Laura R.

Breeder of Pomeranians

  • Centralia, IL

Meet the breeder

I'm Laura R., the breeder behind Happy Paws located in Centralia, IL. ● Mommas give birth in my home with me present for assistance if needed. They receive vet check and x-ray prior to verify the number of puppies for a smooth delivery. ● All of my puppies are born and raised in my home, which ensures a safe, warm, clean environment. ● They are handled and played with by our family daily, which ensures they are well socialized and feel constant love. ● I require a 300.00 deposit to hold a puppy, and the balance is due at pick-up. Once this deposit is received, I will no longer advertise your puppy and will keep you up to date with pictures. ● Each puppy will come with a deluxe welcome package, including a blanket, a few toys, current food for an easy transition, and puppy pads. ● They will be up to date on shots, dewormed, vet checked, and all ready for their new homes after 8 wks old. ● Both parents have been Embark tested. Father is AKC and CKC registered, and mother is CKC registered. Full CKC rights available.
