What can I expect
from a Sonne
Standard Puppy?
What can I expect from a Sonne Standard Puppy?
Our puppies are all born and raised in our home. They are vet-checked
and are up-to-date on vaccinations. Our vet also removes each puppy's
dewclaws and docks its tail to AKC recommended length of 1/2 the tail just
a few days after birth.
Puppies start eating some solid food at four weeks. Our puppies start crate
training for naps and over-nights when they are six weeks old. We begin
using a "Potty-Patch" pad as soon as the puppies start walking. Then we
begin outside training at 6-7 weeks. We begin placing our puppies in their
forever homes when they reach eight weeks of age.
Puppies are vet checked at 6 weeks and receive their first set of puppy
shots. We de-worm the puppies at 2, 4 & 6 weeks. We send pictures and
updates of each puppy so their families can watch them grow while they
wait for the "big day". If you have a name picked out, we start using your
name right away.
When you pick up your puppy
you will receive:
*AKC Limited Registration
*3-Year Health Guarantee
*Shot Records
*Starter Bag Dry Food
*Toy with scent of dam and litter-mates
What form of payment do you accept?
We accept cash or personal checks. If you wish to use a credit card, we can accept those

Continental Airlines. The cost of shipping on Continental is $350. We may also be able
to work with you on delivering by car (fees vary according to distance, but typically range
from $250 - $500). Please contact us directly if you think this will be an issue for you
