About Us

Family is what it's ALL about!

Pictured is our 3 grandchildren playing with the Neo puppies, one of which is almost as big as Logan and topples him over trying to give him kisses! They love to get the puppies out and play with them when they are here...and they are here a lot! The Cavalier puppy that is pictured on our Homepage (now named Henry who resides in Florida) was one of my grandson's (Logan) favorite! He was very sad to see him go, so I took him with me to the airport when Henry left and he held him the whole way there. I reasured him that Henry was going to a VERY good home and he needn't worry. A BIG THANK YOU goes out to Jill (Henry's new owner) for her help in resuring Logan as well! My Grandaughter (Bailey) loves to push the puppies around in the puppy stroller...that is when she doesn't have one or sometimes two of them carrying in her arms! The first thing I hear when they come is " Grandma when can we get the puppies out and play with them!" Dalton our oldest grandson well...he just loves them all! All three of them are a BIG help when they are here. They really do enjoy helping with the puppies and they know EXACTLY what to do and HOW to do it! Their two favorites are helping with the pictures and watching the puppies drink their milk! They certainly do a fine job acting silly and goofy to get the puppy's attention so I can take the pics! When it comes to the puppies drinking their milk...the grandkids just can't get over how they stand there and lick their lips waiting for their milk and when they it, it's gone it seconds!

We were blessed with 3 GREAT kids, 2 daughters, Shannon & Lacey and 1 son Adam. We are extremely proud of them and their accomplishments and most of all they are always there when we need them.

We currently have three grandchildren, 2 grandsons Dalton & Logan, 1 granddaughter Bailey and we are expecting a 4th to be on the way soon!

We also have 4 granddoggers! Jersey (Boxer), Whicket (Shih-Tzu), Beshu (Shih-Tzu) & Roxie (Boxer).

Pedigree Pets was born out of our love for a pair of Siberian Huskys (Malicah and Starr) and has grown into a passion for all breeds.  I research each and every breed before we bring it into Pedigree and we do not breed or raise any vicious dogs here.  We do not buy other peoples litters for resale or sell to Pet Stores, Brokers or Puppy Mills and I have NEVER thought twice about turning people down on my puppies and I have done so on several occassions. It is our responsibility to make sure that each and EVERY puppy goes into a loving and caring home.

All puppies are born right here at Pedigree Pets with both parents on site. We are AKC inspected and for those of you who are not famililar with AKC inspected kennels, Ill tell you a little about it. It is a very extensive inspection from the American Kennel Club. We have an inspector come here from the American Kennel Club (with no prior notice), he inspects our dogs, puppies, living conditions, exercise areas, even the food and water containers plus the paperwork and everything MUST pass inspection and rest assured, we do. I ask my inspector what his definition of a puppy mill was and he said to me "Rhonda, you would be amazed at what I've seen, you can have just 4 or 5 dogs and be a puppy mill it ALL depends on how the dogs and puppies are cared for". Please keep this in mind when you are searching for your new puppy.

Our facilities here are very nice, we have several delivery rooms for the mommies that are individually heated, sound proofed, vented, with artifial and natural lighting.  Each room is on a visual and audial monitor.  Their whelping beds are also heated.  We also have a nursery here at Pedigree Pets.  Our facilities also include a washer/dryer, dishwasher, Microwave and grooming station.  Everyone has clean blankets, toys, water bottles, and treats daily.  They have heat in the winter and AC in the summer, they have a really big play areas to run in daily and they are very well versed in several kinds of music, along with news and even ballgames!! We're all about the Cultured Canine!

Now for the BIG DOG kennels.  We have 4 seperate runs, which have 10'x12' kennels with concrete foundation, electric, water and sunblocks in the summer.  All have huge exercise areas for the dogs to run daily.  The kennels get cleaned and hosed on a daily basis and sanitized weekly.

The puppies de-worming program starts at two weeks of age. The puppies are seperated from mom at 6 weeks of age, at that time they receive their 1st set of shots and are given their Kennel Cough vaccine. They are also started on a skin & coat supplement (Theracoat) that is also good for all major internal organs and helps reduce any shedding issues, liquid vitamins, medicated water that is filled with electrolytes and nutrients. They are also given puppy milk (powdered) once a day with a little of Karo corn syrup (white) in it. They LOVE it!! They actually lips their lips waiting with such anticipation! It's gone in a matter of minutes sometimes seconds! The puppies here eat Iams puppy food and the large breed puppies are on Iams large breed puppy food.  All puppies will leave here current on shots, have their Kennel Cough vaccine and current on their de-worming program. All puppies come with a written health guarantee. The liquid vitamins and the Theracoat that the puppies are already on can be purchased here in the Boutique, so you can continue their healthy growth and developement.  We also provide you with a 7-Day Potty Training schedule that really works! Your new puppy will be VERY well accustomed with his/her grooming process before joing their new family. Most of the puppies are ready for their families at 8 weeks of age with the exception of the T-Cups, I don't allow them to leave until they are 10-12 weeks of age.

