Canine Care Certified

An Elevated Standard in Ethical Breeding

At Pupp Atelier, we believe that a dog’s early environment shapes its lifelong temperament and well-being. That’s why we adhere to the Canine Care Certified program, an elite, science-based standard developed by leading veterinary and animal behavior experts at Purdue University.

This certification goes far beyond minimum legal requirements. It’s a voluntary, audited commitment to best-in-class care. This ensures that our practices reflect not just compliance, but conscience.

1. Ethical Breeding & Full Transparency

Third-party audits ensure full alignment with the highest animal welfare protocols.
No puppy mills. Ever. Transparency is not a tactic—it’s a standard.
Breeding is guided by science and stewardship, not scale.

2. Health & Genetic Integrity

Every dog receives comprehensive veterinary oversight and genetic screening to eliminate hereditary risk.
Proactive vaccination and wellness care support longevity and vitality.
Health is never an afterthought—it’s the foundation.

3. Socialization & Emotional Stability

Puppies follow a structured early socialization program, designed to support adaptability and emotional regulation.
Adult dogs receive daily enrichment and meaningful caretaker interaction—reducing stress and building trust.
A calm, connected dog begins with a calm, connected environment.

4. Luxurious Living Standards

Clean, spacious, climate-controlled studios that far exceed USDA standards.
Daily outdoor access with diverse flooring textures—supporting healthy joints and paws.
No stacked crates. Ever. Every dog lives with dignity, comfort, and personal space.

5. Ethical Retirement & Lifelong Responsibility

Dogs are retired responsibly—never overbred, never discarded.
No retired dog is ever sold for research or experimentation.
We are committed to their lives before, during, and after breeding.
