Our pets are subject to a PROFESSIONAL CARE STANDARD WITH 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE. Every year in America, approximately half of those who buy or adopt puppies (all of them thinking this won't happen to me) experience unexpected vet bills that could have easily been prevented (some excessive) immediately after purchasing the cheapest, cutest, and most conveniently located puppies.....raised by inexperienced pet owners who don't really know how to properly care for them. Many young puppies go home and die from contaminating viruses requiring sterilization of homes, grounds, and properties even after expensive treatments because the puppy wasn't given Neopar at 5 weeks of age. We at HealthyPups offer puppies for sale with a history of 0 viral losses for many years now. Because our preventative neonatal veterinary care standard is advanced, the Veterinary Medical Board has sent me a letter stating that I can no longer advertise details of it without a license to practice medicine:) This letter has been laminated and proudly displayed on the bulletin board in our nursery.  30 years experience means that our pets are the best choice for the intelligent buyer who expects their new puppy to not need unexpected veterinary care tomorrow...at a price that in most cases is equal to what the veterinary care already provided the pet would have likely cost you! Come discover why your puppy should be bred only by the most experienced care giver, and why so many educated medical professionals would never even consider buying a puppy from the home of a novice pet owner, or adopting a free pet with an incorrect care standard! This web site is a convenient way to see our puppies,  and also a great opportunity to learn which breeds are better with children, more intelligent, easiest to house train, genetically healthier, and cheapest to own! LEARN about different and most affordable ways to eliminate shedding and to deal with human allergies!

BEWARE of cute photoshopped pictures (one of the reasons why we show pets on video) too cute with prices too low to be true. The newspapers and internet are filled with scams of brokers and con artists who don't even have pets for sale.  You should never agree to send money for shipping, reserving a puppy, etc, without doing lots of research. I constantly receive calls from folks who have lost money.  You should also never buy a pet from someone who will only agree to ship to you or meet you somewhere, and does not want you visit their location to see pets in person. Most of these folks will tell you they are trying to protect their pets from the spread of disease or that you would get lost trying to find them as a ploy to keep you from seeing their animal care situation:)

Puppies are very expensive in some areas of the world, and cost much less in others. If you live in one of those areas where puppies cost more, we invite you to come visit here to buy your next puppy OR let us SHIP ONE TO YOU!  Our clients often save 50% or more, as compared with buying a pet in their local area! Please call us at (336) 957-3609 or email with any questions! For quick contact, please call.  Approximately half my emails get caught in the quarantine filter, and are delivered only once per 24 hours. email-  iblackburn@wilkes.net

Did you know that a much higher percentage of pets used for breeding purposes in the home are likely to go to shelters than those kept by professional breeders? This is why so many skilled animal care professional people want to make it illegal to breed house pets. Dogs that are not spayed and neutered mark their territory and exhibit many other undesirable sexual behaviors in the home! And, of course, pets that are spayed or neutered can't have puppies, SO where are puppies going to come from??? Rescue people who truly know about dogs realize that they must have dogs to rescue to continue their business and income.  This is why they suggest that breeding dogs be in homes with people, knowing that many will be evicted to shelters later, while creating  public perception that they are doing a good work. They also create the same perception when they raid kennels and take breeding dogs away from breeders, knowing that it's virtually impossible to house train an older, unaltered pet, and not caring if that pet is eventually abandoned in a shelter after being taken from a place where he was more likely to have been secure and would not be evicted for reproductive behaviors.

Every idiot who thinks that all breeding dogs should live in the home with people instead of in a commercial breeding facility should be SENTENCED TO 15 YEARS, imprisoned in their home WITH A PET THAT CONSTANTLY marks his territory, comes in season and discharges blood throughout the home, howls or cries all night, tries to chew a hole in the wall to get outside and find a boyfriend, etc. The only successful way to keep an unaltered pet from marking his terroritory indoors is to make all of them wear diapers! Are you up for that challenge? Could you live with those behaviors for 20 years and not evict your pet from your home and send him to the shelter? Can you believe those bleeding heart television commercials are brainwashing public to send these rescue terrorists their money and to make you think that every commercial breeder is a puppy mill, just to keep the donation money flowing? If you love animals, you should donate to your local shelter ONLY, or volunteer to work there. Your efforts and money should go to help animals, NOT to make the founders of rescue organizations, some of which are considered domestic terrorists by the U. S. government, wealthy!

