Welcome to Ghostpine Breeders
Welcome to Ghostpine Breeders, where raising healthy, happy, and well-socialized puppies is more than just what we do—it’s who we are. Since starting our family-run program in 2023, I, Priscilla, along with my family, have poured our hearts into caring for our dogs and their puppies, because they’re not just breeding dogs to us—they’re beloved members of our family. We are deeply devoted to raising exceptional Labradoodles and nurturing the future of this incredible breed and its varieties, ensuring every puppy grows up to be a wonderful companion.
More Than Just a Pet
We believe every puppy deserves to be raised with love, patience, and respect. Our dogs live as part of our family, not in kennels, and we’re committed to responsible breeding practices that put their health and happiness first. This means we carefully plan each litter rather than rushing to meet demand, which is why the wait for one of our puppies can be anywhere from six months to a year.
Early Development Matters
From day three to day sixteen of life, our puppies experience Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI)—proven methods that encourage confidence, resilience, and balanced temperaments. These small but important steps help them grow into well-rounded companions who are ready to take on the world.
Preparing Puppies for the Real World
We thoughtfully expose our puppies to new sights, sounds, and experiences from the very beginning, ensuring they leave our home prepared to adapt to yours. Whether it’s their first car ride or meeting new friends, they learn to embrace new adventures with excitement, not fear.
Health, Socialization, and Adventure
We take pride in breeding not only healthy puppies but puppies who are playful, social, and eager to bond. Our goal is to give every puppy the best possible start in life so they can grow into happy, confident members of your family.
A Family-Operated Commitment
Because we are a family ourselves, we know how special it is to welcome a new furry friend into your home. We treat every puppy as if they were staying with us forever, and we’re honored to stay connected with our families long after our puppies go home.
Building Lasting Relationships
At Ghostpine Breeders, we’re not just placing puppies—we’re creating lifelong connections. Whether you’re welcoming your very first dog or adding to your pack, we’re here to guide you, celebrate with you, and share in the joy that comes with finding your new best friend.
How We Help You Choose the Right Puppy
Every puppy is unique, and understanding their temperament helps ensure they’re a great fit for your home and lifestyle. At 5 weeks of age, we evaluate each puppy’s temperament to help guide families in making the best match. Puppy selections begin after these assessments are complete.
We look at both stable traits (unlikely to change as the puppy grows) and adjustable traits (which can be shaped through training and socialization):
Stable Traits – give insight into your puppy’s natural personality:
-
Play/Prey Drive – eagerness for toys, games, and chasing.
-
Assertiveness – how they approach new people and dogs.
-
Human Focus – desire to bond and engage with people.
-
Motivation – willingness to work with and for humans.
-
Tenderheartedness – sensitivity to human emotions.
-
Energy Level – whether they’re always on the go or enjoy rest breaks.
Adjustable Traits – can be shaped with positive guidance:
-
Confidence – comfort with new experiences and environments.
-
Nerve Strength – ability to handle stress and challenges.
-
Touch Tolerance – response to being held and petted.
-
Sound Sensitivity – reaction to loud or unusual noises.
-
Sight Sensitivity – reaction to sudden movements.
-
Dog Friendliness – comfort and behavior around other dogs.
By assessing these traits at 5 weeks, we guide our adopters to puppies whose personalities best match their lifestyle, family dynamic, and future goals.
What You’ll Receive with Your Puppy
At Ghostpine Breeders, we believe that a great start makes all the difference. That’s why we not only focus on your puppy’s health and socialization, but also on early training foundations that make the transition to your home smoother and more successful.
Every Ghostpine puppy goes home with a Complimentary Puppy Take-Home Bag, thoughtfully packed with essentials and comfort items:
-
Puppy Food – A starter portion of the good-quality food your puppy has been raised on, to support a smooth dietary transition.
-
30-Day Free Trial of Trupanion Pet Insurance – Optional protection for unexpected health events during your puppy’s early days.
-
Litter Pan Training Guide – A simple, helpful guide to continue the litter training foundations we begin early on.
-
Comfort Blanket – A cozy blanket carrying the familiar scent of mom and littermates to ease your puppy’s transition and support crate comfort.
- Pumpkin Supplement Packet – A puppy-safe natural aid for occasional tummy upset that can sometimes occur during their adjustment to a new home.
- Dog Leash- Because we want you to feel as prepared as possible to bring your puppy home!
We begin litter pan training 3 - 4 weeks of age, teaching puppies to recognize a clean, designated potty space from a very young age. By the time they go home, they’re well on their way to understanding where and when to go — a great foundation for house training.
Starting at six weeks of age, we also introduce puppies to crate training through short, daily sessions. This gentle exposure helps them become familiar and comfortable with the crate, making the transition to your home and nighttime routines much easier.
In addition to these thoughtful preparations, every Ghostpine puppy also comes with:
-
A 1-year health guarantee
-
A complete health check by a licensed veterinarian
-
Their first vaccinations and deworming treatments
- Your new puppies health records
-
Lifetime breeder support – We’re here to answer your questions and offer guidance for the life of your puppy.
