Once I know the dog is pregnant, I will take a non-refundable deposit. This verifies the sincerity of the prospective owner to add a puppy to their home. The order of the deposits received determines the order of choice given.

Their dew claws will have been removed when they are three days old. I will do puppy testing at six weeks and a
wellness visit with the vet at which time they will be given their first shot and worming.

Once I know the litter is pronounced healthy, you will be invited to come and choose your puppy. During your selection process, I will tell you a little bit about each one. By this time I have been interacting with them 3 - 4 times a day. They will all have been well socialized and temperament tested. You will by then have given me an idea of what you are looking for in a puppy. Such criteria as desired sex of dog, ages of your children if any, whether yours is an active or quiet household, and what sport activities the dog would eventually participate in with you etc. Together we will find the best puppy to fit your family.

Once the selection is made, we will set a date at eight weeks of age for you to pick up your puppy. At that time I will need assurance that you have made a vet appointment within 24 hours of picking up your puppy. This is to confirm that you have received a healthy dog. Some vets like to give the second shot at this time.
