We have had the pleasure of raising toy breed puppies for almost 40 years. We are located in southern Colorado, We welcome visitors by appointment. I am happy to "show" you the puppies, however I do not allow any handling of my puppies until they are over 8 weeks old. Visits are also dependent on weather. I show the puppies and visit with folks outdoors. Safer for all my dogs and puppies. I can send videos through text/messenger. I am happy to do video chat through facebook.
Puppies go home with current vaccinations and microchipped, with free lifetime registration. A goodie bag with their current food. A baby blanket Mom and siblings played with for his familiar scent to help lessen the stress of moving to a new home. A couple of his favorite toys. A folder with his detailed vaccination record and lots of information on feeding, training and care of a Toy breed puppy. He will be started on piddle pad training.
2 year health guarantee and lifetime support.
Adoption contract required.
It is important to know if considering adopting a toy size puppy they can be high maintenance the first few months, due to being prone to hypoglycemia. My puppies are weaned carefully to ensure no lapse in eating. They are used to getting Nutrical. I continue giving it to them several times a day. I send home a tube so the new parents can continue this while the puppy settles into their new home. This is like an "insurance policy" to prevent Hypoglycemia if the puppy does not eat well the first couple days. I feed several small meals throughout the day instead of one or two big meals. Especially until they are a few months older.

I feel that the better informed new puppy parents are the better chance of everything going smoothly and the puppy having a happy forever home. There are many references in the guest book on the website.
