PUPPIES
Terra-Blue puppies are raised in our homes and are given daily socialization, experiencing a variety of situations appropriate to their ages, from birth until they leave. We invest a tremendous amount of time into our puppies to ensure that they will be well rounded individuals. They are raised on a holistic diet (combination raw & dog food), receive the appropriate health preventatives for their age, are eye checked clear (by a certified canine ophthalmologist), and receive a vet check before going to their new homes. We use limited core vaccinations on our dogs and puppies. All of our dogs/puppies are eligible for both AKC & ASCA registration.
In placing puppies we determine each individual puppy's placement according to that specific puppy's personality, and by the role it will play within its new family. Because, as breeders, we feel it is very important to place each puppy in the right home, we carefully evaluate each puppy's temperament as it is growing up in order to make this determination.
We do not allow buyers to choose what puppy they would like from the litter, since this would often result in a poor match between dog and owner. It is our goal for the dog to have a happy, lifetime home with equally happy owners, and we have been very sucessful using our experience to match up puppies and owners.
While buyers may choose to
limit what sex and color puppy they would like to have,
we do not
encourage this. Buyers who do so must be aware that this will limit their
chances of getting a puppy from a specific litter, since the puppy of that
color and sex in the litter may not be the best match for them. (FYI... the
differences between a male and a female that will be neutered or spayed is
minimal. Both make excellent pets.)
Please understand that the careful breeding of puppies on a limited basis is not a made-to-order business in regards to color, sex, temperament or quality (show or pet).
In matching puppies with owners, we try to be as expedient as possible in the decision making process, but we do not make final decisions until 6-8 weeks of age when overall temperament, structure and movement can be clearly evaluated.
ADULTS
We may also occasionally offer adults for sale. These dogs are usually retired show dogs or dogs that we grew up that didn't make the cut for the show ring. All of these dogs are well socialized, house broken, and up to date on all health checks.