A domestic "animal issue" terrorist is someone who wants to attack others, change the law to fit their warped agenda without caring about the rights of others, organize demonstrations, undertake their own investigation, attack our public officials, shut down the gas chamber at the local shelter even though many veterinary professionals agree that euthanized animals suffer less with gas than with lethal injection, etc. The ONLY thing that works is to get your pet spayed or neutered and don't try to breed your house pet ... this is the best way to help keep them out of the shelter! You can learn more about these issues if you read the remainder of this page.

Our political leaders, almost all of which know very little about animal care that actually works, love dogs so much that they have given some animal rescue groups tax exempt status. (You should ask to see their IRS disclosure form if they claim to be non-profit.) Though most local Humane Societies, etc., are wonderful organizations that do a good work in helping unwanted pets find homes, some animal rights groups are privately owned for personal profit, and are in no way related to or a part of the local humane societies that we know, trust, and love. They prey upon the sympathies of pet owners to convince them to send more money that can be used at their discretion for a small amount of animal upkeep expenses, lavish personal expenses, and huge executive salaries that provide a wealthy lifestyle for the rescue owner(s) and surrounding friends or family. They constantly brainwash and recruit volunteer disciples, and convince them to help search out and shut down the puppy mills. They then search for and attempt to shut down kennel owners, most of which do a good job, in order to keep those tax exempt Hollywood donations flowing. The threats of rescue organizations also encourages breeders to euthanize any animal that is less than perfect, because no one wants to be the next "abused animal" story on the news.

They create an extreme double standard in preying upon the sympathies of dog lovers! FOR EXAMPLE, it is considered normal for adult humans to lose their teeth as they grow older, yet any dog that is comparably older with bad teeth will be on the news as an example of neglect:( You should be glad these rescue terrorists don't work at an organization dealing with human issues, because if dealing with humans in the same way that they deal with animal issues, they would likely- TAKE YOUR GRANDMOTHER AWAY BECAUSE HER TEETH ARE BAD OR MISSING (if they could get you to send money for their personal profit and make you believe you were saving her)! SHUT DOWN THE HOSPITAL AND CALL SOCIAL SERVICES TO RESCUE THE SICK PEOPLE IN THERE. FILE SUIT AGAINST DOCTORS AND PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS BECAUSE BABIES ARE BORN WITH BIRTH DEFECTS, GET THE DOCTOR SHUT DOWN AND TAKE HIS PATIENTS AWAY BECAUSE A BABY GOT SICK AFTER GOING HOME, ETC.

No one can care for any living thing without an occasional health problem. Breeders should not be harassed because of minor illnesses in pets, as long as they honor warranties and try to help the buyer solve the problem. Check with your local Better Business Bureau or search for gossip in online chat forums, and you may find complaints against your favorite vet or any other specialist who deals with these issues. It is sad that so many people in our country lack common sense to know how difficult it is, and how much experience it takes to successfully deal with animal health issues. After adopting pets for 30 years, I have learned that a sick animal gets all of the attention, while healthy puppies and happy people go without notice. Hands on experience is the only way for anyone to learn to care for animals.  Because puppies don't have the same right as human children to get sick in our society, and because puppies do get sick and cause breeders to be attacked and shut down by brainwashed animal lovers with no common sense, how can anyone in the future ever learn to care for puppies without being closed down before they learn how to do a good job. I don't know where healthy puppies are to come from in the future of our country. It took years to for me to learn how to successfully prevent health issues from occurring in the puppies we sell to public, and I was less successful in preventing problems in the early years as now. In today's society, even when the buyer of a baby puppy fails to follow instructions, the breeder always gets the blame for a health issue in a puppy, and it gets harder to deal with public because pet owners are brainwashed as to animal care and health issues by the rescue cons. These rescue terrorists seem to think it's OK for half the people in America to spend more at the vet than they pay for their puppies they buy from inexperienced care givers, and it's OK for 50% of puppies adopted at public shelters to go home and die, while breeders are blogged and attacked in media for even the slightest problem by public with no common sense.  Their game is to prey upon public pet sympathies and keep the donations flowing.

