Question 1

How much are your puppies?

Accepted Answer

Our puppies are $4,500.

Our pricing reflects the time, care, and intention behind every puppy - not just the final product.  This includes care, health testing and early development for each puppy before they go home.

Each puppy goes home with:
Ear cropping (completed prior to placement by a veterinarian familiar with cropping the breed)
Early socialization and Puppy Culture foundation
A strong nutritional start
30 days of health insurance
Lifetime breeder support

Question 2

Can I choose my puppy?

Accepted Answer

We match puppies based on temperament, structure, and lifestyle compatibility.

This ensures the best long-term fit for both the puppy and your family.

Question 3

How does the reservation process work?

Accepted Answer

Submit and application
Initial conversation/interview

Approval and added to our wait list.

Upon notification of birth, deposits will be accepted to reserve your spot.

Question 4

Do you offer breeding rights? (copy)

Accepted Answer

No.  We do not sell puppies with full breeding rights.

Our focus is preserving and improving the breed through carefully planned pairings.

Question 5

Why is it important that the entire family know the puppy/dog is coming?

Accepted Answer

We do not believe that any puppy or dog should be purchased as part of a surprise/gift without everyone in the family knowing about it. 
 
All the adults and children over 8 years old in the home should be involved in the process.
 
Everyone should be able to join in the excitement of a new family member and in the upcoming training of the new family member. 
 
Any reservations can be dealt with before the puppy/dog arrives. 
 
We have found that sometimes when puppies or dogs are given as a surprise, the other person might not be as into the puppy/dog as expected. 
 
A good breeder will want to meet the entire family and if the family places a deposit, the family might be able to visit and watch live videos as the puppy grows between birth and ten weeks.

Question 6

Our family wants two puppies (perferably littermates) to raise together.  Will PrideNJoyz sell us two puppies?

Accepted Answer

NO.  We will not ever sell two puppies to the same household.  In order to properly raise a puppy, we expect you to focus on that one puppy.  If you take two puppies, it is much more difficult to focus your attention especially if you need to work on a specific behavior.  Additionally, the two puppies might bond more with each other than with their humans.  We feel that raising one puppy at a time leads to greater success and happiness.
 
We will (and have) place two of our dogs/puppies in the same household once the first puppy is over a year old and the family has shown that they are ready for another one.

Question 7

Do not apply or inquire about a puppy, if..."

Accepted Answer

- you want a puppy with a natural tail.  A PrideNJoy puppy will ALWAYS have its tail docked.  We do not leave tails natural. 
 
 - you want a puppy to protect your family/home.  A PrideNJoyz puppy REQUIRES training often and early.  If you are not able or willing to have a well trained dog and put in the work to have a well trained dog, I am not your breeder.
 
- you think the veterinarian is always right.  We believe in holistic and natural raising of our dogs on a raw diet, many vets do not agree or understand this mentality.  You must be willing to speak your mind to your vet or find one that will listen.
 
- you are looking to surprise someone special with a puppy as a gift.  A puppy is a commitment.
 
- you are looking to purchase a puppy with the right to breed it.  We do not sell breeding rights.
 
 - you currently have a puppy (age under 12 months) and are looking to add another puppy now.  We want you to focus on training your puppy individually.
 
 - you are planning on "free feeding" your puppy/dog. 
 
 - you believe that crate training is cruel or are not willing/able to crate train for the first 12 months.
 
 - you are looking for a oversized Cane Corso.
 
We place our dogs and puppies in like minded families.  Please be sure you are the right fit for a PrideNJoyz puppy.

Question 8

Did you hear about our Rebate Progam?

Accepted Answer
