We prioritize the safety and well-being of our animals above all else, which is why we do not permit visitors to our kennel or offer tours. This policy is in place to maintain strict biosecurity measures.
Biosecurity encompasses a range of practices and protocols aimed at safeguarding animals, property, and individuals from various threats, including infectious diseases, pests, contaminants, and disasters. Our stringent procedures are designed to mitigate the risk of introducing disease agents into our kennel (external biosecurity) and to prevent the spread of such agents within our facility (internal biosecurity).
We provide bitch owners with the option of utilizing our chilled semen breeding service, where chemically chilled semen is shipped to a veterinarian of your choice for breeding. This method offers several advantages, including reduced travel costs and stress for dogs, as well as the ability for breeders to have one of our stud dog's semen shipped anywhere in the world.
Alternatively, for those who prefer a live breeding option, we offer artificial insemination* conducted by our veterinarian. We do not facilitate live covers on bitches not owned by Live Wire Kennels, LLC.
Collection of the semen, shipping of the semen, and associated veterinary costs are at the cost of the bitch owner, unless specified otherwise.
Unless specifically advertised, we DO NOT sell frozen semen or puppies born from frozen semen of deceased dogs. We may occasionally offer frozen semen from living dogs or puppies born from a breeding.
*Artificial insemination involves the process of introducing dog semen into the vagina or cervix of a female dog to initiate pregnancy.
As a member of the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG), we consider it our responsibility to conduct thorough genetic screening using scientifically validated tests for disease predispositions and traits specific to the American Pit Bull Terrier. Each dog has its own DNA profile, which is certified, as they are obtained by veterinarians.
At Live Wire Kennels, LLC, we do not collect DNA samples from our own dogs. This approach provides our customers confidence in their breeding choices. In essence, DNA is not only used for identification purposes but, more importantly, it is utilized to prioritize the improvement of breed health, one generation at a time.
We strive to provide healthy puppies and ensure their well-being prior to placement in their new homes. However, we do not offer a health guarantee against contagious diseases (e.g., parvovirus) or issues resulting from neglect, lack of proper care, or failure to maintain routine health measures.
It is the buyer's responsibility to provide routine veterinary care, including vaccinations, deworming, and other preventative measures, to ensure the puppy remains healthy and thrives in its new environment.
Our contracts and guarantees are exclusive to the original purchaser and are not transferable to another owner. There is a distinct contract and guarantee for each dog or breeding service, tailored to its individual circumstances.
Likewise, we do not assume responsibility for any offspring resulting from the dogs or puppies we sell. Our guarantee and warranty extend solely to the puppies, dogs, and breeding services purchased directly from us.
Should the owner decide to sub-lease their dog for breeding purposes, etc., it is important to note that LWK, LLC assumes no responsibility for any business transactions conducted between the original purchaser and secondary parties or purchasers.
Our puppies are raised in our home and receive daily socialization with people and other dogs.
Our puppies are initially fed a high-quality puppy food supplemented with CNI Nurture and daily vitamins to ensure they receive all the essential nutrients for healthy growth and development. As they grow, we gradually introduce them to a raw diet to familiarize them with its benefits.
Our long-term plan is to transition our entire kennel, including adult dogs, to a routine Bones and Raw Food (BARF) diet. This approach prioritizes natural, minimally processed ingredients to promote optimal health, energy, and longevity. The BARF diet consists of raw meaty bones, fresh meats, and a variety of fruits, vegetables, and supplements tailored to meet each dog's nutritional needs.
Our carefully planned dietary progression ensures our dogs are not only well-nourished but also thrive in every stage of life.
Our puppy prices are generally $1500 and up; however, prices are set depending upon the sire/dam of each litter.
At the heart of our puppy pricing is a firm dedication to upholding the breed standards of the American Pit Bull Terrier breed. We strive to ensure that each puppy meets the criteria set by kennel clubs and breed associations.
Achieving and maintaining these standards requires meticulous care—it involves health examinations, genetic testing, and veterinary attention. While these steps are essential, they incur additional expenses. Good breeders invest considerable time, money, and effort into the health and well-being of both parents and their offspring. This commitment to quality is reflected in the pricing of our puppies.
We refuse to compromise on quality, and therefore, we do not compromise on our prices.
