Our purpose here at Lena's Mini Doxies is to preserve breed characteristics and producing healthy well-socialized puppies. We give careful consideration to health issues, temperament, genetic screening, as well as to the individual care and placement of puppies in responsible homes.
I have had several people ask me why our prices are higher than the puppies advertised in local papers. We do not advertise in the paper. We think there are too many puppies being advertised there by back yard breeders and puppy mills. We have gone to great lengths and cost to hand pick our breeding stock to produce quality puppies. We only breed healthy quality dogs. We feed a very high quality dog food (Nature's Variety), healthy treats and keep all of our dogs up to date on their vaccinations, veterinary visits, bathed/groomed & nails done. All of our dogs live in the home with us and all puppies are born in our home with us supervising and there to imprint each puppy as they are welcomed into the world. The pups are handled daily and are well socialized. They are wormed every two weeks from birth with Pyrantel 50, have their first set of vaccinations and health examine before going to their new family. We work very hard at starting the process of crate and house training. We also update the new families with new pictures weekly until they go to their new homes. When you receive your puppy they will be freshly bathed with Spa shampoo and smelling wonderful. They will also be flea and worm free and happy and healthy. We also are proud of the "puppy pack" that we put together for each of the puppies. It is designed with food by Nature's Variety, toy, health record from birth, tons of information, coupons, first Heartguard plus tablet, Frontline coupons, business card and a health guarantee/contract. We stand behind our puppies 100% and welcome comments. We also offer references. So please know the sky is the limit as to what we do to provide you with the "best" new friend. We want you to be able to spend time and money enjoying spoiling and bonding with your new puppy and not spending those precious puppy days in the vet office with a sick puppy and large veterinary bills. So, this is why our puppies cost a little more than advertised puppies in the paper. Remember the ole sayin ...."You get what you pay for".
