These older puppies have already

Available & Ready Older Pups

These older puppies have already had all their Puppy Booster shots in the series of 4 completed, a plus for new parenting without needing those booster shot vet visits!

Occasionally we get requests from people for slightly older puppies, because they are ready to get started with having a buddy who is past the infant-like stage. Sometimes folks' free time is limited due to careers and they want one old enough to start crate training and who is ready to learn and form a working routine in their forever household, or they simply want a good friend who can keep up around their home and yard!

For that reason, we know there is a perfect person or family situation for each of our babies, and we are willing to wait and enjoy them here with our family until just the right matching home speaks up and tells us they are ready for a favorite pup!

For some people, choosing a puppy who is already finished with all the shots in their series of 4 and has reached the age they no longer sleep in a bathtub and are able to begin a house breaking routine in their new home makes more sense. Busy families and individuals often ask if we have 6 mo and older puppies available who are old enough to fetch and play harder, stay outside longer, and hold their bladder longer, as well as be past most of the puppy biting stage and crying for attention and their needs like infants do.

Housebreaking in your home
When introducing your new canine to your home, its best to be as diligent as possible the first day or so while they are learning about your environment to avoid accidents all together, and set good expectations for the years to come in your home. Do not let your newcomer have free unsupervised roam of your home- its your home, they have not learned about it yet so its up to you to show them what you expect so that they can be responsible and it can become their home too. They need to know what your pack expects from the start, Take them outside often to start that as the routine for your pack- go out the same door so they can learn what door you want them to go to to let you know they need to go out, and take them to the same spot in the yard so they can re-mark where they have gone before.

Your new pup will be attentive to your guidance on how to fit in with your homelife, so communicate what you want them to learn now, be patient and consistent, remind them of protocol when needed, so that they can feel more comfortable taking the appropriate role in your pack!

"Hi there!

I'm Zan, the proud owner of Beamer! Just wanted to drop you a note telling you how great we are doing! He has adjusted well to life here in Fayetteville, NC. I have added on a bunch of pics of him playing with his favorite toys, riding with his head out the window, and lounging around with me on my days off! Thank you so much for letting me adopt him! He has very quickly become my little man and I look forward to seeing him everyday as I walk thru the door. He has provided so much company and so many laughs in just the few months he has been by my side! I look forward to a lifetime of laughs and adventure with my boy :)

Thanks again!

"Wonka"
Chocolate Boy with a blaze has flown to his new family now !!

Hello

After a couple of years of being a no-animal home and allowing us the time to truly make a rational decision (not just one from grief), we feel it is now time to bring a new animal into the home. Our blessed Yeller and Bear both passed away while our son was in college, and my husband lost his buddies. My husband grew up with a beagle mix, and I thought I would surprise him with a beagle this holiday season. I have done all types of research, and I so wanted to find a reputable breeder close to home - Dover, Delaware - and I all I have to say about that plan is that I should have just contacted you first!

My husband likes to work in the yard and in his "garage." Yeller, especially, used to be his buddy as he puttered around, and he does miss the companionship. I enjoy the outdoors, but hanging in the garage is not really my "cup of tea."

We will be empty nesters this summer when our only son marries his college sweetheart. He is living at home to save money, so there will be three responsible adults to help the new puppy become part of our family. My son and I are both teachers, so we know how important consistency, love, and "no" are.

I, however, am part of a close family with lots of nephews and nieces, whom all have dogs. When we get together, the dogs (golden, whippet, jack russell, and malti-poo, plus my one sister's mixes) are often there, so it is important that he be social. One of my sister's is a Vet, so he will be getting excellent veterinary care.
Once he is trained, he will sleep on his bed in the crate or in our room.

We live in a neighborhood with large yards. We have a 2-acre lot, and we have it enclosed with an invisible fence. In addition, we all like to hike, so the puppy would become part of the hiking "team." My son also runs, so the puppy will be getting plenty of exercise. My husband and I like to take walks, so the puppy will just become part of the routine.

As I initially stated, I was hoping to do this by Christmas, but I realize now that is probably not possible. However, because my son and I are home for a couple of weeks, it would be fabulous if we could get the baby sometime soon, so we can help him get used to us while we are home full-time. We are looking for a tri-color standard beagle that is social and energetic but not hyper. We prefer a male, but understand that is not always an option. We are also willing to take an older dog.

Because we live in Delaware, we are probably looking at having the dog shipped to us. The drive is approximately 10 hours each way, so it would be a long drive for a weekend.

I look forward to hearing from you regarding our options.
Take care
Lynn

they had asked about our Maverick due to price of tri colors being less...

we decided to offer wonka for the same as tri colored price and they took us up on it !

( we never come down on prices of younger puppies but this winter with both kids in college Miss C. is more open to it on older pups so they find good homes too !!)

Hello Christine

Wonka is settling in well with our family, and he seems to be very happy. He has lots of energy, and we get a big kick out of him.

Take care
Lynn
