Our Why
Dogs have a unique relationship with us that goes back thousands of years. There is no other relationship we have quite like the one with dogs. In honor of this sacred pairing, we endeavor to bring forth puppies with the best possible start in life.
Puppy Training
Puppies are conditioned right away not to bite, to sit nicely and potty in wood chip litter boxes.
Enrichment
Puppies are given new challenges and exposure every week to get used to many experiences and environments.
Raw Diets
Grass-fed beef from Bradley and Sons in Durham, CA, quail from our ranch, heritage pork from Red Gate Ranch in Red Bluff, CA, and Answers detailed beef formula and more.
Raw Meaty Bones
Puppies have developing jaws and teeth and need to chew! We offer raw meaty bones every single day so they can get their gnaw on.
Holistic Prevention
We use all natural, homeopathic, herbal and nutritional methods of keeping parasites at bay and preventing Parvo and Distemper.
Crates and Pens
Puppies are penned inside and outside with several areas in and around the home to play and sleep.

You can get them to lay in nests. It is possible they just have to make the nests if you give them the materials.
Well here we go again. #poisonoak party continues. Both eyes actually, a little on the left as well.
Barbie Baby is off the market! She`s going to a very sweet family that has Vito from Panda`s only litter. Technically she`ll be his Aunt Barbie. So happy for this perfect match.
Oh Lindie, I just left snuggling with her. She`s such a good girl. Very gentle. Would be great with another dog or kids probably will be between 26 and 32 lbs.

Special Needs, Vets and Elders
We offer older, more well-trained and special temperament puppies to those that want a dog but would find it very difficult to take on the exuberance and care necessary to train a puppy. These special dogs are reserved for these folks and we take pride in being here to continue to support our special owners.
What We Do
Naturally Bred, Fed Species Appropriate Diets and Intentionally Raised to be the Healthiest Fun-Sized Family Companions.
Healthy puppies are happy puppies, happy puppies make happy humans, and while a bunch of happy puppies running around with their happy humans may not save our troubled world, it sure would make things a lot better. That’s why we feed our puppies a nutritious, all-natural diet; train them thoroughly from an early age; and support owners with a starter kit and on-going guidance throughout their dog’s life.
Starter Kit Included
Your puppy comes with a starter kit that includes a raw feeding guide, a leash/harness, a treat pouch, and a family tree document.
Life-Long Support
We’re a resource that never goes away: here to offer tips and advice both when you first get your puppy and throughout their life.
Puppy Training
We work hard to train them to use wood chip litter and to sleep in their crates. We also conduct socialization with them starting early and basic commands.
