The Petosphere Puppies
There is just nothing like a puppy. And there is certainly nothing like a pup from the Petosphere. We offer puppies for adoption from licensed and /or ethical breeders that we develop a relationship with, who consign their puppies to me, knowing that I will uphold their contracts, and find only the best homes for these babies. We do NOT sell puppies to anyone who comes in with the money. We also do not sell puppies to people who want them to breed. We encourage those people to find a breeder and work closely with them directly. The puppies in our care are our first and only concern. Always. The conditions and care the pups receive in their early months is beyond reproach.
To ensure the puppies are well adjusted, they are left with mothers for as long as possible. The mothers and their pups are not kept locked up in small kennels. They have large runs or are raised with the family in their homes.
Once the pups reach the Petosphere they continue to get lots of love and care. They are monitored for developement, health, and personality traits. Perhaps most importantly they get to be puppies and go nuts with each other all day.

Puppy Breeding
There are many different sources for new puppies. Our breeders are, no pun intended, rare breeds. Other stores take a less reputable route and we think it is important that you know the difference. Here is a list of sources and a short definition for each to help you understand the terms.
Licensed Breeding Kennel or Cattery
A kennel or cattery that has a current, valid business license, is inspected by the state as well as by local Humane Society Organizations, and possibly certified by the United States Department of Agriculture. These kennels or catteries are held to a very high standard and must submit extensive paperwork, keep immaculate facilities and adhere to stringent guidelines regarding the health and practices of breeding dogs or cats. This the one of the types of breeder we work with.
Puppy or Kitten Broker
A person or company that is the “middle man” between breeders and outside sources that sell puppies or kittens. Brokers do not necessarily deal with ethical, or licensed kennels or catteries.
Puppy or Kitten Mill
A person or persons who breed on a large scale solely for profit. Rarely, if ever, are genetics or bloodlines considered. Inbreeding, cruelty and neglect MAY also be apparent. Usually these puppies or kittens are sold to brokers or sold via the internet/local newspapers or online classifieds. These individuals are not licensed or inspected in any way by any agency or state organization. Very rarely will you find a large breed puppy mill, simply because the cost would not be beneficial to the bottom line of the mill. The same is true for hard to breed puppies, such as english bulldogs, or hard to raise breeds, such as wolfhounds. These breeds tend to be raised by a hobby breeder, or a show breeder.
Backyard Breeder
A person who breeds a small to medium amount of puppies or kittens without regard to breed standards, do not show their animals and are not licensed by any state organization or agency. They breed just to breed, and usually sell to anybody with the money to buy.
Reputable or Hobby Breeder
A person or persons who may show their animals, and breed for the betterment of the breed they choose to campaign. They are registered with the appropriate registry. Usually these breeders breed to develop their own lines, and to have dogs or cats available to campaign for the show seasons. They normally do not sell to brokers, and usually have strict contracts to control where and to whom their puppies or kittens end up. Sometimes they even will refuse to sell breeding animals at all, except to other reputable breeders. This is one of the types of breeder we work with. We work hard to develop a trusting relationship with these breeders.

This stunning boy is SUPER playful! He is a little on the larger size for an Italian Greyhound. I feel like he will be closer to the size of a Whippet. He is a doll and very loving.
This little girl is TINY! She is also very interested in being with her people all the time. She is my daughters favorite..and has earned the name “Sparkles”. She is an absolute angel.
This boy has incredible coloring! His body type is cobby and square and he is the funniest little guy! Must see him in person.
She is a tiny little girl. Very sweet and mild mannered, she would do well with an adult home or older children. Her ears are incredible. You must come see her in person.
