Meet Our Family
Welcome to Pawsitively purfect cavapoos ! We are so happy you found us! We are a small, loving, in-home, family breeder. We do this because we love it. Our dogs have brought so much happiness to our home and we love watching our puppies bring happiness to others by bringing joy, laughter and warming hearts and homes with love and companionship. We also love working together, as a family, to raise puppies. We live in the beautiful state of Utah and have 5 children and two sons-in-law, a daughter-in-law, and four beautiful grandchildren. We all take part with the puppies and mama and daddy dogs in some way. We are an active family that loves to do lots of different things together.
We are passionate about our dogs and about every single puppy born here! Each puppy we raise becomes a huge part of our family and is raised as if it were our own. We carefully nurture, train, and raise puppies to be lifetime family members destined for your loving home. Our puppies are always with us and are well socialized with many people of all ages and with our other dogs. We live on a 1/2 acre with a fenced yard, ideal for raising puppies.
Our puppies are whelped and raised inside our home and live in our master bedroom, dining room, main floor family room. They hear family noises, smell the smells of cooking and are constantly included and watched over and loved. We also have a bonus room, or a dedicated puppy nursery in the center of our home where we have lots of playtime and exposures of different items and toys, etc. We don’t use our garage, outside separate kennels or detached nurseries to keep dogs or puppies in. Although we have a garage and basement, we can’t overstate how strongly we feel about having all of our puppies raised inside our home with us and being treated as family members from the start. We have many stimulating toys, sounds, activities, etc., we perform daily with our puppies so they are prepared for many experiences they may encounter in life. We also begin a good, structured foundation for potty and crate-training. Most of our puppies are doing well with potty raining and are sleeping through the night in crates when they go home. Our mamas are family and are precious to us and are always treated like queens. They are free to roam our home and are never boxed into whelping rooms, stalls, nurseries or left alone. We health test our parents and honor our mamas by not over breeding them, we give them healthy diets, we bathe and groom them often, and give them an abundance of love and attention. Most of our mamas live with our family or close family friends and several of them have Instagram accounts where you can follow and watch them living as happy and loving dogs.
Our Unique Approach To Breeding
🐾 Not a Kennel 🐾 Raised in Home 🐾 Health-Tested Dogs
Our mission is to breed healthy, well socialized, amazing family pets. We have a small number of moms and litters. All of our puppies are raised in the middle of a home and family. We are not a kennel and we believe in quality over quantity. We are very hands on with our puppies and spend a lot of time with them and that would not be possible with too many litters at once. We do not mass produce puppies and do not keep our puppies in a garage or shed like some breeders. We are also very transparent and post videos and live videos and pictures daily on instagram. Make sure you know where your breeder raises the puppies. Make sure you face time or see videos of where the puppies are born and raised! Anyone can take a cute picture, or a video of the puppies in the living room. But where do they spend the majority of their day and life? Our puppies are raised 100% in our home. They have their own designated puppy rooms which are clean, bright, and specifically for our puppies! All of our puppies are bred with a purpose. All of our dogs live with us or in guardian homes with their forever families. This allows them to be a part of a family, live in a home, and be spoiled and well taken care of. Our dogs are loved immensely. The puppies are extremely well socialized and cared for. We want to be certain that our dogs receive the best possible care and receive what they need to be the best mothers and have healthy happy puppies. If our partner breeder is raising the litter it will be noted on the upcoming litter information.
All of our dams are DNA health tested through Embark as well as OFA tested. OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) testing is expensive and time consuming, so many breeders simply do not do the testing. Instead, they say their dogs are “health checked or vet checked”, which is not the same thing as DNA or OFA tested. A vet can not simply give an exam and know what genetic diseases the dog may be carrying, nor can they simply examine the dog and know what their hips, heart, elbows, patellas look like without x-rays (OFA hips require anesthesia and only certain vets are OFA certified). We believe that this is one area that sets us apart from other breeders. If we are using our own stud they are also DNA and OFA tested. If we are using an outside stud they will be DNA tested but may or may not be OFA tested.
When buying a puppy, it’s absolutely essential that the parents have had their DNA and OFA testing done. Cavaliers are prone to heart problems, poodles are prone to knee problems, Retrievers are prone to hip problems. There are specific genetic diseases that are common in each breed. You do not want to end up with expensive vet bills or heartbreak later down the road. That is why we put the time and money into properly health testing our dogs. Quality is our priority.
Because we are not a kennel and we put our mothers’ and puppies’ health and well-being first and foremost above anything else, we have limited number of available puppies each year. Make sure to reserve yours to make sure you don’t miss out on adding a wonderful new puppy to your family.
