Questions & Answers
The breeders in our network price dogs for sale in RI based on a number of criteria. Essentially any factor that affects supply and demand will affect the price of the puppy. So a more rare, but more sought after breed will cost more. A more common breed will be lower in price. The breeders you’ll find listed here will also price the pups based on their sex and the color and quality of their coat. And more experienced, highly recommended breeders will charge more for their puppies as well. Whatever you’re looking for, there’s a pup that fits your needs and your budget.
Yes, of course. If you’re looking for the perfect puppy, RI residents and those in surrounding states may look at puppy listings outside their state to find a rare breed, or a puppy with the exact look they’re seeking. Whatever you’re trying to find, our network of breeders is very extensive on Uptown Puppies, but you may fall in love with a puppy that’s out of state. Dog breeders have lots of experience sending new owners their puppies by plane over airlines that accommodate pets.
We only show you RI puppies that come from the most reputable, quality, experienced breeders in the state. When we screen, we look at the breeder's background. They have to have a formal, ongoing relationship with an attending veterinarian. We also only show you puppies that come from breeders with at least 18 months or more experience breeding dogs, and who have raised at least two litters. These are just two of the 47 standards that must be met for breeders to be listed on our network.
Any puppy you see on Uptown Puppies comes from a breeder that meets all our qualifications for ethical standards of care for the puppies and their parents. The dogs always have access to clean drinking water and recognized food, given at correct feeding intervals to keep the dogs at a healthy weight. They also must be provided with daily human interaction, exercise, and play.

Some of the best known family dog breeds are Golden Retrievers, Beagles, Labrador Retrievers, Boxers, Poodles, Collies, Bulldogs, Doodles, and Pugs.
Not really. Uptown Puppies does not breed any dogs, and neither is Uptown a chain of dog breeders. Instead, Uptown is a qualified network of the most professional, ethical, caring breeders in your area. Any puppies you see on our website come from a dog breeder in our network. We only show you puppies from breeders we’ve vetted and that meet our high standards for the quality of care and experience that we want to see in all dog breeders.
Absolutely. That’s our mission at Uptown Puppies. Not all pet stores that sell puppies in RI get them from breeders who treat the puppies as well as we think they should be. And not all pet stores do either. So if you’re seeking RI puppies for sale, you can rest assured that any puppy you see on our website came from a dog breeder that treats them and cares for them like family, as well as you will when you bring them home and welcome them with love.
