. We quickly made arrangements for us to meet Peanut and due to our proximity, Alicia worked with us to meet the puppy in person. This was very important to us because our youngest son had been apprehensive about getting a dog. After we made the arrangements to bring Peanut home, Alicia was good about working on setting up a timeline that was healthy for peanut and worked for us. She really prioritized the health, safety and wellbeing of the puppy which just told us that we were getting a puppy from a loving home. I can't say enough wonderful things about our new puppy. She has the sweetest temperament and personality. She was already on her way to being potty trained when we got her home which was a delightful surprise. We have been so happy and she has been such an amazing part of our family and grateful.
