Visiting Doublecreek Kennel
People often ask to visit our puppies and see our kennel. We have been
advised by our vet that the general public should not be allowed inside our
kennel and that puppies should not be brought out for prospective buyers
to see until they are at least 5 to 6 weeks of age with some immunity
built up against infectious diseases and illnesses. There is a real danger
that diseases can migrate into our kennel and puppies that are not yet
vaccinated will be susceptible to these viruses and bacteria.
We provide photos of our puppies, dogs and kennels on our website. You
can also see a live picture on our monitor from my house, if you come to
see a puppy. Then, if you have reserved a puppy with us, once the litter
is born we send out photos by e-mail each week so families can watch the
puppies grow! Once the puppies are about 6 weeks old, if you are on a
reservation list you will be able to come and visit the puppies in an area
separate from the main kennel.
We realize families would like to come and visit to see puppies and our
dogs, but in order to protect people's puppies and our own dogs we have
been advised that we must follow this limited visitor's policy. There was
an instance in a neighboring county of a terrible tragedy where an entire
litter of puppies and their mother died in a three day period after having
been accidentally exposed to parvo virus brought in by a visitor who had
been to the county Humane Society before visiting the kennel. The risks
are very real.
Thank you for understanding our protective policy. Our kennels are clean,
well ventilated, heated, air conditioned and sterilized daily. Our adult
dogs are very healthy, groomed and bathed often. We provide optimal
conditions for healthy dogs and puppies. We would love for people to be
able to come in and see our facilities that we are very proud of, but
simply cannot do this if we are to protect people's puppies and our dogs!
