HEALTH RECORDS

Larry's Health & Vaccination Log

Larry's health has been monitored from birth through a coordinated veterinary program. Below is a summary of her vaccination history, deworming schedule, and veterinary inspection points.

Special Nurturing Notice

FOR PUPPIES LESS THAN 2 LBS

Due to the puppy's small size, they may need to remain with the breeder for additional time, and the home ready date may be postponed accordingly. Puppies weighing under 2lbs may require special care, including feedings every 2–3 hours upon arrival, and individual transition times will vary. We reserve the right to cancel any puppy reservation if pet insurance is not in place and the puppy weighs under 2 lbs at the time of the final veterinary inspection.

Vaccination & Deworming

12-Point Nose-to-Tail Vet Exam

Diagram of the 12-point nose-to-tail veterinary examination areas on a puppy

This evaluation includes assessment of:

Heart and lung function

Eyes, ears, and oral health

Mobility and physical structure

Coat condition and skin health

Body condition and overall development

The purpose of this examination is to confirm that observable health, physical development, and overall condition are consistent with age and expected progress.

FROM THE SAME LITTER

Larry's Littermates

Larry was born alongside these siblings on April 9, 2026. Each puppy has been raised under the same structured development plan and health protocols. Meet his littermates.

PARENT INFORMATION

Larry's Parents

Why Certain Information Is Shared Privately

To protect our dogs, our families, and the integrity of our program, we do not publicly post parent photos, health certificates, or OFA records on our website. Scam sites and fraudulent sellers often copy breeder photos and documentation to create deceptive listings, so we share sensitive materials only with serious, verified families during the inquiry process.

We also ask prospective customers to provide basic information before requesting additional documents, repeated photos, or extensive records. This helps us verify identity, protect private information from misuse, and limit the amount of material that can be collected by bad actors, while allowing us to focus on genuine families interested in providing a safe, loving home.

She’s the sweetest, silliest, and cutest (sorry everybody else) girl in the world. Reservation process was easy. We financed, financing doubled the price so keep that in mind.

FAQ

Common Questions Answered

Breeding decisions are made only after parent dogs meet age and health requirements and receive veterinary clearance. This includes breed-appropriate health testing, such as OFA evaluations where applicable, along with review of health history and compatibility before pairing.

Each puppy's development is tracked from birth through placement following a structured schedule. Breeders document weight, behavior, and health observations at each stage. Internal oversight agents review these records alongside direct on-site observations to confirm that documented care aligns with actual practices.

Licensed veterinarians are involved at every stage — from evaluating breeding dogs and guiding maternal health protocols, to conducting full nose-to-tail examinations before each puppy is placed. Veterinary input also informs vaccination schedules, parasite control, and any follow-up care needed during development.

A dual-layered oversight system is in place. Third-party veterinarians provide independent medical evaluation, while designated breeder relation agents conduct both scheduled and unannounced on-site visits. Documentation is reviewed alongside direct observation to ensure that what is recorded reflects what is actually happening in daily care.

Puppies are not shipped directly from breeders. Premier Pups coordinates the transition process, which includes final health evaluation at a licensed veterinary facility before any placement. Pickup and delivery options are available, and families are informed of all details prior to the puppy's travel.

Advanced blood evaluation provides objective laboratory data on internal organ function, glucose levels, protein, and hydration status. It adds a measurable diagnostic layer to the clinical exam, giving families a more complete picture of their puppy's health at the point of placement. More than 70% of families choose to include it.
