Puppy Visiting ​

We know how exciting it is to meet the puppies and watch their personalities begin to develop.

Families who have placed a reservation may have the opportunity to visit their litter at approximately 6 weeks of age, by appointment. These visits allow families to spend time with the puppies, meet us in person and learn more about the litter as we get closer to puppy selection.

Because young puppies are still developing their immune systems, visits are carefully managed with the health and safety of the litter as our first priority.

Puppy selection takes place after temperament evaluations at approximately 7 weeks of age. These evaluations give us additional insight into each puppy’s personality, confidence and individual traits and help us guide families toward a puppy that may be a good fit for their home and lifestyle.

Visits are available to families with a confirmed reservation and are scheduled in advance.

Puppy Picks -​​ Picks are made in the order of deposits received. I always reserve the first two spots for myself and picks start after I choose which dogs to hold back for my breeding program. At 6/7 weeks old the puppies get vet checked and the picking will begin. If I decide to not keep any puppies for my program puppy picks may start earlier.

Payment – ​​Cash only will be due on pick up day for the remaining balance. The $500 non-refundable reservation fee will be applied to the total cost of puppy. 

Puppy Supplies –​ ​High Quality Puppy Food, Crate or place to sleep, Dog Bed, Leash, Chew toys (no raw hide), Play toys, Bowls, Training treats (I recommend Tricky Trainer), Litter Box (if you plan to use one),Puppy Shampoo. Pin Brush, Ear cleaner (I recommend Zymox)

Vet -​ If you have not already done so, now is the time to find a vet. Schedule your first puppy check exam within 3 business days of receiving your puppy as well as your spay/neuter at 6 months of age.

Trainer -​ Your puppy will be ready to go to classes within a month of going home. Just make sure the training facility requires all dogs to have their age appropriate vaccinations for the safety of your puppy and that they do positive based training only. If you are local or want to leave your puppy longer l I recommend you continue training with Marty at Pastivie Training ​www.pawsitivetrainingcenter.com

Pictures -​ I​ try​ to take pictures weekly. If I do not post them on Facebook I will personally text them to you.

Go Home - ​Go home starts at 8 weeks of age. ​If you need us to take care of your puppy for an additional period the charge would be $30.00 a day after 8 weeks old.

Reminder -​ As we know, mother nature is in charge, so sometimes the timing of a heat cycle or expected litter doesn’t always work out exactly as planned. We reserve the right to use a different stud than originally planned to improve the quality of a litter. It may even be necessary at times to replace an upcoming litter with an entirely different pairing due to the interference of Mother Nature in regards to timing. In the event we replace a stud or a future pairing, we will make every effort to ensure the same colors and sizes expected for the litter, however this may not always be possible.
