KnappTyme -- Puppies and Services
We breed our dogs for temperament and quality first. Occasionally, an adult who has exceeded our expectations or has completed his/her career here with KnappTyme will become available, and occasionally, one of our young adults will be looking for a new family. When that happens, they will have their own post right here. Feel free to contact us if one of these dogs interests you.
There are no adult dogs available at this time.
We are proud to be the home of the "Pre-school" puppy!! These puppies (when available) are older pups. They are still babies, but are already over those 'puppy' stages. No chewing, no howling through the night. Still small enough to cuddle on the couch and make you laugh, but old enough to settle right in to being your best friend. They have been raised continuously as house dogs with a pretty good idea about house training. They are crate trained, sleep all night, and are leash trained with some basic obedience. They ride in the car and love to go!! New places are just a new set of friends for them! All age related vaccinations are up to date
and sometimes they are started on their heartworm and parasite prevention is in place.
We currently have: SUMMER: Sweet n quiet, Summer is the best cuddler! She is very easy to get along with and is always up for going out to play or coming in to nap. She already tries to retrieve a ball or tug a rope, but her very favorite game is to 'herd' the remote control truck that Bill runs for them, in the back yard!
And her full sister KATIE: Loving and sassy, Katie is a very clever
girl. She figures out most situations without any help and some-
times before I do! She get the 'idea' very quickly and then figures
out her way to do it. Usually, a better way! Katie does not hesitate
to take on a challenge and will finish it with style, then cuddle on the
couch with you at the end of the day!
Below are the parents of these girls. Both champions and masters at what they do, these girls carry some very smart (and beautiful) genes.
If you have any questions concerning babies, pick-ups, prices or if we can help you further please don't hesitate to contact us. We would love to add you to our family of "Dog-In-Laws"!

Due to the current health concerns, we have had to change the way we do things a little.
We will try to offer limited meet~n~greets but for those of you with deposits submitted only. For an outdoor visit (weather permitting) please contact us for your personal invitation!
Why animal breeders may not invite you in anymore
You’ve probably read somewhere, maybe even from me, that a breeder that won’t let you see where the animals are kept, or meet their animals is a big red flag.
That breeders who won’t let you meet all the animals must be hiding something.
Well that’s no longer true!
Why, you ask?
Because there is a vendetta in the USA right now against breeders, even the really good breeders.
Anti breeder types, be they from HSUS or PETA, other animal rights groups, overzealous animal shelter workers or other similar people are making it their life’s work to get breeders animals seized and stop all breeding.
Many times this involves lying, filing false complaints or worse- setting the breeder up.
Sometimes these people even gain the breeder’s trust or work for them.
No matter how well fed and clean your animals are.
No matter how careful you are to only breed the best and most fully health tested animals
No matter how much time you put into them, or how much money you personally sacrifice to see this thru.
These people are looking to get your dogs seized, to get another “horrible breeder” story in the news, to use you and your animals to get restrictive, extremist laws passed.
Breeders now must not only do their absolute best, they now must guard against those that would destroy their life’s work and the animals they love, for no reason other than hate.
So the next time an animal breeder grills you with questions, or meets you in their driveway, or even at the shopping center in their town, don’t hold it against them - they may just be doing all they can to keep hateful people from destroying all they love.
Please help us with your understanding and cooperation!
Good Starts...
...make...
Great puppies!!!!
