How to join the Karrah Creek family
We are committed to ensuring all Karrah Creek puppies are matched perfectly with their forever families and undertake extensive health and temperament assessments from when our puppies are born right up to the matching & allocating of puppies to families at 6 weeks of age.
​
Adding a new family member is a big decision and we are here to support you through the process and to ensure your new puppy has been selected specifically to best match your lifestyle, needs and circumstances.