Yes, I'll bet you thought all of your save the animals donations being solicited through those bleeding heart commercials was being spent on the animals, didn't you? You can learn more about these con artist terrorists and the struggles of professional breeders with them at www.usabreeders.com.This is also a good website to visit if you want to learn how to respond to threats if you are being harassed over an animal issue. It may be that you want to join their anti¬terrorism fight and maintain that the American public DOES have a right to have places to go and buy a healthy professionally maintained pet at a fair price! If you are an ethical breeder who is being harassed or investigated by animal rights groups who have no jurisdiction over your business, you should report this to your local sheriff and your government representatives. It is possible that they can be prosecuted and you recover losses under Public Law 102-346, The Animal Enterprise Protection Act.

The public through the liberal media is constantly brainwashed to believe that anyone who has even a small group of dogs is a "puppy mill." Every time a bad situation is discovered, these events are given top priority in media coverage. Professional breeders are judged by an unfair standard regarding health issues and living circumstances of the pets. Not all buyers will follow care instructions with puppies, and not all animal care professionals have common sense to properly identify and treat health issues. Every time someone buys a puppy from a professional breeder and it develops a health issue, the fact that the dog got sick immediately results in the breeder being called a "puppy mill". Rescue people will always tell the public to adopt at the shelter, even though it is common for 50% or more of shelter puppies to go home and die, because preying upon pet sympathies results in billions in donations for them! It can take an entire lifetime of experience to learn to properly identify and treat health issues in pets. Because professional breeders have much more experience than pet owners, you are much more likely to get a healthy pet from a good professional breeder than from a hobby breeder/pet owner or from the shelter. Because of pet sympathies, the media knows that attacking "puppy millers" is information that sells their product. Some animal rights advocates and dog hobbyists would even like to blame professional breeders that so many unwanted dogs are euthanized in shelters, but many of these shelter dogs would never be adopted even if other puppies were not available, because few people want large breed mixes for indoor pets.

Because governmental legislators with the assistance of veterinary professionals in the United States have set forth standards governing the keeping of animals within the United States, we have chosen to raise our puppies in a USDA Standard animal care facility. Our facility was licensed and inspected by The N.C. Department of Agriculture through June, 2002, at which time an exemption was given qualifying animal dealers who choose not to auction animals or sell to pet stores. Since we do not and have never sold to pet stores, inspections are now the responsibility of local Animal Control. After caring for animals since 1982, I have learned that there is no other way to raise puppies and keep them healthy. They must be raised in a facility in which all surfaces can be cleaned and sterilized. Only breeders with a USDA Standard Facility are eligible for licensure. This is why a growing number of nations around the world will only accept imported puppies from licensed dealers! If you have questions concerning the representation and treatment of animals you may write to those persons (DIRECTOR OF ANIMAL CONTROL, local veterinarians, humane society officers, law enforcement officers, etc.) who voluntarily serve as contacts on our references page!

Are you a brainwashed by the media pet lover who thinks dogs raised in kennels need to be rescued? What gave you the idea that pets kept in the home are happier than kennel pets? How would you like for someone to spay/neuter you, never allow you to do love, marriage, and family, and decide how and where you were to live without your consent? Could it be that your beloved house pet would choose to live in our kennel in a protected and cared for colony with other members of his own kind if you allowed him to choose between playing house with girlfriends and having his private parts removed to a life of celibacy just to spend most of his time in another cage with you? I recently received an email from another breeder which read that a horse group was discussing the fact that I keep dogs in cages and enclosures, and how evil they thought it was that they were not free to roam. I immediately wondered if their horses had as much room in their stalls and pens as do my dogs, and I wondered if any of those hypocrites had ever considered the consequences of turning any of those horses loose to run free where they choose!

