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!
