Puppies
We breed only 1 litter per year and know that most of our puppies will be going to loving family homes. Therefore, it is very important to us to breed only those dogs meeting our strict guidelines of health and temperament. All Nursyland puppies are whelped and raised in our home in a family environment and are well socialized with children and other pets.
Your Nursyland puppy will be ready to join your family between 8-10 weeks old. They will have their first round of shots and will be free of internal parasites. We screen all of our breeding pairs for Hip and Elbow Dysplasia as well as PRA (progress retinal atrophy).
Our first priority in placing a puppy is that it will be a valued member of your family as they are ours.
