Welcometo Shake A Paw Kennel!

Here at Shake A Paw Kennel, we are a family-run business. Our dogs and puppies are very well-socialized and love kids. We have a 1-year health guarantee against any genetic problems. They get 1st shots dewormed, and vet checked/ We keep them till 8 weeks of age as mom teaches and interacts with them. This is very important, so they adapt better to being rehomed. These babies are loved and we only want the best for them.

Please don't hesitate to inquire about coming and visiting our kennel by appointment only. Come and meet your friend and companion.
Every child needs a friend by their side. My passion for dogs started in my childhood years with a beloved dog by my side. After getting married and started raising a family, we always had a family farm dog. But I always had this dream of owning huskies, and eventually, this became a reality. This was the beginning of my dog breeding. We enjoyed the puppies so much, I felt encouraged to expand it to more breeds.

Frequently Asked Question’s

What is included with my puppy?

Your puppy goes home with a blanket that smells like his mom and littermates, a small chew toy, measuring cup, scoop poop bags & holder, small amount of dog food and a bag of small training treats, information book on milestones, training and behaviours. Also the vaccination booklet with deworming, vaccinations, signed by my Veterinarian. What do puppies eat? And how many times a day?

What do the puppies eat and how often during the day?

You can ask your breeder and veterinarian for advice on the best brand and type of food for your puppy at his/her stage of life. Growing puppies should eat puppy food that is specially formulated to provide the necessary nutrients to fuel their growth spurts!

How often do puppies sleep?

All of that running around can wear a puppy out! Remember that puppies are growing constantly, and sleep is required to develop a puppy’s central nervous system, immune system, brain, and muscles. In general, puppies should sleep around 15-20 hours a day! Awake for 1 hour and sleep for 2 hours!When can I take my puppy to the dog park?

When can I take my puppy to the dog park?

Before taking your puppy around town, ensure that you have visited your veterinarian and your puppy has received a clean bill of health and all necessary vaccinations. Safely socializing your puppy is important to creating a well-rounded dog, but you don’t want to create a negative first impression of the park by taking him too soon. Too many dogs at once can be very overwhelming for a puppy, so start by introducing your puppy to dogs one at a time. Understand some basic dog park safety tips before venturing out to your community park.What to expect at the first vet visit?

What to expect at the first vet visit?

A first visit will be slightly different at every clinic, but there are some common things to expect. Generally, a vet tech will start the exam by taking vitals, weighing your pup, and taking his temperature. At this point, the veterinarian will step in to perform a comprehensive exam. This exam will include listening to the heart and lungs, palpating the abdomen, and conducting a dental check-up. The vet will check your dog’s ears, eyes, nose, and toes, as well as the skin and coat. It is actually a nose to tail exam for the first visit!

Your vet will then go over a vaccination schedule with you and give any vaccinations that you choose to do on that day. Ask questions about possible symptoms resulting from the vaccinations so you know what to expect for the next few days.

Dog Food

We are proudly feeding 4 strong Paws for food. Our dogs love the Meaty-taste. High-quality food with no fillers promotes healthy skin and a shiny coat, a strong immune system, and a digestive system, creating healthy strong babies. For the long life of your dog, it keeps strong muscles, bones, teeth, heart, and eyes. All this creates a healthy happy dog.
