Meet the breeder
I'm SARA, the breeder behind Paw Prints located in Richmond, VA. Our puppies are family to us. Their well-being is most important, while they live with us and after going to their new families. Our puppies are typically ready for their new families by 8 weeks of age, however, should we feel they would benefit from a little more time with mom we will keep them until we decide it's safe for them to transition into a new home. All puppies are on a regular deworming schedule starting at two weeks of age, receive age appropriate vaccines and are vet checked before leaving us. If, for any reason, a puppy needs to be rehomed after going to their new home, we ask that the puppy be returned to us.

Litter update on 13 July •…Sage is due around July 15, 2025. Something I love to do is listen to those tiny heartbeats! I’ve been listening to them for the past few weeks. It “sounds” like she’ll be having 3. Soon we’ll know for sure! 🥰 (If you watch closely at the end once I take the Doppler away, you’ll see the puppies moving.)

+4Our pups are 6 months old now, and I can’t say enough good things about Sara and Paw Prints. She was always available to answer questions, and sent us pictures before we picked up Seamus and Maddie. After we got them, she stayed in touch and continued to support us during those first few months. They even had “sleep away camp” with her while we went on vacation. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a mini doxie! Thanks Sara!
