Meet the breeder

I'm Lara R., the breeder behind Laraz Pupz located in Wilkes Barre, PA. We find so much fulfillment in providing that same companionship to other homes! Our hope is to prepare each of our puppies with thoughtful socialization so they have the best foundation to seamlessly transition into their new homes. We spend lots of hours socializing and training our dogs.

Q. & A. with Lara

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When I was a kid, my next door neighbor would allow me to play with his dogs, walk them and feed them. I fell in love with the breed when I was 10. And love was mutual and it grew into something bigger over all those years.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Good level

Laraz Pupz reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Italian Greyhounds.

  • Hip Dysplasia (rDVM, not registered)

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

    Lara was very responsive and accommodating with me! It was my first time buying a dog for myself, and I had my apprehensions and concerns but she answered all my questions, provided video of the dog, and made the drive to meet me half-way to pick up our new baby Remy (formerly Cookie). She provided dog food and all the necessary paperwork. He has been a great addition to the family and is a healthy happy boy!

    Lara was very easy to work with and was flexible with pick up time since I had a far drive. Even provided a small bag of food and puppy pad for the ride back. Very easy and quick transaction & Tony now renamed Philly is such a perfect baby boy.
