Buying a Northwoods Boxer Puppy:
Our puppies are like our babies. My children are grown and I am an independant insurance adjuster this allows me to take time from my job and devote all of my time to helping our girls raise their precious babies. For the last 2 weeks of their pregnancy and for the 8 weeks that the puppies are starting their little lives here with us, I hardly leave the house. I am right with the mother and I assist her in the birth and cleaning of each baby, the babies are all handled several times a day. Mother's and babies are cherished and showered with love and attention and the babies are also taught house manners and simple commands. We start them on crate training at weaning and the housesbreaking begins at 3 weeks, believe it or not!
I keep the whelping box as well as the puppies and the mother immaculate, they are all fed a very high quality food and they get lots of toys of different textures and designs which make cool noises to peak their curiousty and interest as well as help to build their confidence and problem solving skills. At 1 week we start trimming their little toe nails to get them used to it and to keep them from scratching their mothers. When it comes time to wean the puppies, they are all fed together from a huge bowl or a few huge bowls, this is to help them learn that they are to share their food and hopefully keep them from ever having food aggression issues. We have a very safe puppy room here in the house that we designed just for the puppies so that when we or the puppies or their mommies need a little break or if we have to go away they have a safe, beautiful, fun place to play and rest. We just put up a baby gate so that we can all still see and hear each other. When the babies are totally weaned we start Crate training them at night to prepare them for when they go to their new homes. This makes their transition to your home a lot more comfortable for them and you. The puppies are socialized with our little maltese and our barn cats as well as being used to seeing horses and wildlife.
Our puppies are not only known for their beauty and great conformation but they are also intelligent, confident and they have amazing temperaments. We believe that this is a result of the solid lines that they come from and their spectacular parents as well as the time and the love that we invest into each puppy beginning the moment that I assist each puppy as he or she enters this world. If you have not guessed yet, we do not place our puppies with just anyone who calls and has the money. We have a screening process and an application that must be filled out, we then review the applications and choose those applicants that we feel will provide the very best homes for our babies. We do not sell to puppymills or pet stores. We may consider selling to approved breeders. We reserve the right to refuse to sell any puppy to any person for any reason. Once you are approved for a puppy you will have 24 hours to send us your deposit or the puppy will return to available status. Please see shipping page for payment details if your puppy needs to be shipped. If you are interested in placing a deposit on a future litter or a particular puppy, please contact us by phone or email. Our contact info can be found on the home page.
All of our puppies come with the appropriate registration application AKC limited for pet homes or full for show or breeding homes. Puppy Packetts which include boxer information, a poison chart, and we will email you updates with personal info about your puppy's birth and personality traits that we have noticed from the time that the puppy has spent with us. Feeding instructions a coupon from Canidae(this is a premium brand of dog food and we feed it to all of our boxers) for a free bag of food and a starter bag of food from us. All puppies will be well socialized with people (adults and children) and other animals. Each puppy will have age appropriate shots and wormings. They will have been seen by the vet no less than 2 times, the vet records will be in the kit. They come with a 1 yr Health Guarantee and a lifetime of support from me. I will always be here for any questions that you may have. I love each and every boxer baby that I place so I will always be available day or night for both of you and in return I hope that I will recieve monthly pictures and updates. Puppies that are being shipped* will come with a new crate and bowls, Health Certificate (required for flying) a blankie and a stuffed toy rubbed on his/her littermates and mommy so that he/she has comforting, familiar scents on his/her journey to meet his/her forever family. All potential homes must fill out a puppy application and we reserve the right to deny any application for any reason.
