Thankyou for visiting Sterling Den Kennels!  Come back often for updates on puppies.

.
Welcome! Looking for a pet or a breedable baby?
.
Our puppies are like children to us, so we try to find them loving "forever" homes, that feel the same way we do about protecting them, and their quality of life.  We are fair to deal with, and thus post our policies in the open for all to see.
  
  Breedable Puppies:  We do not allow our breedable AKC dogs to be cross registered and then bred with any other registry papers unless you live in a foreign country, then there are exceptions to accommodate transfers into peer registries.  In other words, if the AKC will accept papers to & from your registry, then we will also. 

.

  Breedable Females:  Also, if purchasing a breedable female, you will only be allowed to breed her every other season, as we want her body respected.  (Exceptions made to those professionals that we know and trust)  We do this to discourage puppy mills from buying our dogs...and it works.

  Breedable Puppies:  Any baby that we sell with open papers comes with a contract that states that you must sell your puppies limited - spay/neuter terms; except for the ones that you keep for your own program.  We do make exceptions for other show homes, but we must approve of the home.

  MinPins Only:  All of our breedable dilute puppies are sold on contracts where the new owner agrees not to use our baby in blue/blue breedings, EVER.  (This causes health problems down the line...)
  
  Pet Puppies:  All of our "pet" puppies will either be: spayed /  neutered before going to their new homes, or placed on spay/neuter contracts.. and we decide what option is best for the dog before placing it.  If we alter the pup here, then it must weigh 2 pounds minimum or be 12 weeks minimum, ADD $110- this includes rabies shot!  We breed & place our babies responsibly and do not want our "kids" to end up in the kitchens and backyards of puppy farms.
We give a full money-back guarantee on operation and survival of pup!
.

This is the BEST deal out there - if the dog is altered here, then we take all of the risk for the pup's recovery after the procedure.  We guarantee that your puppy recovers from the anesthesia, or you get ALL of your money back!  In writing, here it is!  (We will not alter a pup until a deposit has been received.)
.

Otherwise you would have to carry the pup to the vet, pay much more $ for the operation, and if it died, you would be stuck with the vet bill ...and take full loss on the cost of the dog.  Doing it this way, we take all of the risk for you.

A puppy can now be fixed as early as 10-12 weeks of age, thanks to the Juvenile Spay/Neuter Program.  It is a wonderful thing, as it is done early, is much less traumatic on the animal, faster recovery times, and no external stitches are even needed.  The puppy comes home just 4 hours post-op and is already playing!!
.
**  We have been doing this since 2004 with really good results.
.
**  Our local humane society since 2001 has been a model of success with this program; dealing with thousands of puppies per year, with no adverse effects at maturity.
.
**  There are TONS of studies already done on this topic, and most of them concur that there is no reason to wait until animals are older in order to be fixed.  
.
** Thus it becomes a breeder issue:  is the breeder acting responsibly?  
.
If a breeder chooses not to place their babies responsibly, then do you really want to support them by buying a dog from them?
.

Auburn University Vet School teaches this program to vets who then promote responsible breeding and pet ownership by offering it to their clients.  334-844-4690 is their number.  This program is fast becoming main-stream.

   Please understand that we will not place our babies into homes that will exploit them for money. Our babies are also backed with DNA proof of parents in the AKC registry and a health warranty.
  
  • Still interested in owning a quality registered animal? 
  • Do you try to breed "UP" with each generation? 
  • Do you love your babies more than the money that you make when selling them?
  • Do you believe that owners who love their animals keep them put up when not supervised??  
  • If you agree, and can provide a loving home, feel free to contact us.