The licensed vets and legislators who wrote the Animal Welfare Act years ago knew that it is impossible to sterilize the home, backyard, or barnyard environment and that it's almost impossible to get rid of disease in those environments once animals and their surroundings become infested. They also knew that people who raise puppies in the backyard or in cages outdoors can't be sure that a raccoon or skunk with rabies didn't slobber through the wire last night before selling the pup to you! This is why it is AGAINST THE LAW for people without a USDA license to sell to pet stores. Although your home is likely a safe place for your pup, vets and lawmakers thought the pups raised by pet owners in homes, backyards, and barns were not healthy enough for retail sale, yet buyers looking for the cheapest pup are dumb enough to buy from them! I talked to someone last week who bought a puppy from an entire litter that had rabies. Shots for his family cost approximately $10,000.00. His health insurance provider refused to pay, arguing that they could not be sure that an exposure had occurred. Don't you deserve better? I once had someone drive from south Florida to reserve one of our beagles after his neighbor had tried to give him one for free. I learned that he had gotten scabies as a child years ago from a free puppy that his father had brought home that had been raised in the back yard. He claimed the experience was worse than being covered from head to toe with poison oak and the worst thing he had ever been through. Although pets raised indoors are less likely to have this happen, ivermectin given periodically is the only sure way to prevent it. (This should not make you hesitant to buy a pet, because scabies almost never occurs in properly cared for adult dogs, since heart worm preventatives contain ivermectin.) This is primarily an issue for puppies too young to be given heart worm preventatives.

*Most of the breeds that we offer (except our smaller Chihuahuas) are the correct size to be healthy, climb the stairs without assistance and, unlike the smallest (3 Ib.) breeds, are not likely to get diabetes or have allergy problems requiring shots and medications. This can save you $5000.00+ in shots & pills over the next 10 years! *Most of our breeds have short hair. This can save you enough haircut and maintenance money over the next 10 years to buy a nice used car and reduce fleas and ticks brought into the home by the pet!!! *Most of the breeds that we offer almost never have disagreeable personalities and everyone loves them! This lessens the chance that your puppy will grow up to be aggressive with the kids or with the neighbor's dog so you'll like him later! * I have the experience in taking the calls of people like you since 1982 who are looking for a new pet; many of which have had negative experiences with their past pet. The opportunity to talk to me and learn from the experiences of thousands of pet owners means that you can use these experiences to make an intelligent choice! Owners are much more likely to have specific problems with certain breeds. Buying a pet with unhealthy genetics just because your neighbor has one that you think is cute is like marrying someone with a fatal disease. There are other considerations other than your attraction to the way it looks! To fall in love and make a friend is PRICELESS! 

Many jealous past and present "snob and show breeders" who so often get in discussion forums and attack kennel owners, want to exploit the animals without spending money to properly house and care for them. These are the people who think God has appointed them Lord of a" dogs when they call to tell me they want to come inspect my facility so they might consider buying a pet here. It amazes me to think that these self-righteous people are so dumb that they think any person could raise pets at the same address since 1982 and not be shut down by the authorities if they were not doing a good job. They also in most cases only raise one type of pet that they have for sale, so they have no interest in fair and balanced pet ownership education that might make the buyer consider issues other than "cuteness". Their goal is too often selling the buyer what they have, without worrying if they wlll like it later. These snob in-home breeder/pet owners are more responsible for unwanted shelter dogs than a good professional breeder. These are the people who concentrate on breeding dogs in the home without a proper place to keep them. Rescue people are taught to shout "Don't shop, Adopt!". They think that all dogs should be raised in the home, because most know very little about these issues except how to scratch them behind the ears. The small breed pets bred and sold in this situation are more likely to go to shelters because of undesirable behaviors that are a part of the reproductive process since they are not spayed or neutered, and because the hobby breeder often doesn't educate to improve the chances that the buyer will like his pet later. It is my opinion and a longtime requirement that we've asked of those who have bought our pets for many years now, that all personal pets should be spayed or neutered if they are to be living in the home with people. Living in a kennel, rather than a human home, offers the unaltered pet the security of having a home that it will not be evicted from in spite of unwanted behaviors normal to the reproductive process. Only an idiot would think that all dogs should live in homes with humans and not in kennels, because the end result would be more dogs sent to shelters because the pet owner can't tolerate urinating in the floor, marking their territory, coming in season, etc. This is why so many professional people now favor mandatory spay/neuter of all pets not kept by professional breeders. Home hobby breeders and show enthusiasts don't even come close to satisfying public demand for small breed puppies, because many of those who try to raise pets in the home are not able to be tolerant of unwanted behaviors for long periods of time before the pet gets kicked out of the home. If good kennels did not exist, there would be a huge shortage of small breed puppies, driving prices so high that only the wealthy could afford to buy one. More pets than ever before would go to shelters, since they then would be bred in a place where they are likely to be evicted for peeing in the floor, marking their territory, etc. The cost of veterinary care would also increase, since there would likely not be enough affordable personal pets to support the continued existence of veterinary practices as we have them today.
