Upcoming Litters

At Happy Hound, our priority is to breed, train, guide and create the best dog possible. It takes us months of rigorous temperament and health evaluations for a puppy to qualify to be placed in our breeding program, including ongoing assessment as an adult dog. Having implemented both the best temperaments and excellent health in our breeding dog selections, along with our training program, we strive to create the best puppy and adult dogs.

Our commitment to our clients begins well before a puppy is adopted from us. We also offer a variety of training programs, communication materials, boutique shop, puppy bonding sessions, client/puppy training session, and aftercare support with each puppy that is adopted. Happy Hound wants to give our clients and their puppies the best foundation to raise a successfully trained, happy, and delightful puppy!
