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.

Sara was very responsive and made the whole puppy buying process smooth and efficient. She would send regular updated pictures of our puppy and even after picking him still regularly checks on him. I am so thankful to have found her and our dog through this site. I highly recommend Sara to anyone who is in search of a new fur baby to add to their family!

+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!
