Adoption Process
Revised 12.26.25
We recognize that there are unfortunately more scammers than reputable breeders today. For that reason, we have developed a thoughtful adoption process designed to protect our puppies while giving our new owners peace of mind.
Transparency is important to us. This document is intended to answer your questions up front so you can make the best decision for you and your family. Please read it carefully, and if you still have questions, we are always happy to help.

Vaccine Announcement
(New – Revised September 2024)
We have received reports, including photographic evidence, of adverse reactions in some puppies shortly after receiving veterinarian-administered vaccines. While some reputable veterinarians believe vaccines can do more harm than good, others disagree.
We believe vaccination decisions should be made collaboratively between you and your veterinarian. Therefore, we now offer the option to withhold vaccinations prior to delivery.
-
If you do not want your puppy vaccinated, you must notify us in writing before delivery.
-
Worming medications will still be administered unless you specifically request that they also be withheld.
-
If we do not receive written notice before delivery, all scheduled vaccines and worming will be administered as usual.
Please email your request to:
📧 CnKCBoxers@outlook.com
