Frequently Asked Questions

Our puppy pricing reflects the individual qualities of each baby — including size, coloring, and overall rarity.

Traditional colors generally range from $2,500–$3,500, with rarer colors, toy sizes, or unique traits being on the higher side.

Puppies start to go home at 8 weeks of age and are current on all age-appropriate care, including:

• DHPP and Bordetella vaccines
• Routine deworming starting at 2 weeks of age
• vet check certifiicate
• AKC Reunite microchip placed at the 6–7 weeks
• Blankets and toys 
• Har cut
• Flea and tick meds

At this appointment, our veterinarian at Southside Animal Clinic issues a health certificate. Your puppy goes home with a folder containing their health certificate, vaccine records, and microchip information. Next core vaccines are due at 10–12 weeks.

At Lowcountry Dreams, our puppies are raised in our home as part of our daily life — not in kennels, but surrounded by family, children, and intentional structure.

Beginning at just 3 days old, each puppy participates in  thoughtfully designed daily curriculum called puppy culture, which includes:

• Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)
• Early Scent Introduction (ESI)
• Daily Puppy Culture–inspired enrichment activities
• Age-appropriate socialization and confidence building

We are deeply committed to raising stable, well-adjusted companions who are prepared for life beyond our home.

The Heart Behind Our Program

The heart of an intentionally run, in-home breeding program is time—time spent with each dam, each puppy, and every stage of development. Our puppies are raised in our home with daily hands-on care, early enrichment, and thoughtfully supported milestones that help create confident, well-adjusted companions. Dams are closely supported throughout pregnancy and whelping, and health testing, genetic screening, and preventive care are never optional. We believe quality matters more than quantity. Any growth within our program happens intentionally and only in response to a full waitlist of families eagerly awaiting planned litters—not mass production. Every breeding dog is DNA tested and OFA certified, and every puppy is raised with individualized attention, daily enrichment, and exceptional care from birth. We encourage families to look beyond price alone and consider how and where their puppy is raised—because early care truly makes a lifelong difference.

Families who have placed a deposit are welcome to visit their puppy, but all visits will be scheduled in advance at mutually convenient times. We'll coordinate with each family to ensure a smooth, planned visit that fits both your schedule and the puppies routine.

We operate from one simple, seniority-based waitlist so that each family is served fairly and thoughtfully. It keeps the process peaceful, organized, and transparent for everyone.

One of the sweetest milestones is Puppy Pick Day, which happens around 3½ weeks of age — right when little personalities start to bloom. By this stage, we’re able to see early temperament traits emerging, which helps us guide families toward a puppy who truly fits their home and lifestyle.

Selections take place in seniority order, and we always honor color preferences whenever possible. But beyond appearance, our heart is to help you choose a puppy whose temperament aligns beautifully with your family. Once your puppy is selected, the journey continues. You’ll remain connected through ongoing updates, photos and videos, and personal support as your little one grows and prepares for go-home day.

We love inviting our families into the process — not just at pickup, but from the very beginning.

Your deposit never expires and can be applied to any future litter of your choice with availability. Deposits are refundable only if a buyer changes their mind on their purchase within seven days after signing their contract, or if after 12 months a puppy of their liking is not produced. 

The foundation of our program begins with healthy parents. Every breeding dog is DNA tested through Embark to screen for breed-specific genetic conditions, so we can make responsible, informed pairing decisions.

Each puppy comes with a 2-year congenital health guarantee, reflecting the confidence we have in our breeding practices and the care provided from day one.

Before going home, every puppy receives:

• A complete veterinary exam
• Age-appropriate vaccinations
• Routine deworming
• Microchip identification
• A negative fecal test

We believe families deserve confidence and clarity when bringing home a new puppy. Our goal is simple: to give you peace of mind knowing your puppy was intentionally bred, carefully raised in our home, and supported for a lifetime.

At this time we do not offer transport, however we are currently looking for a reliable, licensed, insured, and bonded partner. Until then we will happily meet you at the Charleston airport to tranfer your puppy to you if you are coming from out of state. We also have an 

 air bnb on the farm and if  there is availablity, we would be happy to offer a 20% discount for those who are coming to pick up their puppy. Please let us know in advance as the schedule fills out quickly.

Your puppy will be eating Stella and Chewys super blend raw food. We believe in giving our puppies the best start at life and that beginins with nutritional health. What you feed your puppy matters and thats why we choose this brand. They use real meat, fresh ingredients and made in the USA.
