I have two pups available in Heidi’s litter. Heidi had 4 females. All are parti’s. 2 are black & white parti’s, 1 is choc/white parti & the 4th is is a dark caramel parti. If you are looking for a specific color, I will tell you that I am not the breeder for you. I work hard to get to know each and every family and sacrifice a lot of time to get to know each and every puppy myself. I do not raise them in kennels or crates. I do not have employees They are each handled at least a dozen times a day. They are constantly being exposed to new sounds and smells and soon, new textures and toys. .By the time they go home, they are well adjusted, about 90% house trained, acclimated to a crate, understand simple commands, can do 4-6 stairs, have their first parvo & distemper on board, have been wormed twice, vetted, microchipped & f***l is sent out for a comprehensive. They are mini’s..
I will attach to this post Heidi’s Mother & Father. Heidi was a part of the 1st litter from this pairing. The pairing was repeated twice more. Her parents are both OFA excellent and Heidi tested in the 90th percentile for Pennhip. Heidi is registered with both WALA & ALAA. She is 1 of 5 that is a working service dog today from the same litter. She is my most intelligent dog. I nearly lost the whole litter when Maddy saved the day & nursed them for just a day until Heidi’s milk came in. Heidi had been stung by a white faced wasp just 72 hrs prior to giving birth. She never left their side once. She has been an incredibly attentive Mother. I will attach a few photos from this harrowing experience. The right family for these puppies will be a family where someone is home during the day. These puppies just turned 2 weeks this past Saturday & have had their eyes open for the last 5 days or so. Ears are open as well. They are walking. They are such beautiful puppies. I care very much where each pupoy lives. I never just sell to sell a puppy. I raise them as if they are my own and work hard to give them the very best start at life as possible.
I was hoping I’d have a family with young children as these puppies are so calm, sweet natured, gentle & come with a 5 year warranty. They are all thriving. All 4 just reached the 2 lb mark. These are going to be very easy to train puppies if you have never owned a dog before. They are hypoallergenic and will never shed. They will be snuggle bugs, loving, loyal and some could test to be an alert dog. They will be agile, enjoy wooded trails and will be beautiful as they mature with their markings.
Their go home day is July 20th. I do not intend on keeping any beyond the 20th to train. It’s been several years since I’ve had a Summer to just enjoy my dogs and I’d love to visit my son in Newport and the Cape with my crew. If you are interested in a puppy but perhaps the timing doesn’t quite line up, I can recommend a couple of different board and train programs local to me that I would trust wit my own dogs. This will always be a special litter in my heart because of how selfless Maddy was on saving their beautiful lives. It was such a moving experience and I am grateful that I was able to witness it!! Puppies are still currently in my bedroom. I do have a guardian family for this litter as I am holding one back for use in my breeding program. A $500 deposit would guarantee you a puppy from this litter. The remaining amount- half is due @ 4 weeks of age and the remainder at 7 weeks of age.
Your puppy will go home with 30 days of insurance compliments of Trupanion. They will be well socialized and have the opportunity to play with my 2 young nephews. My biosecurity is zipped up tight. You will always have a lifetime of support from me. I do highly recommend the Baxter & Bella training program online in addition to at least one in person basic obedience course. If you sign up for Baxter & Bella, it costs $178 & change for a lifetime membership, use the code Lakeridge25 for a 25% off discount. I send home lots of toys to get you started.
Puppies will mature to be 18-24 lbs. I used to think mini’s were an accessory. I couldn’t have been more wrong! They eat less, take up less real estate, have the same exact calm temperament you can expect to see from a medium. Just took all 5 for a 5 mile hike a few days ago. All 5 kept pace. I find my mini’s are easier to travel with. They jump in & out of my SUV, quicker & lighter to bathe, easier to keep up with brushing & this litter I have such expectations! I can only hope they have many of Heidi’s mannerisms. Heidi and the sire of the litter; Grizz both have had OFA hips, elbows, patellas, cardiac, eyes tested annually, pennhip and a full genetic panel and are clear on all. In addition, Heidi has had coat and color testing. Any family that would like proof of such is welcome to ask:
I am located in Killingly, Ct: While I do offer shipping, I much prefer to meet in person. I can deliver to either Logan Or TF green in Providence should you wish to fly with your puppy in cabin. I am sandwiched in between Central Ma & 2 minutes from the Foster, RI border. I am 45 min from the greater Boston area, about 2 hrs from NY and 25m from Providence, RI.
Please share if you know of anyone that might be interested. I love them so much and want them all to have the most beautiful life❤️
Check out my Instagram for reels of Heidi in a full coat. She is such a beautiful dog when in a full coat. So graceful, light on her feet, has never met a dog she did not love. I simply wanted to wait to fill Heidi’s litter so I knew for certain all were 💯 healthy and thriving as they should be!!
Please share🙏🏻 hoping to attract the special families out there who are ready to add a special puppy to their famil
