We’re getting excited as we plan our next Kennel in the Pines litter! 🤎 Here’s a little look at what to expect and how our puppy process works. 🌲🐾

This was such a special group, and we’ve loved every minute of having them here. Each puppy has found an amazing family, and we couldn’t be happier for them.

Thank you to all of our wonderful puppy families! 🐾

Everyone did great in the car, handled their vet visit like pros, and got a clean bill of health. Vaccines ✔️ Healthy ✔️ Happy ✔️

These little adventures are all part of helping our puppies grow into confident, well-rounded companions.

A started puppy is simply a puppy who has had extra time to learn, grow, socialize, and build confidence alongside their mama, siblings, and human family here before joining their forever home.

At Kennel in the Pines, our puppies continue learning every day! Depending on age, our started puppies will already be:

• Potty trained & Using a doggy door
• Learning an “implied sit” (sitting politely instead of jumping)
• Responding to their name
• Practicing basic commands like “sit”
• Going on walks and exploring new places
• Riding in vehicles
• Going up and down stairs
• Socialized alongside children, cats, and other dogs
• Getting comfortable with grooming and handling

Why Families Love Started Puppies

With a started puppy, many of the early building blocks are already in place. They often transition into family life more easily because they’ve had additional opportunities to learn routines, build confidence, and experience the world around them.

Another advantage is that their personalities are beginning to shine. Whether a puppy is adventurous, cuddly, easygoing, or eager to learn, families get a much clearer picture of who they are becoming & bringing in to the family.
