Frequently Asked Questions

We have been breeding dogs for over 20 years.

We believe in breeding healthy and happy dogs with excellent temperaments.

Our puppies are born inside our home and raised in our in-home puppy nurseries. We have rooms in our home that are dedicated to our puppies and their mommas. Our puppies are handled daily, and there is always someone there to care for their needs. Our family takes pride in knowing that we’ve laid the foundation for an emotionally stable puppy, and we love hearing about how social our puppies are with their fur-ever families.  

Rocco Kennels guarantee our puppy’s health for 72 hours after sale. During these 72 hours it is recommended that your puppy be checked by a licensed veterinarian, this visit is required for this health guarantee to be valid. We do not cover for any internal parasites (Coccidia, Giardia, Worms etc.) once the puppy leaves Rocco Kennels.   

We guarantee the health of the puppy from all life threatening genetic/hereditary diseases until 12 months. If the pup is found to have a life threatening genetic/hereditary disease, Rocco Kennels will replace the pup with a pup of equal value.  

We will vaccinate the pups just before they leave our care. We will use 'Spectra 5' which is a 5 in 1 vaccine and covers distemper, parvo, adenovirus, and  parainfluenza. We also worm them starting at two weeks and continue to do so for the 8 weeks they are with us. We will provide records for you to give to your veterinarian.   

Yes, we can deliver puppies to most locations within the United States. See our Payment and Pick-up page for more details.

Pricing depends greatly on the breed, line the puppy comes from, gender, and the color/pattern. Most puppies are placed with limited AKC registration. See our Payment and Pick-up page for more details.

Our puppies do not leave our care until a minimum of 8 weeks of age. We will arrange a date and time with you for pickup.  In some cases, if we feel a puppy needs to stay longer, we will hold them until we feel they are ready to leave our care. 

We take photos of the pups after their eyes open at 2-3 weeks.  Expect individual photos after that time. 

 We are very careful with our litters. These little pups are not vaccinated against disease.  We typically take deposits after they are born, and the entire litter is placed based on photos alone. Contact us with any special requests. 

Your deposit is transferrable to another puppy. If a pup is available, we will most likely approve a transfer. We make great effort and spend time documenting your puppies growth and health.  We send photos and detailed information to the new owners. This is the purpose of the deposit, this takes time and resources. This is why the deposit is non-refundable. 

We do our best to answer questions. We encourage you to follow us on Facebook for updates too! We require all potential buyers to fill out our puppy application. This way we can track your full names, what you are interested in, and have your contact information all in one place. 

Most of our pups are placed in 4-5 weeks based on photos alone. We cannot hold multiple pups for one customer with one deposit.
