Getting your puppy home
Plan a direct return trip with air conditioning, water and a secure crate or restraint. Let home be the puppy’s first destination, not a beach, park or pet-friendly shopping stop.
Bring: a secure crate or restraint, water, paper towels, a washable blanket and the contact information we provide at pickup.
Plan for the dog—not just puppy day
Coastal heat, humidity, wind and sand call for cooler-hour walks, fresh water, paw rinses and careful beach-rule checks. Young puppies should avoid dog-heavy public areas until your veterinarian advises otherwise.
Choose your veterinarian
Schedule the first visit before pickup and ask how to handle vaccines, parasites, heat and safe public exposure.
Prepare a secure home
Check gates, fencing, sleeping space, food storage and a quiet place for decompression.
Build the routine slowly
Use predictable meals, rest, short outings and positive handling. We are a breed resource; we do not provide dog training.
Protect growing joints
Keep activity age-appropriate and ask your veterinarian about surfaces, stairs and repetitive exercise.

Build your local support plan before pickup
Corpus Christi is roughly three hours from Fredericksburg. Keep the vehicle cool and plan a direct drive with quiet, low-dog-traffic breaks. Coastal heat, humidity, salt and sand call for fresh water, paw rinses, shade and careful attention to weather and beach restrictions.

Corpus Christi parks
Check city park and beach rules before every trip. After veterinary clearance, begin with cooler, quieter leash walks rather than crowded sand or dog parks.

Before you plan for a puppy
Do you have a breeding location in Corpus Christi?
No. Our breeding program and puppy pickup location are at 942 Reeh Weinheimer Rd in Fredericksburg. This page helps Corpus Christi families plan the trip and local puppy care.
Can a puppy be delivered to Corpus Christi?
Pickup and any possible transport arrangement must be discussed directly. Availability, timing, weather and puppy welfare determine what is appropriate; this page does not promise delivery.
When can my puppy visit parks and public dog areas?
Ask your veterinarian. Disease risk varies by age, vaccination status and location. Begin with controlled, lower-risk experiences and avoid high-dog-traffic areas until medically cleared.
