Puppies are shown to buyers with paid deposits no sooner than 6 to 8 weeks old by appointment in order of deposits received. Buyer must select a litter and gender when paying deposit. Deposits may be rolled one time to another available or future litter prior to submitting commitment / contract agreement. We no longer have the option of inviting the public “to meet the breed” for many reasons related to our insurance provider, our safety, and the inadvertent spread of canine diseases.
Available Puppies
Stay tuned for something fabulous! Email us at kettlepond@protonmail.com to get on our email list. We do not require a deposit to be on it. We are hoping to have puppies by late summer or early fall.
We have another litter just born we can’t advertise on this website per MDBA rules for breeders. Ask us about them!

Please understand...
We get daily requests to “come see the puppies”, so many in fact that we had to put some restrictions around visits. There are five major reasons for this:
1. Disease is spread inadvertently by people visiting other litters and then coming here.
2. We are a private home with grandchildren and a life, not a pet shop.
3. It takes a lot of time to show puppies. Our dogs must all be confined when visitors come. Our house needs to be picked up. Pups need to be clean. It’s a lot of work to show a puppy before you even get here.
4. The avoidance of impulsive puppy purchases for our older puppies. These adoptions usually fail.
5. The number of people who don’t really want a puppy at all but have other motives for coming.
* Therefore we only show puppies to serious buyers, who have researched the breed, know what they want, been through the home approval process, and paid a deposit. Sometimes we make exceptions, but it’s rare.
* We understand some people want to meet the breed first. Our insurance company does not allow our dogs to come in contact with the public. We can give referrals.
