We don’t allow visitors to see our puppies until they’re ready to go to their new homes. Puppies are very delicate, and even a virus brought in on clothes or shoes could make them seriously sick — and that’s a risk we aren’t willing to take. Their health and safety are always our top priority.

What virus can people bring puppy on clothes or shoes?

The big one you need to worry about is Canine Parvovirus (often called parvo).

🦠 Why parvo is such a concern

• It spreads through infected poop—but the virus can stick to shoes, clothing, hands, and surfaces

• It’s extremely tough and can live for months in the environment

• Puppies (especially unvaccinated ones) can get very sick from even tiny exposure

🐾 Other diseases that can be carried in

These are possible, but generally less of a concern from clothes/shoes compared to parvo:

• Canine Distemper – spreads more through the air and direct contact

• Kennel Cough – can hitch a ride on clothing, but usually spreads dog-to-dog

🧼 How to protect your puppy

• Take off or wipe down shoes before walking in your home

• Wash hands after being around other dogs

• Avoid dog parks, pet store floors, and high-traffic dog areas until vaccinations are complete

• Keep your puppy in controlled, clean environments early on

We’re happy to set up a video chat if you’d like to see the puppies while keeping them safe.

From the very beginning, we focus on temperament above all else. We want our puppies to grow up confident, happy, and well-adjusted. While every puppy will still need training and guidance in their new home, we give them the best possible start in life so they can thrive and be the wonderful companions we know they can be.

Our goal is to raise puppies that are not just healthy, but also loving, friendly, and ready to join their new families with a solid foundation.
