Puppies for Sale in Maine

A:Maine winters are serious, but several of our breeds actually thrive in that kind of weather. Golden Retrievers and Pomskies were practically built for snow and cold temps, and they'll love getting outside year-round with you. Miniature Dachshunds and Mini Doxiedoodles do well too as long as you have a warm coat for shorter outings on the coldest days. Fluffy French Bulldogs are a fantastic pick for Maine families because they're mostly indoor companions. They'll stay cozy inside while the wind howls, and they don't need a big yard to stay happy.

A:Absolutely, and we love when families make the trip. Visits are by appointment so we can give you our full attention. You'll meet the parent dogs, walk through the kennel, and spend real time with the puppies. It's one thing to see photos online, but holding a puppy and watching how it interacts with your kids is a completely different experience. If traveling isn't in the cards, we also offer virtual tours so you can see exactly how our puppies are raised before making a decision.

A:Maine's cold weather means a little extra prep goes a long way. Have a warm, draft-free spot set up inside before your puppy arrives, and pick up a properly sized jacket or sweater for those first outdoor bathroom trips if your pup has a shorter coat. Schedule a vet visit within the first week to get established with a local clinic. Puppy paws are sensitive to ice and road salt, so pet-safe paw balm and wiping feet after walks will save you trouble early on.

A:Maine is a 10 to 16 hour drive from us, so most families here want to know exactly who's raising their puppy before it ever gets on the road. We're a family of nine, five girls, two boys, and two parents, on five acres in the rolling hills of Central Ohio, and we've been doing this for more than 13 years. Our kids are in the whelping room and the play yard every day, so every puppy is genuinely family raised. Our kennel has heated tile floors for winter, which matters when you know what real cold looks like, and geothermal cooling for summer, and it's been remodeled multiple times over the years. We're certified through the Purdue University Canine Care Program, one of the few breeders in the country who are, and our vet from Danville Veterinary Clinic comes to the kennel weekly. Every puppy goes through Early Neurological Stimulation between days 3 and 16, and all parent dogs are health and genetic tested. Climate-controlled ground transport delivers to Portland, Bangor, and everywhere in between, and flight nanny service is available too. More about our family is on our About Us page.
