Can I visit Clearvu to meet the puppies?BEFORE babies are born, you are welcome to make an appointment, see our home and kennel situation and meet our dogs. Once babies are born- NO VISITORS AT ALL – for the 1st 2 weeks, once they move out of the nursery and into their play area (4-5wks), we start taking appoints to visit. During this time we only allow 1 family per day, as it still stresses the mom out. At 6 weeks we encourage visits and they will be learning to potty outside, and time for rough and tumble play. We teach them to go up and down stairs and a lot of socialization will be taking place during these next to weeks. We do ask that all visitors to remove shoes (no exceptions) And wash hands and bring a freshly laundered shirt to put over your current clothes.

What is the difference between "Pet Pricing" and "Show Pricing" at Clearvu Kennels?At Clearvu Kennels, we offer two distinct pricing categories for our puppies: "Pet Pricing" and "Show Pricing." "Pet Pricing" is intended for those who are looking for a loving family companion. These dogs are always sold on a spay/neuter contract to ensure they are not bred, and they may have minor cosmetic flaws that make them unsuited for the show ring but do not affect their health or personality. On the other hand, "Show Pricing" is for those who aim to enter their dogs into competitive events. Puppies in this category come from top-quality bloodlines and exhibit exemplary traits as per breed standards. These dogs are ideal candidates for dog shows and professional breeding programs. They come with full registration rights, allowing the buyer to breed and show the dog without restrictions. Both pricing options guarantee that you are getting a healthy, well-bred puppy, but the key differences lie in the intended use and contractual obligations associated with the purchase. Whether you're looking for a pet or a show dog, Clearvu Kennels is committed to helping you find the perfect canine companion to meet your needs.
