Our Philosophy
How a puppy is raised matters just as much as genetics.
At The Luckie Puppy, we intentionally limit the number of litters we produce each year so every puppy receives individualized care, calm handling and a strong foundation for family life. Our puppies are raised in our home, never in kennels, and are nurtured from birth with attention to both physical health and emotional development.
We believe a well-raised puppy transitions more smoothly, bonds more deeply, and grows into a confident companion.
Gentle Start Early Development
Every Luckie Puppy begins life with a gentle, intentional start.
Our Gentle Start program focuses on early experiences that support confidence, resilience and adaptability.

What People Are Saying
"We are SO very pleased with The Luckie Puppy. We got our sweet baby boy Chip last week and he has brought instant love and joy to our lives. The extra care that Kayla gave all the puppies introducing them to the world and puppy life makes their transition to a new furever home smoother for both puppy and new parents. We definitely rate The Luckie Puppy 5-star exceptional and will most certainly recommend."
