Frequently Asked Questions

The price of our puppies is $750 for limited registration. Full registration is not offered at this time.

In order to reserve a puppy from Sweet T Labs, we require a $200 deposit be made. We do not hold a puppy for anything but a deposit. Being on our waiting list does not guarantee that you will receive one of our puppies.

At this time, our preferred method of payment is Zelle. Our Zelle information can be found in the Buyer Information Packet. If you have any questions about using Zelle, please reach out and we will be happy to help answer any questions you might have.

The final payment for your puppy can be made on pickup day, and MUST be made with cash. Sweet T Labs does not accept checks or any major credit cards as forms of payment.

Research shows that dew claws serve an important purpose for dogs. As a result, we do not remove our pups' dew claws. We understand that some people prefer to have them removed for hunting purposes, or for show purposes. However, we have elected to not remove them.

We perform ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) daily on each of our puppies from day 3 to day 16. This has been proven to improve cardio vascular performance (heart rate), yield stronger heart beats and stronger adrenal glands, provide more tolerance to stress, and create a greater resistance to disease. The military initiated this program called the "Bio Sensor" program (later dubbed the "Super Dog Program") and it sets the pups up for success for the rest of their lives.

We also perform ESI (Early Scent Introduction) daily on each of our puppies from day 3 to day 16. This is the process whereby we introduce a different scent to the puppies every day for each of these days. This increases their scent awareness, and aids in potential for the pup to be used for hunting or as a service dog.

Yes! We use a combination of methods from Avid Dog, Puppy Culture, and Empowered Breeder. When the pups leave our home, they will have been socialized using sound desensitization and various handling techniques. We also socialize the pups with larger (adult) dogs while in our home. We do our best to get them used to as many different scenarios and surroundings as we possibly can in order to prepare them for the homes they will be going to.

Yes! While in our care, the pups will have been dewormed at 2, 4, and 6 weeks of age (again at 8 weeks if they test positive for internal parasites on their 6-week fecal exam).

The pups will also receive their first round of vaccines while in our care. This vaccine includes Distemper, Adenovirus, Parainfluenze, and Parvovirus. This does not mean a pup is FULLY vaccinated when leaving our home, and each buyer should follow up with their local vet to continue recommended inocculation protocol.

At Sweet T Labs, we believe it is important to start the pups on a training schedule early on in life. We begin training the pups in the following areas while still in our care:

• Litter Training

• Potty Training

• Water Introduction (weather permitting)

• Taking Food (no snatching)

• Leash Walking

• Recall Training

• Crate Training

• Basic Commands

Please note that we can merely introduce all of the above training types to our pups while in our care. It is the buyer's responsibility to continue the puppy's training in all of these areas (and in other areas) in order to produce a puppy that is well-balanced and enjoyable to have in the home. DISCLAIMER: Failure to continue training may produce undesirable traits in your puppy.

Our pups are ready to go home when they are 8 weeks of age. We will coordinate with each buyer as to a specific pick up date and time. When the pups are 5 weeks old, we will send out a link to our Puppy Pickup Scheduling Calendar where you can schedule a pickup date/time that works best with your schedule.

While we do not deliver the puppies to a buyer's place of residence, in certain circumstances we may be able to meet at a halfway point to help alleviate some of the drive of the buyers. It is preferred that the buyers pick up the puppy in Poplar Bluff if at all possible.

We do our best to send the buyers home with everything that they will need in order to be successful in raising their puppy to help the pup get the best possible start. The following is what we give to each buyer:

• THE PUPPY! (along with registration papers)

• Approximately a 4-5 day supply of the kibble we have been feeding

• Treats for the ride home

• Pee Pads for the ride home (just in case...)

• A Puppy Resource Information Binder

• The puppy's favorite toy

• A blanket with the scent of mom and/or littermates

• 30 Days of Pet Insurance

If there is anything else you will be needing with your puppy for the ride home, please communicate this need with us and we will do our best to ensure that you have everything you need to make the ride home a pleasant trip.

This will be communicated with the buyer during the reservation process, and varies by situation. Any pup kept in our care longer than a week post-appointment will incur a $15/day boarding fee plus any needed vet costs for continued inocculations.
