Getting a puppy from Heather

Heather 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.

Heather partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 6 weeks old.

“We normally advertise our puppies much later than most as we like to temperament test them and observe their personalities to make sure we fit them with the right homes and your lifestyle. Therefore, you won’t see most of our pups advertised until the 6-7 week mark. If you’re looking at any puppies before that age there’s no way to know anything about their personality yet. We do like to personally talk on the phone with any new families to let them know a little more about the pup and what is all involved in raising one and give you all the insight we can on their breed and what to expect.”

Price

Puppy prices include a $350 non-refundable deposit and between $1,450 - $2,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“Price includes a detailed portfolio of each puppy's medical chart, parents' genetic health testing, 30 day health insurance, and microchip.”

    Well, when I first got on Good Dog I had a bad experience with the first breeder I decided to move forward with. It was a great first few messages, a great looking pup, and then I signed a contract, made a deposit, and then went a couple weeks with no contact. I then message multiple times and finally received a message about how they actually didn't want to relinquish the puppy because they feel the puppy wasn't doing well. I replied saying I respect that decision but was wondering what was wrong and if they had other puppies in the liter to which I received no reply... Insert Heather and Triple S Farms. From day one, Heather was super responsive and kind enough to give her opinion of which puppy seemed to fit what I'm looking for. That already gave me a great sense of confidence. All my questions were answered, supplemental information was sent when requested, and I new I found a good breeder who would help me along the way--even after transacting. Couldn't recommend Heather and her husband enough. You don't want to mess around with finding your furry little friend. Triple S Farms is a great option:)

    Heather was absolutely amazing! She was very responsive and knowledgeable about the breed. We adopted Storm, and decided to keep her given name as it fit her perfectly. Something I love about Heather’s breeding practices is that she takes time. She takes the time with every individual puppy. We recently had a baby and had some concerns with getting a puppy, and Heather made the entire process so easy. When we got Storm she was already incredibly comfortable with her paws touched, her face messed with, her ears pulled, and everything I’ve had to get my previous puppies used to. More than anything, Heather loves her puppies. And it continues to show the longer Storm is with us. Thank you again Heather!
