At Sandem, my goal is to create versatile, happy, and healthy puppies that will excel in any field. There is an emphasis on early experiences and proper socialization to create lifelong companions of sound temperament and health. This includes raising all puppies under foot and exposing them to as many sights, sounds, and textures as possible during their critical early stages. Puppies will go home around 8-9 weeks of age to ensure each puppy has had a chance to fully develop their own personality and is set up for success. Buyers will not be allowed to pick out their puppy based on color, markings, or photos. Based on your goals and needs, I will determine which puppy is the best fit for you. You will be living with your puppy for the next 10-15 years, so temperament is the utmost priority.

Please note preference will be given to sport, show, and/or working homes first.

At pickup, your puppy will go home with a little gift from Sandem to help welcome your new companion. This package will include:

• AKC & NAVHDA registration

• Final vet check with health certificate

• First round of vaccines (as age appropriate at 8 weeks old), deworming, and microchip

• Small bag of dog food, toy, and a blanket with mom’s scent

• Sandem Promise - a lifetime of breeder support and advice, and lifetime take-back policy. I will ALWAYS take back any dog I have bred or co-bred for any reason at ANY point in the dog’s life if you can no longer keep and/or care for them.
