Apricot Lane Puppy
Welcome to Pup & Plaid
Also owned by Rob & Lisa
Pup & Plaid was created with one simple mission: to help puppy families feel more prepared, more confident, and a little less overwhelmed.
After years of raising puppies and helping families through those exciting first days at home, we know how many questions can come with bringing home a new puppy. When should they eat? How often should they go potty? What do you do when they cry at night? How do you start crate training, handle biting, and build a routine that actually works?
That is where Pup & Plaid comes in.
While this resource was created with our Apricot Lane Puppy families in mind, it is not just for families who adopt from us. Pup & Plaid is for every puppy family who wants practical, thoughtful guidance as they raise a happy, confident companion.
Our goal is to share the routines, tips, checklists, favorite products, and real-life advice we have learned through years of hands-on puppy experience — in a way that is simple, encouraging, and easy to use at home.
Whether you are preparing for your puppy’s arrival, navigating those first few sleepless nights, working through potty training, or simply wondering, “Is this normal?” — we want Pup & Plaid to feel like a trusted place you can turn.
Because bringing home a puppy should be one of life’s sweetest seasons, and a little guidance can make all the difference.
Welcome to Pup & Plaid — helping one puppy family at a time.
