Ethics and Sourcing
At Puppy Dog Nursery, we believe that where a puppy comes from matters just as much as where it’s going.
We’ve built our reputation on transparency, responsibility, and an unwavering commitment to the welfare of every puppy we place. That starts with how we source our puppies.
Our Breeder Standards
We work exclusively with breeders who meet our rigorous standards for ethical breeding practices. Every breeder in our network has been personally vetted, and we maintain ongoing relationships to ensure continued compliance.
- Health Testing: All breeding dogs undergo comprehensive health screenings appropriate to their breed
- Living Conditions: Our breeders provide clean, spacious, and enriching environments for their dogs
- Socialization: Puppies are raised in home environments with early exposure to various sights, sounds, and experiences
- Breeding Frequency: We only work with breeders who limit breeding to protect the health and well-being of their dogs
- Transparency: Every puppy comes with full documentation including health records, lineage information, and breeder details
Canine Care Certified
Many of our partner breeders are Canine Care Certified, meeting the highest standards in the industry for dog welfare. This certification requires third-party audits and ensures that puppies are raised with the utmost care and attention to their physical and emotional well-being.
What We Don’t Do
- We never source from puppy mills or high-volume commercial breeders
- We never work with brokers or auction houses
- We never prioritize profit over puppy welfare
- We never cut corners on health testing or documentation
