If you are interested in
being on one of our upcoming puppy lists, please visit the reserve a
puppy page from the link below.
***************************************
All of our puppies are AKC certified. They come with a 24-month
health guarantee for genetic disorders. Our puppies are
sent home with you, microchipped through microchip
ID Systems-AVID'S Pet Trac
recovery services. One of the industries Leading 24 hour pet
recovery services.
We
remove dewclaws at 3 to 5 days of age. This is done to prevent
snagging or getting caught up while playing outside, hunting or
even snuggling with you on the couch. Our puppies are dewormed at
2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 weeks of age (as recommended by the
American Veterinary Medical Association) and we get them off to the right start
with their first round of puppy vaccinations at 6 weeks of age.
From
day one, we nurture our puppies to be trustworthy of others;
animals, children, adults. We spend our days teaching our little
ones to enjoy grooming, touch and socialization. What does this
mean for you? A pup that has all of this interaction from an
early age is more acceptable to learning and training,
ultimately growing up to be the best companion you could ever
dream of.
New Puppy Check List
Puppy proof your home- Get on your hands and
knees and see your house from a puppy’s point of view.
Baby Gates for stairs until you are certain
that your new puppy has mastered safely going up and down.
A wire crate for sleeping (helps with potty
training and provides a comfort zone)
Food for your new puppy (all foods are not
equal... learn about pet food ingredients from the pet food
ratings link)
Safe toys for your puppy to play with. (always
inspect toys for damage and replace them when necessary)
A veterinarian…. Not just because they are the
closest, or you're used to them, but because you feel comfortable and trust them.
Training plans (organized agility classes,
obedience classes... whatever! This is an essential part of a well
behaved and even tempered canine)
Time set aside for walks and exercise (walks
are essential and are not replaced with open play in a yard)
Time set aside for general bonding i.e. a game
of fetch or a doggie massage
Enough love and patience in your heart to have
a new puppy and the time and dedication he/she will require in
order to be happy & healthy.
****Puppies have no concept of heights. They
will walk right off the edge of any furniture if they are left
unattended. Please, play with them on the floor for their own
safety.
The list could go on, but
these are the basics….
Get your camera ready and enjoy your new
puppy
