 Ethical breeding practices are at the heart of our program. We are dedicated to responsible breeding that prioritizes the health, temperament, and welfare of our dogs. We follow industry best practices, ensuring that our breeding dogs are well-cared for, well-socialized, and healthy. At Island Canines, we breed for quality, not quantity, and we are committed to producing puppies that will be a joy to their new families. Ensuring that every puppy is raised in a safe, healthy, and loving environment. 

 At Island Canines, the health and well-being of our puppies are our top priority. We ensure that all our breeding dogs undergo comprehensive health testing, including screenings for common breed-specific conditions such as hip dysplasia, eye issues, and heart defects. This helps us maintain the highest standards of health in our puppies. Our puppies are also vaccinated, dewormed, and receive a thorough veterinary check-up before going to their new homes. We are committed to giving each puppy the best start in life and ensuring they grow into healthy, happy companions for their families.  

 Our breeding dogs, the sire and dam, are carefully selected for their excellent temperaments, health, and conformation to breed standards. Both are part of our family and live in a loving, home environment where they receive daily attention and care. We prioritize the health and well-being of our breeding dogs, conducting regular health checks and ensuring they are fit and happy. This focus on the health and temperament of the parent dogs ensures that their puppies inherit not only physical traits but also positive behavioral characteristics, making them the perfect family companions. 

 We understand that bringing a puppy into your home is a big commitment, and we strive to make the process as smooth as possible. To offer you flexibility, we accept a variety of payment methods, including cash, e-Transfer, PayPal, and cryptocurrency. Whether you're paying upfront or using one of our accepted payment options, we are here to guide you through the process and ensure you can welcome your new puppy as soon as possible. Please contact us for more information or assistance with your payment. 

 From birth, we provide our puppies with the highest level of care and attention. During their first few weeks, they undergo Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), which enhances their physical and mental development, promoting traits like confidence and resilience. We also focus on socialization by introducing the puppies to a variety of household sounds, environments, and interactions with other animals. This early exposure helps them grow into well-adjusted dogs that are comfortable in different situations. By the time they’re ready to join their new families, they are confident, balanced, and ready to adapt to their forever homes. 

 At Island Canines, we offer a 2-year health guarantee for every puppy, covering any hereditary health issues that may arise. Our goal is to ensure that you feel confident in your decision to adopt one of our puppies. If you encounter any health issues within the first two years, we will work with you to address the situation. Additionally, we offer a return policy for families who find themselves unable to keep their puppy. Our commitment to responsible pet ownership means we are always here to support you and help rehome the puppy if necessary, ensuring that they always have a safe and loving environment. 

 At Island Canines, we believe that a well-trained puppy is a happy puppy. We provide ongoing support and resources to our puppy families, offering guidance on basic puppy training, behavioral development, and nutrition. We also provide access to training resources and tips to help you set your new puppy up for success. Our goal is to be with you every step of the way as you raise your puppy into a well-behaved and confident dog. Whether you need advice on crate training or solving common behaviour issues, we are always here to help. 

 For families living outside our local area, we offer safe and reliable transportation options to ensure your new puppy arrives safely and well-cared for during the journey. We work closely with a trusted transport truck driver who delivers puppies to Newfoundland and other parts of the Maritimes. We understand how exciting it is to welcome a new puppy into your home, and we take extra care to ensure the journey is comfortable and stress-free. We’ll handle all shipping arrangements with a focus on the puppies’ well-being, so you can have peace of mind knowing your puppy is in safe hands throughout their travel.
