Inquiries are always welcome for
our planned litters. When you contact a breeder, be prepared to answer questions
about yourself, your family, your living arrangements and lifestyle. In addition to
helping the breeder find the best match for you, this indicates to you that the breeder is
someone who cares what happens to his or her dogs. Dogs and other living animals are
not toys or objects to be picked out on impulse, then put in the back yard or discarded
when someone grows tired of them. Getting a dog should be viewed as adding another
member to your family and you should have a firm commitment to providing a loving home for
it for the rest of its life. Puppies go through teething and housebreaking, older
dogs may have developed habits you want to change, these are part of living with another
creature and making it a part of your family.
When you take home one of our puppies it
will have been raised in our home, underfoot, handled and socialized. It will have
had all shots and health care appropriate to its age and it will be microchipped.
The puppy will have a lightweight leash and collar and, if you are picking it up, a supply
of its normal food that will last for the first few days. We send home a
comprehensive Baby Book or "owners manual" with answers to many of your
questions plus feeding instructions, housebreaking and training tips, pictures of the
parents, pedigree of the puppies, and a complete health record. Our sales contract
contains written health and temperament guarantees. All of our dogs are clear of the
recessive gene that causes Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) a condition that eventually
leads to blindness. If you ever have questions or experience training or behavior
problems, we are as close as your phone or modem. We hope the transition from our
family to yours will result in a long and lasting friendship.
No Puppies this year, so I've been killing time, so to speak, writing mystery
stories. The "Murder at the Dog Show" series is available at
http://www.amazon.com/. See my
"Books" page for more information.
