Bottom Line

At Okefeild Acres, our goal is to raise calm, emotionally balanced puppies who are truly prepared for life as beloved pets or future therapy companions. We take great care in their development — and just as much care in protecting their future.

Early spay/neuter supports that mission. It not only encourages stronger bonding and temperament success, but also ensures that our puppies are not placed into irresponsible breeding situations. In an overcrowded market where many dogs are bred without proper care, we believe in setting a higher standard — one that prioritizes the lifelong well-being of every puppy that we raise.

We welcome families who share our heart for thoughtful, responsible care — and who want to give their puppy the same lifelong love and intention that we’ve given them from the very beginning.
