HOME-RAISED, HAND-HELD, HAPPY AND HEALTHY PUPS

Guardian Program
HTP established the guardian program to ensure each breeder is driven by the same mission; to raise the healthiest and happiest puppies. We maintain a strict vetting process to make certain that every breeder is aligned with Happytail Puppies’ core values, licensing and inspection requirements, training protocols, and hands-on care. In order to nurture these relationships, we conduct regular site visits and provide continuing education to breeders within the guardian program.
HTP owns every pair of parents for each puppy they place in a new home allowing us to provide deep detail on bloodlines and pedigrees. HTP is also able to provide annual vet check reports, pictures, and matured weight of the parents.
Hands-On Care
You can trust that your puppy is in good hands. Each family in our guarding program has a licenced and inspected home kennel allowing them to provide 24/7 hands on tender loving care. Your puppy is raised in a family environment to ensure proper socialization, has access to fresh water at all times, lives in a clean environment, and does not leave their mother until they are 100% ready to do so. HTP also includes onsite vet checks to make sure your puppy is happy, healthy, and strong.
