Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about our puppies, process, and policies.
What vaccinations does my puppy receive?
All puppies receive age-appropriate vaccinations including DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus), deworming treatments, and a full veterinary health check before going to their new homes. You’ll receive a complete health record with vaccination dates and the recommended schedule for future boosters.
How do I ship my puppy?
We offer two options: in-person pickup from our location in Virginia, or a professional flight nanny service for nationwide delivery. Our flight nannies are experienced pet transporters who hand-carry your puppy in-cabin to ensure their comfort and safety. The flight nanny fee varies based on destination and is the buyer’s responsibility.
Are your dogs hypoallergenic?
Yes! All three of our breeds—Toy Poodles, Maltese, and Maltipoos—are considered hypoallergenic. They have hair rather than fur, which means they shed minimally and produce less dander. While no dog is 100% allergen-free, these breeds are excellent choices for families with allergies.
What is the process to apply?
Start by browsing our Available Puppies page. Once you find a puppy you love, click ‘Reserve Now’ or fill out our Contact form. We’ll schedule a call to discuss your lifestyle and answer questions. If it’s a good match, a $500 non-refundable deposit secures your puppy. The remaining balance is due before pickup or shipping.
Do you offer a health guarantee?
Absolutely. Every puppy comes with a comprehensive genetic health guarantee. We invest in extensive health testing for all our breeding parents, including OFA certifications, PRA testing, and full DNA panels. Specific terms of our health guarantee are provided in the purchase contract.
How are your puppies socialized?
Our puppies are raised in our home and handled daily from birth. They are exposed to household sounds, gentle handling by adults and children, and basic crate and potty training foundations. This early socialization helps them transition smoothly into their new homes as confident, well-adjusted companions.
What comes with my puppy?
Each puppy goes home with a puppy care package including food, a blanket with mom’s scent, toys, health records, microchip registration, and a signed health guarantee.
How long does the process take from deposit to bringing my puppy home?
The timeline varies depending on litter availability. Once you place a deposit on a specific puppy, you can typically bring them home at 8–10 weeks of age. Waitlist reservations depend on upcoming litter schedules.
What should I prepare before bringing my puppy home?
We provide a detailed puppy care guide upon reservation. Essential items include a crate, food and water bowls, puppy food (we’ll specify the brand), a collar and leash, and puppy pads. We’re always available for guidance!
