Frequently Asked Questions
Are your Beagle puppies AKC registered?
Yes, all of our Beagle puppies are fully AKC registered, ensuring their lineage can be traced through verified parentage. AKC registration reflects our commitment to preserving the purebred Beagle standard and maintaining the highest levels of quality, health, and conformation. This registration provides families with confidence that their puppy comes from a reputable breeder focused on responsible breeding practices and long-term breed preservation.
How are your Beagle puppies raised?
Our Beagle puppies are born and raised in our home on our 110-acre North Texas family farm, where they are part of our daily lives. They receive constant care, attention, and early socialization from the moment they are born. This loving, family-centered environment helps develop confident, well-adjusted puppies that transition smoothly into their new homes and become exceptional lifelong companions.
Do you perform health testing on your Beagles?
Yes, the health of our Beagles is one of our highest priorities. We use comprehensive genetic testing, including the Embark DNA panel, which screens for over 200 potential health conditions. We also follow health guidelines established by the National Beagle Club and AKC’s Bred with H.E.A.R.T. program. These measures help ensure that our puppies are healthy, genetically sound, and well-prepared for a long, happy life.
What kind of temperament can I expect from your Beagle puppies?
Our Beagles are known for their wonderful temperaments, which are shaped through careful breeding and structured early socialization. We use the Avidog socialization program, along with early neurological stimulation and scent introduction, to help puppies develop confidence, adaptability, and strong social skills. This results in friendly, affectionate Beagles that make excellent family companions.
At what age can puppies go to their new homes?
Our puppies are typically ready to go to their new homes once they have reached the appropriate developmental stage and are fully prepared for the transition. During their early weeks, they receive proper care, socialization, and observation to ensure they are emotionally and physically ready. Our goal is to provide families with a well-adjusted puppy that is prepared for a successful transition into their forever home.

Do your puppies come from champion bloodlines?

These championship lines contribute to excellent physical traits, temperament, and overall breed standards.
