Yes! All of our puppies are sent home with AKC registration ( LIMITED REGISTRATION ) packets. Once you receive your puppy, it is then your responsibility to register them via mail or online.
Are your puppies sold with registration?
What does 'limited AKC registration' mean?
Limited AKC registration means that the individual dog is registered, but no litters produced by that dog are eligible for registration.
Do you test your adult dogs for hereditary genetic disorders?
Absolutely. All of our dogs are tested and cleared for hereditary genetic disorders.
Do you offer a hip guarantee?
We guarantee your puppy to be free from any genetically caused hip dysplasia for a period of up to 26 months of age.
How will we get our new puppy home?
Do you ship your puppies?
Our first—and most preferred—option is for you to pick up your puppy in person. We love meeting our families face-to-face! However, we understand that this isn’t always possible, and some families choose to fly.
If you choose to fly, you can arrive at either the Kansas City or Tulsa, Oklahoma airport, where our Nanny or a member of our Echoing Pines family will meet you with your puppy. You’ll then be able to fly home with your new companion safely tucked under your seat in an approved pet carrier.
We do not ship our puppies in cargo. However, if neither of the above options works for you, we can arrange for our personal puppy nanny to deliver your puppy. She will fly in the cabin with your puppy and meet you at the airport of your choice. This service is available at an additional cost. Occasionally, we may have other puppies traveling in the same direction, in which case we may offer delivery via ground transport. For more details about flights, please visit our Nanny Service page.
Can I visit the puppies ?
Unfortunately we do not allow that at this time. We do not offer visitation until pick up. There are several reasons why we do not let anyone around the new puppies between birth and 8 weeks – all to protect our dogs and your puppy. It is extremely stressful for the mom to have strangers visit as she is caring for her new litter. This in turn will put stress on the new born pups.
Most illnesses and 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.
Do you remove Dewclaws?
NO--After much research we have made the decision not to remove Dewclaws...for more information on this subject please watch this Video About Dewclaws
Spaying & Neutering
Many studies have been done showing that spaying/neutering a large breed puppy too early has many health and developmental risks. Because of this, we encourage our pet families to wait until at least 18 months - 2 years to spay/neuter their dogs. Females must go through at least one heat cycle + 2-3 months past cycle end date.