Shipping By Air:  The puppies fly via Commercial Airlines: Northwest/Delta or Continental Airlines. The shipping is available at an additional cost. The shipping is $300.00 (standard shipping) for a small puppy. I do not charge anything for my time or travel. This does include airfare, new crate, health certificate, insurance on the puppy and the flight, food dish & water bottle, toys to keep the puppy occupied during the flight and a sweater if needed. If VIP/Dash shipping is needed or preferred that is an additional $100.00. The shipping on the larger breeds may be more depending on size and weight of the puppy. For the larger breeds I will call the airline and get a shipping quote. I also call the airline to verify the shipping status (on all puppies) to the airport of your choice. This is to verify that the puppy can fly standard shipping or whether VIP/DASH shipping is needed. You will then be notified of the shipping status and no flights will be booked without your prior approval. Puppies can be shipped to you Monday - Friday and flights can be booked up to 10 days in advance. I do require 24-48 hours in preparing the puppy for his/her flight. This does include, booking the flight, getting his/her health certificate (Vet appt.) and grooming your new puppy. When the puppy leaves my hands at the airport he/she is clean and in a clean crate, most of the puppies arrive in the same condition, but they do sometimes have accidents in their crate during the flight. I do apologgize in advance if this does occur. I do recommend that you bring some paper towels, baby wipes and a bag to dispose of the waste should the puppy have an accident during his flight and you would need to clean his/her crate.

Shipping into Canada: I can ship (via air) into Montreal & Toronto for the standard shipping price of 300.00.

Ground Shipping: Ground shipping is now available on the East Coast through Puppy Express Delivery (at buyers expense) on any of our puppies large or small. The rates for ground transport through Puppy Express Delivery start at 200.00 and cash on deliverly is required.

I have searched for a long time to find someone that would transport my puppies by ground with the same love and care that they are accustomed to here. Then I was fortunate enough to find Clint Little...I was impressed and it takes a lot to impress me! I know that when my puppy goes from my hands to his, that I don't need to worry a bit and neither will you. But...unfortunately he only travels the east coast, so now I need to find a ground transport for the west coast, so...my search continues. 

Ground shipping is avaulable for the West Coast through Uship (at buyers expense)Please call for estimate on ground shipping.

NOTE: I will need your zipcode to get an estimate through Uship. Please understand that this is an estimate only. I will provide you with the necessary information and a picture for the post on U-Ship.com.

PLEASE NOTE: I am currently looking for a West Coast ground transport company.

Payment Details: MasterCard, Visa, Discover and PayPal are accepted.

Service fees are added if using PayPal, 4% will be added to your total.  Please see the PayPal details below.

PayPal: If you are making a payment through PayPal on my website I will need to add the 4% to the total on the ad, whether it be on the deposit, the full price and/or the shipping. Please let me know that is how you wish to pay and I will make the nessesary adjustments.All credit card transactions for customers having their new puppy shipped must now go through PayPal.

Credit Card: MasterCard, Visa and Discover are accepted. On credit card transactions that are taken over the phone and keyed in for puppies and products that are to be shipped to you, you must first fill out an authorization form allowing Pedigree Pets to charge your credit card. 

Personal Checks: Are accepted along with a valid drivers license and you reside within a 60 mile radius, otherwise Personal Checks are accepted for deposits only on puppies 6 weeks of age and under {30.00 service fee is charged on all returned checks}.

Ohio Sales Tax: (Shelby County) of 7.5% is added to the purchase price of puppies that are picked-up here at Pedigree Pets. No sales tax is charged on puppies shipped out of state.

Payment Plan:  Payments are offered only on puppies that are under 8 weeks of age or 12 weeks for T-Cups and the balance must be paid in full before the puppy may join his/her new family.

Deposits: All deposits are non-refundable as we concider the puppy to be sold. All deposits that are sent by check must now be overnighted.

Pet Prices:  Pet prices are available on some some the puppies depending on their pedigrees. I really dont like to do this, because I don't feel it's right to tell people what they can or cannot do with their puppy.  But, with the economy the way is I feel that it is a fair option to offer, especially if they have no plans to show or breed. The Pet Prices are offered on a spay/nueter contract.

Policy For Holding Puppies:  If the puppy is 8 weeks of age or 12 weeks for T-Cups and over; I will hold the puppy for you for one week while travel arrangements are made free of charge. But, after that we will need to charge a small boarding fee per week of 20.00-25.00 depending on the breed size (most boarding facilities charge 12.00-15.00 per day). Pleaseunderstand that we still need to continue the shots, wormings, vitamins, Theracoat and of course their food until they join their new family. The small fee only covers our cost, I do not make any profit from this. We cannot hold any puppy without a deposit. I have done this in the past and it did not work out for the puppy. I will just leave it at that.

I do apologize for having to put this policy into effect, but I have had so many customers asking me to hold the puppies for them for long periods of time and I can't possibly do this without charging the fee to cover my cost.

Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.
