Our Breeding Program

From birth until they join their new families at around ten weeks of age, our puppies are raised in our home using Puppy Culture protocols. Their early development includes early neurological stimulation, age-appropriate socialization, confidence-building exercises, grooming and handling, and foundations for potty training, leash walking, and good manners.

Puppy & Dog Pricing

Premier Truffles puppies are $5,000

​

Premier Truffles puppies are placed as companion dogs with limited AKC registration. Breeding rights are not included, and our contract includes a spay/neuter requirement.

​

Show or breeding prospects are considered separately and require prior approval and a separate written agreement with Premier Truffles.

​

A $750 deposit is required once a placement has been approved. The remaining balance of $4,250 is due when the puppy reaches 7 weeks of age. If a puppy is already more than 10 weeks old when placement is approved, payment in full is required at that time.

​

Other Placement Options​

Premier Truffles Adult Dogs
$4,500–$7,500

Pricing reflects the individual dog’s age, temperament, training, experience, and development.

​

Older Puppies & Young Adults

Dogs approximately 6 months to 2 years old may be available from time to time. Pricing is determined individually based on the dog’s age, temperament, training, experience, and placement needs.

How Puppy Matching Works

Families receive updates as the litter grows while we observe each puppy's personality, confidence, energy level, working style, and individual needs.

​

At Day 49, each puppy is evaluated by an independent temperament evaluator in an unfamiliar location. I am present only as an observer and do not handle, cue, or influence the puppies during testing.

​

Those results are considered alongside seven weeks of daily observation to help determine which puppy is most likely to thrive with each approved family.

​

Placement is about the right match—not simply color, markings, or who chooses first.

Puppy Transportation

For their safety, Premier Truffles puppies are not shipped as unattended cargo.

​

Families are welcome to pick up their puppy in Florence, Oregon. Depending on destination and scheduling, personal delivery or an in-cabin flight accompanied by an adult may also be arranged.

 

Transportation costs are discussed individually and are the responsibility of the buyer

Our Health Guarantee
& Lifetime Support

 

Every Premier Truffles puppy receives age-appropriate preventive care and a veterinary examination or health check before going home. Families receive available health records and guidance for continued care.

Our lifetime genetic guarantee covers dogs clinically affected by four inherited conditions:

  • Lagotto Storage Disease (LSD)

  • Benign Familial Juvenile Epilepsy (BFJE)

  • Hyperuricosuria (HUU)

  • Degenerative Myelopathy (DM)

Your puppy must be examined by a licensed veterinarian within 96 hours of coming home, excluding weekends and legal holidays. Qualifying findings must be reported within 24 hours of diagnosis, with supporting veterinary documentation.

Approved claims provide one suitable replacement puppy, subject to availability and the contract’s requirements. Coverage excludes carrier status alone and does not generally include refunds, veterinary bills, or transportation expenses. Please review the full contract for covered conditions, exclusions, and claim requirements.

We remain available for questions throughout your dog’s life. If you can no longer care for your dog, contact us—your dog always has a home with Premier Truffles.
