01
Born at Home
Puppies spend approximately their first two weeks inside our home, close to their mother and to us, in a calm and protected newborn environment.
A Gentle Beginning
The Puppy Nursery
From their first breath inside our home to their first adventures in the nursery, every Fairfax Pines puppy is raised in warmth, security, cleanliness, and love.

Born Close to Us
Home is their very first nursery
Every Fairfax Pines puppy is born inside our home in the cozy, hewn-log sunroom located just off our living room.
This peaceful room keeps mothers and newborns close, allowing us to remain present throughout whelping and the earliest days. It is warm, quiet, familiar, and intentionally connected to everyday home life.
The sunroom even has a nap swing—a much-used spot during long nights of waiting for puppies and throughout those precious first two weeks.
Their First Weeks
A thoughtful journey from birth to discovery
As puppies grow, their surroundings grow with them—always balancing rest and security with new opportunities to move, explore, and play.
02
Into the Nursery
At about two weeks, mothers and puppies transition to our dedicated nursery building—a space reserved exclusively for nursing mothers and their litters.
03
Learning Through Play
As the puppies become ready, their world expands through age-appropriate toys, a ball pit, a slide, outdoor play, and supervised summer water experiences.
Designed for Mothers & Puppies

The Heart of It All
Know how loved you are
Beautiful facilities matter, but they are only part of the story. What matters most is the time spent watching, cleaning, comforting, holding, and learning who each puppy is becoming.
Our nursery is designed to support that hands-on care while giving every mother the quiet, security, and dignity she deserves.
From Our Home to Yours
A beautiful beginning for a lifetime of love

All of our Fairfax Pines puppies are born inside our home, in our cozy sun room located off of the living room. This room also has a nap swing which, trust me I use lots while puppies are being born and for the following 2 weeks! This room is a warm and relaxing hewn log room, that when we don't have puppies, is our favorite spot to drift into an afternoon nap.. Puppies stay in the home until about the 2 week mark then they go to our Puppy Nursery Building. Our Puppy Nursery Building is ONLY for puppies and nursing mommas, there are no other dogs kept there... we want our mothers to feel safe and secure without distraction or feeling overwhelmed by other dogs roaming or barking etc.
The Nursery building is climate controlled with an independent heating system radiant floor heating, keeping the building exactly the temperature that we set on the thermostat... no heat lamps or dangerous electric/kerosene heaters .. we have vinyl composite puppy quarters that are easy to clean and sanitize (no cold chain link to snag collars or cause kennel phobia, the Nursery also has hot and cold water... and a gorgeous views out of the many light filled windows. The nursery also has an outdoor play area for pool fun in the summer and a ball pit and slide for enjoyable and interactive play fun for puppies! In summer months puppies have their own puppy pool to get supervised water experience!!
