At our home, breeding is never about numbers, it’s about raising each puppy with the time, attention, and care they deserve.

As a small boutique breeder, we only have a handful of carefully selected females in our program, and we intentionally space our litters throughout the year. This allows us to focus on every puppy as an individual rather than trying to manage large numbers at once. In truth, during those first precious weeks of life, I practically live in the whelping box. Every feeding, every milestone, every little concern matters to us.

Our puppies are raised right in the heart of our farm. They grow up surrounded by the sounds of everyday family life, from children playing and movies on the television to the occasional SpongeBob marathon running around the clock. We intentionally expose them to a variety of sounds, voices, and environments to help build confidence and resilience from the very beginning.

At six weeks old, puppies begin crate introductions, and by eight weeks many are already comfortably spending short periods of time independently. We never allow puppies to leave before 8½ weeks of age. After their eight-week veterinary appointment and first vaccinations, we wait a few additional days to carefully monitor each puppy. Some puppies can experience mild reactions or temporary fevers after vaccines, and we believe it is our responsibility to ensure every puppy is thriving before adding the stress of transitioning into a new home.

Health and transparency are cornerstones of our program.

One thing that sets us apart is our commitment to documentation and veterinary care. Our puppies are examined by a veterinarian at both six and eight weeks of age. Families receive copies of both health examinations, including fecal testing results and documentation of each puppy’s condition and development. In addition, every puppy leaves with a USDA Health Certificate, providing a third layer of veterinary verification before going home. These are also posted in our telegram litter groups for families to see ALL documents.

This means your puppy leaves with a complete paper trail documenting their health and condition throughout those important first weeks of life.

Obtaining a USDA Health Certificate requires an additional veterinary examination immediately before a puppy goes home. If a puppy is reserved after that appointment has already occurred, we make the 2 hour trip back to obtain updated paperwork. While this requires additional time and expense on our end, we believe doing things correctly matters.

We proudly travel over two hours each way to Covington Veterinary Care in Andalusia, Alabama. These trips not only provide excellent veterinary oversight but also offer valuable socialization opportunities, exposing puppies to new sights, sounds, smells, and experiences outside our home environment.

When bringing home a puppy, you’re making an investment in a companion who may share the next decade or more of your life. We believe you deserve a breeder who checks every box not because it’s required, but because it’s the right thing to do.

Our breeding dogs are health tested through Embark and certified through OFA. Our girls are typically retired after three litters. Once retired, they are usually spayed and placed into carefully selected homes, often for a very small adoption fee or, in some cases, at no cost at all. They have spent years giving to our program, and we believe they deserve families who will spoil them for the rest of their lives. Retired dogs are placed as companions, and while no guarantees are offered on adult retired dogs, they can be wonderful opportunities for families seeking a well-established, affordable companion.

One of the things we’re most passionate about is training and socialization. Our goal is not simply to send home healthy puppies, it is to send home puppies that are prepared for the world. After eight weeks of age, puppies remaining with us continue their education through structured outings, socialization experiences, and exposure to new environments. We frequently use puppy strollers to safely introduce them to stores, public settings, and everyday life while they await their forever families.

We work diligently on potty training, crate training, leash introduction, and building confidence. While we often say our puppies are around 95% potty trained, we also believe in being realistic. Any puppy will experience some regression when transitioning to a new environment. However, families who follow the schedule and routine we provide typically experience a smooth adjustment with minimal setbacks.

The level of training varies from puppy to puppy, and so do the associated prices. But for families who don’t want to start completely from scratch, investing in a puppy with a strong foundation can make an incredible difference, and is ultimately my main business model.

Above all else, we want this journey to be enjoyable. Choosing a puppy should be exciting, not stressful. Communication should never feel like pulling teeth. We believe families deserve regular updates, honest conversations, and a breeder who remains available long after pickup day, and large reason I use telegram, everyone is updated in one spot, and nothing is hidden.

When you join our program, you’re not simply purchasing a puppy, you become part of our extended family. From the day your puppy is born to the years that follow, we’re here to answer questions, celebrate milestones, offer guidance, and help ensure your new companion has the very best start possible.

For families outside of Florida, we understand that distance shouldn’t stand in the way of finding the right puppy. That’s why we offer private ground transportation through our trusted puppy chauffeur, who transports exclusively for our program and delivers puppies safely, comfortably, and directly to their new homes across the United States. Families are invited into a private Life360 group during travel, allowing them to follow their puppy’s journey home in real time and share in the excitement every mile of the way.

We also welcome families who prefer to fly into our local airport or pick up directly from our home. Whenever possible, we’re happy to travel reasonable distances ourselves for a travel fee because helping our puppies safely reach the people who have been waiting for them is something we care deeply about.

Transparency is one of the values our program was built upon. Through our Wonderland’s Boujie Kennels Facebook page and our telegram, families can follow our dogs throughout their entire lives, from newborn puppies to mature adults. We maintain dedicated photo albums, share health testing results in their Facebook albums, and our telegram, post updates, and document the journey of the dogs who have helped shape our program. We want families to know the dogs behind the pedigrees, understand the care that goes into every breeding, and feel genuinely connected to where their puppy came from.

At the end of the day, our goal is simple. We strive to raise healthy, well-socialized, deeply loved companions while providing an experience that feels personal, honest, and supportive from beginning to end. We believe bringing home a puppy should be more than a transaction; it should be a memory your family treasures for years to come, which is why the Guide To Florida, voted us one of Florida’s Best Breeders for 2025, and 2026.
