Getting a puppy from Michelle
Michelle 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.
After buyers complete the application and screening process, Michelle partners with them to find the best puppy match.
“We may ask you about your life and speak with you over video chat. Often times we find that we see little personality traits in the puppies that only we can see because we are around them all the time and will suggest the best puppy to fit you. We know our puppies better than anyone else and want you to have the best adoption prosses possible. You should never buy a puppy just because of looks, personality and compatibility is very important. ”
Price
“The price includes a health certificate, first set of shots, a microchip, and a go home bag. All Deposit funds go to the health and care of the puppies. We often times save it for emergencies this is why we don't do refunds. You may switch to another puppy once or wait for another litter.”
Contract & health guarantee
Michelle may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Michelle offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Michelle directly.

Litter and program updates
Michelle F.
Litter update on 19 Oct •…Hey everybody, I understand that there is a problem with the vet declining the prescription. I am trying vet currently, but until then there may be a few reasons why they’re being declined. Whenever you’re sending in the medication, please send it in as “Nala Puppy” and then whatever number was assigned by the vet. They did not do a good job and recording their names and only know them by their number. In other information if it still doesn’t work my prescription went through. I may be able to get you also that prescription through my account.

Litter update on 19 Oct •…The droncit plus on chewy was approved. I was not able to list there dosage since it was approved under Nala. These are the puppies dosages: Pup 1 through 4 will get 1.5 tablets and Pups 5 and 6 get 2 tablets. This will be a 1 times dosage for all of the puppies for the hookworms. - Lauren Nala Pup 1 Female (Yellow) Paprika Nala Pup 2 Female (Pink) Rosemary Nala Pup 3 Female (Purple) Sage Nala Pup 4 Female (White) Pepper Nala Pup 5 Male (Blue) Turmeric Nala Pup 6 Male (Green) Parsley

Litter update on 07 Oct •…This is the note from the vet if you want the direct labs, please send me your phone number to text you because I can’t send it through Good Dog. Regarding the "Antigen" being positive, this is looking for specific proteins released by adult parasites living inside a pet's intestinal tract, so essentially it’s testing for adult parasites. The eggs are the physical offspring produced by those adult worm. The antigen test also can help detect infections before the adult parasites start producing eggs, so this is why you might see an Antigen being positive without any eggs present, such as for puppy 3. Puppy 1) Hookworm Antigen + Hookworm eggs(3-10/hpf) Puppy 2) - Hookworm Antigen + Hookworm eggs(1-2/hpf) Puppy 3) - Roundworm Antigen + Hookworm Antigen + Hookworm eggs(11-30/hpf) Puppy 4) - Hookworm Antigen + Hookworm eggs(>30/hpf) Puppy 5) - Hookworm Antigen + Hookworm eggs(1-2/hpf) Puppy 6) - Giardia Antigen + Giargia Eggs (11-30/hpf) Hookworm Antigen + Hookworm eggs(11-30/hpf)

Litter update on 06 Oct •…Hi everybody I have some bad news. Some of the puppies have hookworms despite our best efforts. The vet told me recently in this area they have been seeing a lot of parasites that are resistant to the most common dewormers and at the vet appointment tomorrow we will be discussing an alternative medication. Unfortunately, this means that Puppy pick up will be delayed for about a week. I will be posting the vet information from this test when I receive it through email from the vet. I am very sorry that the puppies going home will be delayed. But please know that we have done everything in our power to get them parasite free, but we are dealing with very resilient parasites. The pups are getting extra iron and vitamins put in their food keep them healthy while we deal with this major issue.
