Q. & A. with Chuck & Dawn

  • Why did you start breeding?

    After we had Sadie and saw what a wonderful, loving dog she is, we just wanted to help others find a perfect dog. We talked to our breeder we got her and Lizzie from and she has mentored us. We have had 11 successful Litters and all our families LOVE their puppies!

  • What makes your program special?

    First of all, our Dogs make our program special! They are wonderful, loving, sweet, obedient and beautiful. After our dogs is, the time and effort we put into our program. We do Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) Program starting Day 3-17. We also expose them to different sensory experiences. We have them about 80% potty trained before going home and we expose them to crate training. We make sure they are well socialized. We have lots of adults and children come and hold them, play with them and give them love. Our puppies go home microchipped and a puppy bag with a blanket with mama scent, food for 5 days and a folder with vet health check.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include medium and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include cream, apricot, black, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    We really enjoyed working with Chuck and Dawn to help us select a puppy. They were knowledgeable about the breed, friendly, and even invited us to come see our chosen puppy (before adoption) when we happened to be in the area. They gave us online access to their "puppy-cam" so we could see our puppy's growth over those first few weeks. They were very accommodating and we not hesitate to recommend or go back to them should we decide to adopt a second puppy! Thank you guys so much!

    I have always wanted to have a dog and never had one growing up. I would always tell my husband that is the first thing we have to do when we get married. We got married three months ago and I wouldn’t stop nagging him. Today he told me we had plans and I was confused as to why we were going to the airport. And then I saw Chuck across the street and the cutest thing in a carrier next to him and I just knew. We automatically clicked and I am completely in love with her. She’s the perfect addition to our family. Thank you for everything!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can’t say enough good things about Chuck and Dawn! We recently brought Ruxpin home, and he is an absolute dream. He has such a sweet temperament and is already doing amazing with his potty training. The whole process was seamless. Chuck and Dawn are incredibly professional and easy to work with. We loved the constant communication, photos, and especially the puppy cam access before he came home. They provided a thorough vet workup (shots, microchip, genetic history), and payment was hassle-free through the Good Dog portal. They took the stress out of everything, making the logistics totally a breeze so we could focus on the excitement. It’s clear they don’t just breed dogs; they raise family members. Two thumbs (and four paws) up. Seriously, stop scrolling and just message them!

    Chuck and Dawn were very easy to deal with. They responded quickly and were helpful with each step. They had a puppy cam available to watch the litter thru the weeks before I could pick up my new girl.
