Puppies
Our puppies come from strong working bloodlines with sound health and temperaments. They leave us with health certificates, pedigrees, first shots and worming as well as copies of the sire's and dam's health testing results. Pet-companion dogs are sold on spay-neuter agreement - American Kennel Club registration papers for limited breeding. Show-breeding dogs are sold on a co-ownership or terms. All of our dogs are registered with the American Kennel Club, and if imported, registered with their country of origin.
We follow The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behaviors recommendations regarding puppies. Puppies should/can be socialized before their full vaccinations starting as early as 7-8 weeks of age. Puppies are placed in their homes at 8-weeks of age. This allows for the first vaccinations/wormings and for us to START the socialization process which you, as the owner, must continue in your home.
Please note, we DO NOT SHIP puppies. Puppies must be picked up IN PERSON by their new owners. We do not assume any responsibility or costs associated with transporting your puppy home. All travel arrangements and compliance with airline pet travel regulations is the responsibility of the new owner.
Reservations on our LIJA Spanish Water Dogs are accepted from approved homes. Our next availability of puppies will be 2025.
