The Trailside Difference

Puppies Raised With Intention

Every Trailside puppy is shaped from day one by behavior science and raised right in the middle of our family — so they arrive confident, adaptable, and ready for the life you’ve imagined together.

What Makes Our Puppies Different

  • A structured puppy curriculum with daily intentional exposures — new textures, sounds, surfaces, and handling.
  • Problem-prevention protocols, including resource-guarding prevention and startle recovery.
  • Family raised in a real home with kids — never in kennels.

Every Puppy Goes Home With

  • A full vet check + age-appropriate vaccinations
  • Microchip with dual registration (your info + ours as backup)
  • A puppy starter kit
  • Weekly owner emails with training + health guidance
  • Lifetime breeder support
Current & Upcoming Litters

Who’s Coming Soon

Because we’re a small, intentional program, we only plan a few litters each year — each pairing carefully chosen for health, temperament, and structure. Pairings, due dates, and waitlist openings are announced right here, and joining the waitlist secures your priority when it’s time to match puppies with families.

How It Works

Our Adoption Process

Finding the right home for each puppy matters as much as raising them well — so our process is structured, transparent, and built around great matches.

01
Apply
Every family starts with a puppy application, so we can learn about your home, lifestyle, and what you’re looking for in a dog.
02
Join the Waitlist
Approved families reserve a spot with a $500 deposit that goes toward your puppy. Waitlist order follows the date your deposit is received.
03
Puppy Selection at 4 Weeks
I reach out to families in deposit order with photos, videos, and my professional recommendations to guide your match.
04
The Final Choice Is Yours
You always make the final pick — I simply offer expert guidance on each puppy’s temperament. Once you choose, I move to the next family.
