FAQs

Q: How old are puppies when they leave Howleluyah for their new families?

Our puppies leave us just after 10 weeks of age. Puppies either have a vasectomy (males) or an ovary-sparing spay (females) at 10 weeks and a couple of days after this procedure is Puppy Pickup Day. There are no exceptions to this.

Q: Can I buy two puppies from the same litter?

We don’t sell sibling puppies from the same litter. We are all about Howleluyah puppies being as successful as they can be. Whilst it might seem like a noble gesture to buy siblings, it’s more difficult to train two puppies and most people are not prepared for the commitment it will require. This means two dogs without adequate training will devolve into poor manners, and bad habits and be a nuisance to all - we don’t want this for our puppies or their families. If you’re keen to add two dogs to your household, we do recommend having an age gap of a year or so. Once you’ve dialed in training with the first puppy and they mature enough to have an “off” switch and good manners, they will help make life easier when you decide to add a second (and help train in good habits).

Q: Should I get a boy or a girl puppy?

If you’re unsure which will suit you better, we like to say that girls will love you… but boys will be in love with you! Females tend to rule the roost (it’s a matriarchal society in dogs!). There’s always a hierarchy within a pack that they usually figure out amongst themselves. With their families, however, they’re loving and involved in everything, if you’ll let them be. They love to keep watch over the home. Males tend to be incredibly affectionate and will do anything for a cuddle at any time of the day. They tend to be more protective when the occasion arises. They shall require training in the area of any marking behavior (which is part of the first year of training any male pup as they mature) but this is easily done if consistency exists in communicating effectively the desired behaviour and then rewarding it. Females tend to naturally incline their affections to men, and males vice versa. Saying that, I’m always surrounded by my girls dogs at home - wherever I am. If you already have a girl, then a boy is a great choice. Two boys go great together

Q: What colours do you breed?

We breed Pepper & Salt (grey body, white beard, and furnishings) and Black & Silver (black body, silver/white beard and furnishings). We do not breed solid blacks or whites.

Q: Why are your puppies more expensive than others I’ve seen?

Yes, it’s true — one can usually find a cheaper puppy. But cheaper doesn’t mean better. How a puppy is bred and raised makes all the difference. It can be the dividing line between a dog with ongoing health, structural or temperament issues… and the right puppy who fits beautifully into your life for the next 12–15 years. At Howleluyah, we don’t cut corners. We include a lot of extras – including safe early desexing. Because we keep our puppies until they're older, there is also no need for further vaccinations throughout the entirety of the puppy’s life (no matter what your business-running vet might tell you). While some breeders may offer a lower price up front, most families still end up spending $800–$1,000 more on top of that price to cover desexing and additional vaccination. We invest in every stage of your puppy’s early development — from breeding parents with excellent health and sound temperaments, to our structured socialisation, enrichment and grooming protocols and our commitment to ethical, natural rearing.

Q: Thinking about another breeder? Here are the questions to ask:

Can I see the pedigree of both parent dogs? Can the breeder trace health history through the generations? Do both parents have current eye certificates? Can I see DNA results for inherited diseases in the breed? Why were those two dogs paired together? Are there Champions in the pedigree? (It’s not the only indicator of quality, but still worth noting.) How has the puppy been prepared for lifelong grooming needs? Does the breeder work during the week? Do they offer a health guarantee? Will they take the dog back at any age if needed?
