Sorry but the answer to the question is NO. There are many reason why we do not allow anyone around newborn puppies between birth and 8 weeks of age, all of which are to protect the litter, your new family member and our other dogs from illness and/or disease. Newborn puppies do not regulate body temperature for the first two weeks of life so we limit all outside traffic.  Limited interactions with nursing moms after the first two weeks until puppies are weaned.

 

Did you know most illnesses and/or diseases are innocently carried on people’s shoes and clothing? Entire litters of puppies can be wiped out within 48 hours by the puppy killer parvo virus. This disease could be picked up unknowingly by people in a school yard, a park, or on a sidewalk, and this is only one disease. We cannot risk exposing our dogs and your puppy to diseases that could destroy them.

 

We know you are excited and invite you to follow the updates on our Facebook page. We are taking every precaution necessary to ensure healthy puppies!
