Why choose a Ponta da Pinta puppy?

My clients choose to acquire one of my puppies because...

  • they're sold with at least two shots, dewormed, with tick/flee treatment, microchip, DNA profile and confirmed parentage;

  • I give written warranties against infectious/contagious diseases and any hereditary problems that prevent the puppy from leading a normal happy life;

  •  backing those warranties are systematic screenings against hereditary disorders (hip and elbow dysplasias, dilated cardiomyopathy) of all my dogs and their ancestors, as well as of males I use at stud;

  • they previously acquired a puppy with a serious health issue from a breeder who did not screen nor accepted any responsibility;

  • they appreciate my seriousness, honesty and competence and understand they can trust me;

  • they know they can count on my support and advice throughout the puppy's lifetime;

  • I have an ethical attitude and care about my dogs' and puppies' welfare and happiness;

  • my puppies are balanced and adequately socialised;

  • in spite of their guarding skills, my dogs welcome visitors and show their excellent temperament;

  • for breeding purposes, I only sell typical puppies, with overall excellent quality and aditional warranties;

  • I don't sell puppies who I don't trust to be adequate to the prospect buyers' expectations;

  • I don't sell puppies to those who don't have adequate conditions to keep them or capacity to educate them;

  • I mostly avoid inbreeding, only occasional doing linebreeding when I believe it will be beneficial, and prefer to go for the vigor resulting from genetic diversity;

  • I use not only champions' but also working bloodlines, aiming for sturdiness and health;

  • I breed puppies of beautiful unusual colours that, in spite of being accepted by the breed standard, are endangered and need to be preserved.
