The Knotty Oak's Family

Knotty Oaks Ranch (KOR) is a proud, family-owned breeder with over 35 years of experience, dedicated to raising exceptional puppies with a focus on quality—not quantity. Based out of Texas and New Jersey, we raise all of our puppies in a loving home environment, where they are truly part of the family. Each puppy is well-socialized and exposed to a variety of early-life experiences to prepare them for a smooth transition into their new homes.

At KOR, we implement the Volhard Dog Training Method, as we firmly believe that early neurological stimulation plays a vital role in developing well-rounded, confident, and affectionate companions. Our puppies are raised to become trusted and well-adjusted members of their future families.

Each of our puppies comes home with:

Toys
A small bag of premium food
Up-to-date vaccinations (including Bordetella)
Crate and blanket
Car seat
ISO microchip
AKC registration and health screening of parents
30-day prepaid health insurance offered by AKC and Trupanion
Lifetime guidance and support
Volhard Puppy Aptitude and P.A.W.S. testing
5-Year Written Health Guarantee

We stand behind the health and quality of our puppies with a 5-year written health guarantee that covers any life-threatening genetic conditions. All of our adult dogs are thoroughly health screened for over 283 canine diseases and have certified heart and eye clearances.

Our commitment extends beyond adoption day. We take immense pride in the health, happiness, and well-being of our puppies. Each is raised on five-star nutrition, receives age-appropriate vaccinations, and is introduced early to crate and potty training. Our support continues for the lifetime of your puppy, not just until they leave our home.
