How Our Puppies Are Raised

All of our puppies are raised in our home and remain with us until they are 8 to 12 weeks old. We follow the Puppy Culture protocols to ensure they receive a strong foundation in early development, socialization, and enrichment. Each puppy receives plenty of attention and appropriate exposure to the world around them.

By the time they leave for their new homes, our puppies have already started potty training, crate training at night, and learning key life skills. They are kept up to date on age-appropriate veterinary care to support healthy growth and well-being.

All puppies are registered with both the AKC and ASCA. They are placed on contract and individually matched to their families no earlier than 8 weeks of age, once we have completed evaluations. These evaluations help us pair each puppy with the family and lifestyle where they’ll thrive.

​

Each Puppy Comes With:

• AKC and ASCA registration

• Signed puppy contract

• Microchip

• Regular deworming at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks

• Tail docked

• Eye exam by a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist (CERF)

• Veterinary check and health record

• First round of vaccinations

• Starter bag of food

• Toy with familiar scent from mom and littermates

• Lifetime support and mentorship

Relationships Over Transactions

At Audacity, we’re committed to building lasting relationships, not just making placements. When you take home one of our puppies, our support doesn’t stop at pickup. We’re here for you throughout your dog’s entire life and beyond. We genuinely love staying in touch, hearing about your dog’s milestones, and watching your journey unfold. Many of our puppy homes have become lifelong friends, and that connection is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.

Purposeful Puppy Placement

We place puppies based on a thoughtful evaluation of each individual puppy’s temperament, your goals, your lifestyle, and your experience with the breed. We do not allow buyers to choose their own puppy from the litter, as this often leads to mismatches between dog and home.

While we’re happy to consider your color and gender preferences, those factors are never the sole basis for placement. Personality, structure, and suitability for your lifestyle are far more important. Our goal is to pair each puppy with the home that will help them thrive and make you happiest in the long run.

Final placement decisions are made between 8-12 weeks of age, once we’ve had time to evaluate each puppy’s overall health, structure, temperament, and movement. This allows us to make the most informed match possible and set everyone up for long-term success.

Pricing

Our puppies are priced at $2,500 for companion and performance homes, sold with a spay or neuter agreement. Intact puppies for approved show or breeding programs are placed only by private agreement on a case-by-case basis. You're welcome to contact us if you’d like to discuss what might be a good fit.
