We were looking for 2-3 months. The only reason it was a little stressful was because we had a hard time finding any breeders with available puppies. We didn’t want to wait 1+ years. We FaceTimed, messaged through Instagram and texted with Lady Paws Puppies. I checked out their Instagram and Facebook accounts, we FaceTimed and I saw all the puppies and chatted with Sharitee before we sent any money over to make sure they were legitimate.
Pros: Sharitee was so quick to communicate with and always answered all of my questions and concerns. She kept the Instagram page updated frequently so we could always see updated pictures and videos of the puppies. Once we picked our specific puppy she sent us pictures and videos of just him on a regular basis. We loved that! I think Sharitee did an excellent job of desensitizing the puppy. We haven’t had any problems with noise, touch, etc. The puppy was trained to go potty on a pad which has made potty training easier. We wanted a breeder who was more personal and breeding on a smaller scale. We loved that the puppies were in the home with their family and kids, I feel like that has helped us bringing the puppy into our own home with kids and constant noise. Our puppy was also used to a pen which has helped with training on our end and I think will make the transition to house training easier. We were sent home with a folder full of information and tips to make our puppies transition easier and little goodie bag with some food and toys.
Cons: I honestly cannot think of any- we love our puppy so much!
I loved that Lady Paws Puppies was a family business made up of sisters. It felt so much more personal then some of the other breeders I looked into.
