FAQs
We are not keen on shipping puppies by themselves in cargo especially long distances. Flight nannies can be arranged at owner expense otherwise we recommend coming to pick up your puppy yourself! I personally have flown many puppies underseat and each one has slept the whole way. This option allows you to meet the pack/parents as well. We are within driving distance of the Minneapolis airport and can meet there for no extra charge.
Although we do take personal preference for color and sex into consideration we want each puppy and family to get the best fit for them. Since we are with them from birth until they leave the nest we are able to evaluate their individual personalities and use that info to find the best match based on their temperament traits.
Our adults are all health tested following OFA's CHIC breed guidelines. For Beagles this includes: hips, thyroid, eyes, MLS and cardiac eval. We also do several genetic tests for breed specific hereditary diseases such as F7, and Lafora Epilepsy and others. Puppies sold as pets will be genetically tested before leaving if the pairing had any genetic risk involved. While we try to breed to health tested dogs sometimes the pool of suitors requires us to outsource untested males; In order to mitigate the risk involved with this we fully test all of our breeding dogs at Kvell.
Puppies will be ready to leave the nest at 8 weeks old barring any unforeseen circumstances. If you are unable to get your puppy between 8-10 weeks of age there will be a daily boarding/holding charge. We prefer for puppies to get to their families and get the chance to bond and adjust to their new lives as soon as possible!
