For nearly 20 years, our puppy program has been at the cutting edge of breeding practices, setting a high standard that many other breeders do not go to the same extent to achieve. We’ve meticulously developed our methods to ensure that each puppy is not only healthy but also well-socialized and prepared for their new homes. From advanced health screenings to early neurological stimulation and individualized care, our commitment to excellence in breeding practices has remained unwavering, consistently producing exceptional puppies that embody the best of the breed.

Health Assurance: We offer a Limited Health Assurance which is further detailed in our Puppy/Dog Agreement and is available upon request.
Pet Insurance Coverage: When you bring home one of our puppies, they come with an initial 30-day pet insurance policy through Trupanion that begins the moment they join your family. On top of that, once your puppy is registered with the AKC, you’ll receive an additional 30-day insurance policy through the AKC. Both policies are extendable and depending on the timing of the registration, they may overlap, potentially providing you with more than 30 days of coverage. This provides you with peace of mind while your puppy settles into their new home.Article Sponsored Find something for everyone in our collection of colourful, bright and stylish socks.

Getting Your Puppy Home / Transportation Options
- Direct Pick Up: You may pick up your puppy by visiting our home in Oregon.
- Flight Nanny Service: A RavenWyn Flight Nanny will fly to your location and deliver the puppy directly to you. You may either meet the Nanny at the airport closest to you, or the Nanny will drive to your location. The puppy will travel in the cabin of the airplane with the Flight Nanny, NOT in the cargo section of the plane. This is a great option for those living outside of Oregon and Washington states.
- Ground Transport: Ground Transport may be available to various locations depending on the puppy’s final destination.
- Pet Air Cargo: On a case-by-case basis and weather permitting, we will consider cargo options for puppies or adults that may be too large to transport in the cabin.
