My puppies have never been in a cage - they live in my home and are usually at my feet, and they should quickly adapt to your home and will probably always want to be with you.
You will find my puppies have unique temperaments because I spend ALL my time raising and training them and I frequently take them out to the park to take photos of them - sometimes for as many as 7 or 8 hours a day.
I don't think you will find any puppies anywhere that have had the huge variety of socialization experiences that I provide my pups. I train all my young "kids" to come instantly when I call and as you can tell from my many photos - my puppies stay right with me and are probably among the best trained dogs you will ever meet.
I spend many, many hours with each of my puppies and train them to be extremely polite and well-behaved. (One of the early training exercises I find useful is to sit in the middle of my puppies with a freshly cooked chicken and teach them that the only way they get any is if they sit quietly and look at me when I call their name. You would be amazed at how quickly they learn their names when tasty chicken is the reward.)
My puppies get all the love, attention, handling and very important socialization they require to become healthy, well adjusted members of your family.
As you can see by feedback in the Recommendations, (2), (3), (4) section of my website, my puppy buyers constantly tell me that my puppies are like NO other dog they have ever seen.
I have such a deep connection with my dogs that for 12 years I've been able to safely walk my (4 pound) adult dogs ANYWHERE - on ANY downtown street - WITHOUT LEASHES - and my dogs stay right with me.
I'd never suggest you try this with your pup if there is a car anywhere within a 100 yards of you, but I think you will find that much of my training will transfer over to you as the new owner and I've been told many times that my puppies almost magically respond to their new owners wishes.
Why are my puppies more expensive ?
My puppies are worth more than many of the other pups you will find elsewhere because because of the unique training and socialization I give them.
I begin introducing my puppies to the world when they are as young as 3 weeks old. I take them out tucked safely in my pockets (almost like a kangaroo) and my puppies get exposed to EVERYTHING.
I socialize my pups around children and other dogs, and I expose them to downtown city life such as elevators, taxis, the streetcar and the subway and everything they will later experience with you when they are adults, so that they will learn to adjust well and be comfortable in all situations.
My full-time job is socializing, raising and training my puppies to become incredibly well behaved. Believe it or not, I have very little trouble taking my adult dogs and many of the pups everywhere I go. They are, almost without exception, so well behaved that I can take them with me when I go shopping, to the mall, and even into restaurants.
You might be amazed that most of my puppies will sit perfectly quietly on a chair beside me in a restaurant (and go to sleep) while I eat. Now of course some people will disapprove of this, but my pups are usually better behaved than many children in these restaurants or stores.
All this exposure to many people and a great variety of situations makes my pups extremely unique in their comfort level around people and in situations that most dogs cannot handle.
I think this exceptional one-of-a-kind training adds a lot to their value.
(A friend of mine who liked my dogs and came out with me to the park all the time couldn't afford one of my dogs (sadly, she only earned minimum wage), so she bought the cheapest Pom puppy she could find - and then she kept asking me what was wrong with her dog. She wondered why her puppy wouldn't stay with her or sit on her lap or show her ANY affection at all. Sadly, she didn't understand the difference between puppy mill dogs and home-raised puppies.)
Because my puppies have been lovingly home raised, (with appropriate guidance and discipline), they usually have the best possible temperaments. Most of them are very friendly and will run up to you to greet you (especially if you talk to them). You may notice a huge difference in the attitudes of my puppies compared to those from a pet store, which, (you can almost be sure), came from a puppy mill.
Puppies have a "sensitive" developmental period when they are young, and if they don't have frequent positive contact with loving, gentle human "parents" when they are between 5 and 15 weeks of age then they will NEVER properly bond with people later in their lives. You can never completely overcome this deficit later in their life - no matter what you do.
Puppy Care Package
My puppies go home with you with a bag of very high quality Royal Canin puppy food, a stainless steel food bowl, stainless steel water bowl, some pee pads and a collar and leash, a neoprene doggie bag with a zipper, a coupon for a free bag of puppy food, and a coupon for $4.00 off a bag of puppy food, and a link to a free personalized dog tag. I also include some great treats and chewies.
Health Guarantee
My puppies come with a money back guarantee.
You may return your puppy to me for a refund within the first couple of days (minus a $100 fee for my time to meet with you to sell the pup and again for it's return - but that $100 can be applied towards the purchase of any other of my pups.)
Please take your puppy to the vet before you fall in love with it. I strongly recommend having your puppy examined by a vet in the first 48 hours. That way you won't be heart-broken if your puppy has a very rare condition such as heart trouble or other congenital defect. If, at this exam, the vet finds any genetic disease, or significant illness you may return the puppy for a refund.
If, on the rare occasion the puppy has minor conditions such as some diarrehea, fleas, or worms I will be happy to treat the puppy for you. I am not responsible for any veterinarian fees.
Taking care of your puppy
It is very important that you let your new puppy get enough water and rest. Teacup puppies only have enough stamina to play for about half hour (when they are 8 weeks old), and then they need to sleep.
If, during the first week that you have them, you carry them around with you for the WHOLE day without letting them have water every hour or two, or quiet time to sleep, then they can suffer dehydration, exhaustion or low blood sugar. These can be very serious conditions in a very small puppy.
I hope you enjoy my photos. I have spent a lot of time taking them.
I hope you take the opportunity to let one of my puppies give you as much joy as they have given me.
