Getting a puppy from Brittany
Brittany 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.
Brittany 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.
“Our goal is to match each puppy with the family that best fits their personality, activity level, and lifestyle. While we consider color, markings, and gender preferences, temperament and compatibility are our highest priorities. Puppies are reserved in the order deposits are received. Families select their puppy once temperament evaluations have been completed (typically around 6 weeks of age). Selection order is based on the order deposits are received. We provide guidance and recommendations to help each family choose the puppy that best matches their home and lifestyle. If the right match is not available in the current litter, buyers may transfer their deposit to a future litter. Our commitment is to place every puppy in a loving home where they will thrive for a lifetime.”
Price
“Pricing includes health guarante, veterinary checkups, current vaccinations, deworming, and a puppy starter kit. Non refundable deposit secures your place in selection order. Upon selection we will start using your selected puppy name and send regular updates.”

About Zoe
Zoe is a fun and energetic dog who enjoys spending her time with her person (our 13 year old daughter). She is very playful and gets along with everyone. She is doing great as a first time mom even with having such a large litter.
