for a LRR puppy
How to Apply
At the Little Retriever Ranch, each puppy is carefully bred from health-tested parent dogs who receive exceptional care, ensuring a healthy foundation. Raised in a nurturing home, our puppies are exposed to various sounds, textures, and environments, promoting excellent socialization skills. We initiate crate training early to help your puppy adjust smoothly to their new home. From day three to sixteen, our puppies undergo early neurological stimulation, enhancing their development. Upon joining your family, your puppy will come with a vet-checked health record, deworming, a puppy go-home kit, puppy registration papers, and starter puppy insurance. Choosing an LRR puppy means welcoming a well-prepared, socialized companion into your home!