We do not offer payment plans; however, we can recommend places where you can apply for loans. Good credit, bad credit, or if you just need a little time, we understand and recognize that unforeseen circumstances can arise. Most individuals genuinely intend to fulfill their financial obligations. However, we acknowledge that situations may not always unfold as planned. As we are not in the banking business, we lack the capacity and resources to pursue individuals for overdue payments. Therefore, we entrust the responsibility of financial management to professionals who specialize in such matters.
Please feel free to reach out to one of these professional institutions, or another of your choice, but full payment is due at the time of sale and/or services rendered.
Occasionally, we offer dogs at a discounted price. These dogs are considered companion animals and may come with specific contracts and/or restrictions. They may or may not include ADBA registration paperwork and could have one or more breeding restrictions.
We do not offer Military or Senior discounts.
If you are on a limited or fixed budget, you can contact one of the finance companies listed below.
You can reserve a LWK, LLC puppy through various payment methods including Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, Moneygram, or Money Order. Additionally, PayPal is accepted with a 5% fee.
Before any breeding services are conducted, an estimate will be provided, and payments for these services must be made directly to the veterinarian.
All sales transactions must be completed before picking up a puppy or receiving any services.
A non-refundable puppy deposit may be placed as long as a place in line is available for the public selection of a male or female puppy. While we understand your preference for a specific gender, we cannot guarantee the availability of a male or female puppy in a particular litter. If the breeding does not occur, the bitch forfeits the litter, or a puppy is unavailable, your deposit can be transferred to a breeding of similar quality, or you can opt to receive a credit toward a breeding service.
All deposits are organized in the order they are received, which determines the selection sequence. Please note that LWK, LLC is committed to ensuring the best outcome for every puppy. For instance, if you choose an alpha pup but have no prior dog ownership experience, we will advise against this choice to prevent potential issues. Our primary goal is to ensure success for both the puppy and the new owner.
*Public selection, which takes place after we have made our initial selections, typically occurs on/around week 6. You can choose your puppy between weeks 6-8 during this public selection period.
All of our breedings are conducted to meet our specific goals, ensuring we achieve the desired traits in our pups. We carefully select puppies that will contribute to the ongoing success of our gene pool. While genetics are our passion, we also prioritize matching each puppy with the right family or individual based on temperament.
We kindly ask for your understanding that our kennel is an integral part of our home. As such, we are unable to accommodate visits from strangers to ensure the privacy and safety of our family and dogs, and to safeguard against potential risks such as puppy theft and to maintain biosecurity measures.
Still, we strive to provide ample visual content, including photos and videos of our dogs. via social media. We do offer additional images or videos, once a deposit has been received. Nevertheless, we do not allow on-site visitations.
We do not provide refunds as the decision to purchase, adopt, and care for a living pet/companion is a commitment. We prioritize informed decisions over impulse purchases and encourage thoughtful consideration before making a choice.
In the event that your puppy falls ill and is diagnosed with a pre-existing condition, we encourage you to reach out to us. However, we encourage you to refer to your contract to understand LWK, LLC's responsibilities. We are dedicated to collaborating with pet owners who are fully prepared to care for their companions.
We accept the return of animals purchased through our website or directly from Live Wire Kennels, LLC, provided the puppy is returned in its original condition within thirty (30) days of shipment to you. Please note:
- Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable unless otherwise specified.
- We will not cover return shipping costs unless explicitly agreed upon beforehand.
This policy ensures the well-being of our animals while providing flexibility for our buyers.
We do not provide refunds for breeding services. Please refer to your STUD SERVICE CONTRACT for specific details.
We do have older dogs for sale or adoption from time to time; however, please don't inquire about purchasing a dog that is not listed for sale on our website, Instagram, or Facebook page.
Dogs that are adopted out DO NOT come with registration paperwork and will have a breeding restriction placed upon them.
We do not engage in breeding for commercial purposes. When we do breed, it is for specific reasons related to our kennel's needs. We retain the offspring from our breeding and sell only the same stock that we keep. If you encounter claims to the contrary elsewhere, we advise caution, as we do not associate with these practices.
We do have genetic screening that will tell us the color traits that each dog carries the genes for; however, we don't know until they are born. All of our puppies' colors are in line with the American Dog Breeders Association (ADBA) standard.
No, prices depend on the sire and dam, not the color.
Our breeding standards aim to fall within the ADBA Heritage American Pit Bull Terrier Conformation Standard. of 30-75 pounds; however, at times, a pup may grow to weigh slightly outside of those weight range.
Live Wire Kennels largest dog weighed 67 lbs., and we considered him to be a horse of a pit bull. We do not sell the XXL dog.
