Every Velvet Bear puppy comes from the same program: the same health testing, the same early socialisation, the same support after they go home. The only thing that changes is how much dog you want at the end of the leash.

Why Velvet Bear

Raised Underfoot, Not In A Kennel

Our puppies are born in the house and stay in the house. They grow up with a vacuum running, a doorbell ringing, children coming and going and a floor that changes from tile to rug to grass. By the time they leave us at eight weeks they have already met the world.

That is the difference you feel in the first week home — a puppy that settles instead of shuts down, that has seen a crate, a car and a clipper before it ever saw your living room.

Our Promise

What Every Puppy Leaves With


Health Guarantee

A written genetic health guarantee, plus a vet exam within 72 hours of going home so nothing is taken on trust.

Tested Parents

Both parents are DNA panel tested and OFA evaluated before they are ever bred. Results are shared with every buyer.

A Real Head Start

Age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, microchip, early crate and potty introduction, and a first grooming session.

Us, For Life

Call at week one or year nine. If you ever cannot keep your dog, it comes back to us — no questions, no charge.

Start The Process

Bringing One Home


Four steps from first message to the day you drive home with a puppy.

  1. Tell us about your home

    Fill out the waiting list application. It takes about five minutes and tells us what size, coat and temperament will actually suit your life.

  2. Reserve your spot

    A $300 deposit holds your place in the litter order. Picks are offered in the order deposits are received.

  3. Choose your puppy

    At six weeks you meet the litter in person or by video call and make your pick, with our honest read on which puppy fits your household.

  4. Go home at eight weeks

    Vet cleared, microchipped, socialised, and sent home with the food, the schedule and the paperwork you need for week one.
