As our homepage states, Leah's Luckypup Ranch was founded to provide pet buyers an alternative to pet stores, puppy mills and backyard breeders. Sure we intend to make a profit; but I can assure you we are not getting rich. There is much work involved in caring and providing for all our dogs. If we did not love animals we could not do this. We used to feel sorry for the puppies we saw at pet stores. We hated to see them cooped up in small areas, usually alone, where they could not play or exercise. As you scroll down this page I think you will be impressed with the effort we have made to provide a humane environment for all our dogs; the adults as well as the puppies.
The photos above are of the areas where we put our pups from the time they are weaned from their mother to the time they are eight weeks old. The age they must be in Florida before they can be sold. As you can see they have ample room to play and exercise while still being protected. These are concrete floor areas which are disinfected daily and hosed down several times a day. While in these areas no one, other than our personnel, is allowed to touch our pups. This is done to limit the possibility of transmitting a virus or bacteria; which could be fatal. The pups are not moved from these areas until they are taken to the veterinarian for health certificates and vaccines. All pups are wormed weekly:and fed all the premium food they can eat.
These photos are of the areas our pups are put after they have been checked and given a clean bill of health by the veterinarian. As you can see these areas are much larger than the areas they were kept in before. We let our pups have a good time. They run, play and do the things happy pups do. Raising pups this way requires more work and expense. We feel this is what is required to ensure the new owner will get a well developed and socialized puppy.
We welcome you to visit our facilities to see for yourself the extra effort we put forth to ensure you get a pup who has been given every opportunity to develop to its full potential, both physically and socially.
These last two photos are of the areas where the adult dogs are kept. The areas are larger than most home yards. In addition we let at least two adult dogs out to roam the entire property (22 acres) each day. This way all our adult dogs get some individual attention. This also makes them good pets to someone when they are retired as breeders; usually about 7 years old.
We are animal lovers and would feel guilty if we did not provide proper care and environment for our animals. Why buy a dog, which will become a family member, from any place who does less?
