Meet the breeder

I'm Shaffer Top Notch Puppies S., the breeder behind Shaffer Top Notch Puppies located in Preston, ID. Dogs have always been part of my life, as a kid my pets were my baby dolls, they got dressed up and strolled around. When we got married and got our first dog, we were instantly in love, with our first baby. We have made it our mission to bring healthy, happy puppies into the lives of other’s.

Q. & A. with Shaffer Top Notch Puppies

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We both had pets growing up and have always had a deep love for them. When we got married we bought two Labs and started raising and training them 5 years after we were married. When our kids got a little older they each were able to get a dog and learned how to take care of, and help raise and train their own puppies. They learned it is hard work to raise puppies, but also very rewarding.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our breeding program is special, it is a way of life for us. We LOVE our dogs and take pride in producing puppies that have hands on training starting at day three. We start potty training at 3 weeks. I love flying them all over and delivering them to family’s that I know will love them almost as much as me :) We live in a small town out on 18 acres of land where our dogs have room to run and play and really live the best life possible.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Cockapoo puppies are mini size. Cavapoo puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Cockapoo puppies include red, cream, and red and white. Cavapoo puppies include cream, red, and apricot. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    I highly recommend Teresa and Shaffer Top Notch Puppies! Teresa is honest and kind, and highly knowledgeable. She takes the time to thoughtfully answer questions, and we know that Winnie (Lady) had the best home to be nurtured and trained in even in her first few weeks of life. When she came home, Winnie took to potty training so fast, something Teresa fostered with pellet training. She also knew how to be attentive and sit, and crate training was a breeze. I can tell her parents are both wonderful dogs - she is loving, gentle, and too smart for her own good! Our vet says she is 100% a healthy and happy pup! We are so grateful for Teresa, she gave us the most joyful gift in Winnie!

    Teresa was wonderful to work with from start to finish. She responded quickly to all of my questions and clearly knows her puppies inside and out. She was flexible and accommodating with our pickup time, which made the process so easy. Her home is clean, welcoming, and truly set up for puppies to thrive and get the best possible start. We couldn’t be happier with our sweet little Cavapoo and are so grateful to Teresa for such a positive experience. Highly recommend!

    My experience with Shaffer Top Notch Puppies was great! They were very flexible and willing to work with me when it came to pick-up location and timing, which I really appreciated. I could tell they were very knowledgeable and passionate about raising their puppies. I overall felt very confident getting my pup from them. Teddy (Boris) is healthy and so playful, he brings a lot of joy into our home. I am really happy with the experience!

    Teresa was amazing. Great communication and sent photos and videos on request. Followed up with us to make sure all was going well. We are so happy with our little Dash.

    We had a wonderful experience working with Teresa when welcoming home our sweet Fleetfoot Mac (Willow). She was incredibly helpful throughout the entire consideration process - even taking the time to schedule a FaceTime call so we could meet our pup beforehand and ask all our (many!) questions. Mac arrived healthy, happy, and already microchipped, which gave us so much peace of mind. We did have a small scheduling mishap along the way, but it was partly on our end and Teresa was gracious and patient as we got things sorted out. Most importantly, Mac is everything we hoped for and more - SO SMART, loving, kind, and such a joy to our family. We’re so in love we’ve already joked that we might need another one from Teresa here soon. We’re truly grateful for the experience and highly recommend this breeder.
