Frequently Asked Questions

At Shichon for adoption, All of our studs are health tested and certified and must meet the high standard we have established for our breeding studs.  Many of our girls are health tested as well, however, if a female in our breeding program is born to health tested, certified and cleared parents, then she is considered cleared by heritage and hence meets the high standards we have established for our program.

Visitors are welcome to come and meet us, our outstanding breeding dogs and their pups! We schedule one puppy play date during the puppies’ first eight weeks for visitors. We ask that you do not visit any other kennels on the day you come to our home. It is important to us to protect our litters from harmful diseases such as the parvo virus which can be deadly to a puppy. It can be carried innocently on shoes and clothing, so we take every precaution necessary to keep our little friends healthy.Puppy for ADOPTION
