Update: 3/9/2024

We are planning an OPEN HOUSE for Sunday, March 17th. We host Open Houses instead of individual appointments. Otherwise, our home becomes a revolving door given our location in the metro area.

The new OPEN HOUSE is:
Date: Sunday, March 17th
Time: 10:30 AM – 11:30AM

Alt: We added a 12-1PM session because of increased interest in the event.

We do still ask that you DM us and let us know number of people. We do have limited space because it will be hosted in our basement. We would move it outside if it is a +60F day.

I will respond back with availability. Priority will be given in the order of:
1. Families with deposits on the Dakota litter going to homes March 22nd.
2. Families who would like to see our operation and are considering putting down a deposit on a future puppy.
3. Families who like to spend time giving puppy snuggles and socializing our puppies.

Let us know what category you are in and # of people. We will respond back with availability. We only have one breeding female or male here. That happens to be Dakota – the mom to the 8 pups who are part of this Open House. The rest are housed with our co-owners and brought here when whelping litters.

Day of event, you can angle park on our front lawn. It is a 1 lane private drive in front of the home, so we don’t want to block in neighbors. Please text us on arrival, and we will come around to meet you and direct you to event location.
