PARENT INFORMATION

Xavier'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.

"Premier Pups was amazing to work with! They sent me all her information over quickly including updated photos and videos. Spent time on the phone with me going over everything about their organization and how it worked. I was able to text and email them while we waited on her pick up date. When we got to the date of pick up they were so helpful in making sure we had everything we needed for her, answered all our questions, allowed us time to play with her and have her get to know us. Their take home information was easy to understand and our vet was impressed with what they sent home as far as medicines, paperwork, and information. "

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.
