Your New Puppy
What should you expect from your new puppy?
What will your puppy come home with?
*Puppies go home with their own bag of goodies. Included are a blanket that smells like mom and siblings, puppy food they are used to eating, a toy, a puzzle, a folder with all of his/her paperwork, enough posting supplies for a few changes (you will need to buy duck tape and Hampton Adams tape). If you need a leash or collar please let us know in advance.
When do you begin training?
*Puppies are very curious and smart, they are always learning and taking things in. As soon as you take your puppy home they are learning so use it to your advantage! You can start basic things like sit, down, come, place, shake, etc when they come home. House training and coming to their name will probably be the first things they learn.
What will your puppy be used to?
*Your puppy will have been raised in our house with our family. So they will be used to people of all ages (toddler to teenager to adult), normal household sounds and scents, and other dogs. They know it is quiet time when it gets dark and morning is play time. They will be accustomed to being carried, played with, and facing new things daily.
What training has your puppy started?
*Your puppy will have learned to follow people naturally and the beginnings on charging a clicker (so they know when they hear a click a treat is coming. If we know what their name will be they will have started associating it to attention and treats. It is hard however to name train an entire litter at once. So they all answer to "puppy" and "baby". Your puppy will have been potty box trained, it is not recommended you continue this, however it means they have learned targeted elimination - so there is a specific place to go to the bathroom, and it isn't wherever you are when you feel the urge.
What has my puppy been eating?
*We feed ProPlan large breed puppy to all of our puppies, they will go home with some. We recommend adding Missing Link puppy supplement and Salmon oil which can be found on Amazon. But it isn't necessary.
The most important things to know about us and upcoming litters -
*We place based on temperament first, so puppy choices aren't available until after temperament tests and conformation evaluations.
*Temperament tests are done at 7 weeks and conformation evaluations are done at 8 weeks. So you won't get to pick your puppy until the 8 week range but that means that you get updates on the entire litter and you get to watch them grow and change!
*We try to give you choices in your puppy but ultimately they are placed by temperament first. Your favorite puppy might actually not be a good fit for your family.
*We know going into a breeding what temperaments and drive levels we are expecting so we might refer you to a specific litter depending on what you are looking for.
*We raise our puppies with Puppy Culture to give them, and you, the best start we can.
*Puppies are raised in our house with our family so we get to know each one.
*Each litter we create is with a goal in mind.
*Litters are planned years in advance however, as health testing, and titles, and pedigree databases are updated sometimes plans change.
*Our dogs are our pets first, so if a litter timing isn't best for the dog or family plans might change, so there is a difference in "upcoming litter" and "planned litter".
*Puppies go home cropped, docked, microchipped, limited AKC registration, and current on shots and wormer.
*We NEVER sacrifice on the basics: health, temperament, brains, and beauty!
*All puppies are sold with limited AKC registration, full can be earned but not purchased.
*Puppies are $4500 total with a $1000 deposit.
*We do offer discounts to our previous families and first responders
*Deposits are non-refundable in most cases, however if the desired color/gender is not available at birth you can choose to move to another planned litter or get a refund.
*Pricing is not negotiable
