Frequently asked questions.
Are your dog’s health tested?
All our dogs are health tested to the OFA CHIC standard.
Can I pick out my puppy?
I do allow puppy owners to pick out their puppy in some litters, but I strongly recommend you enlist my help, as I have been around them the most. You will pick out your puppy from photos and videos at seven weeks old. I do not do any Facetime calls.
Do you breed dilutes? (Silver, Charcoal, Champagne)
Absolutely not. We are a dilute-free program and none of our dogs carry the dilute gene.
What do you feed your dogs?
I feed all my dogs Victor Multi-Pro or Diamond Sensitive Skin&Stomach.
Do you sell your dogs on full registration?
All puppies are sold on limited registration unless discussed and approved by me. I will sell dogs on full registration(breeding rights) on a case-by-case basis.
Can we visit our puppy?
At Dutton Dog Co., our top priority is the health and well-being of our puppies. We understand that many families are eager to meet their puppy before they’re ready to go home, but we have a strict policy of not allowing visitors, and we want to explain why.
Young puppies are highly vulnerable to illness before they’ve completed their vaccinations. Serious diseases like parvovirus and distemper can survive on shoes, clothing, or even hands — and a visitor could unknowingly introduce these risks to our puppies and adult dogs.
To protect them, we maintain strict biosecurity protocols and limit all outside exposure during these critical early weeks. This keeps our puppies safe and ensures they grow into healthy, happy companions.
Additionally, minimizing visitors reduces stress on mother dogs and their litters. Puppies need a calm, consistent environment as they develop both physically and behaviorally.
While we know this policy may feel disappointing, it is in place solely to protect the puppies. We are committed to keeping families involved throughout this process by providing regular photos, videos, and updates so you can watch your puppy grow and thrive until they are ready to come home.
Thank you for understanding and supporting our commitment to responsible breeding and puppy care.
