Frequently Asked Questions:

First you will need to fill out an application. We will email you within the next few days after receiving the application. Once we talk about the right litter for you we will require a $300 deposit to hold your spot on then litter. After you put a deposit you can check the website for updates on the litter. Once the puppies are born we will send you a birth announcement. This will have the pick up day as well as how many puppies there were. We will then start updating the website weekly with new pictures of the puppies. At 6 weeks you will get your contract and appointment time. We will also put individual pictures of the puppies out at this time. (This is the last time we update the pictures) The puppies get their shots around 7 weeks and they will go home at 8 weeks old. (If the puppies are born on a week day it will be the following weekend)

If you email us we can set up a time for you to visit. We don't allow people to play with the puppies until they have had their first round of shots. Please do not just stop by!

We are feeding the puppies two times a day, once around breakfast time and once around dinner. We feed them ½ cup of food twice a day. You will need to start to gradually increasing the amount as the puppy gets older. We are feeding the puppies Diamond Puppy brand puppy food (when you get your contract we send a picture of the food and send it). When you get the puppy we will send you enough food for about 6 days. If you are wanting to change food you will need to gradually switch starting with three days of the diamond puppy, then mix half and half until the Diamond Puppy food is gone. By 6 months old the puppy should be on adult food.

If you catch it right way, give the puppy 5 ml of hydrogen peroxide then walk the puppy around outside until they throw up. This will get rid of all the stuff in their stomach and save you a trip to the vet. If you don’t catch it right away then you need to take them in to see a vet as soon as possible!

This is totally normal for puppies to get an upset stomach! Start with giving them PLAIN yogurt or Plain pure pumpkin. (Don’t get the sugar free or flavored yogurt. We use mountain high original whole milk plain yogurt. Make sure that the only ingredient in the pumpkin is pumpkin. Not for pumpkin pie.) This is a good probiotic and in most cases helps settle the stomach. If your puppy or the diarrhea gets worse or continues then take your puppy to the vet! 

Your puppy will have its first round of shots before you pick it up. Then you will need to take it to get the second and third shots. (Some vets do this different. Follow what your vet says!) When you pick the puppy up we will give you a booklet. In this booklet we will show you a page with all the vet information from their health exam and first shot before they go home. This page will show you when your puppy will need to go in for its next shots (about one month after the first). This page will also show your new vet all the information and shots from our vet. Then your vet will schedule the rest of the shots and exams accordingly. You may want to ask your vet about the Lepto shot. This is different from the regular vaccines.

We recommend waiting until the puppy is at least one year old. This gives the puppy’s hips and elbows to fully develop. For more information click here

We recommend keeping the puppy away from any other dogs until they are fully vaccinated. The only exception would be if you knew the dog and that the dog has had all of its vaccinations. Stay away from going into stores, parks, etc. that are frequented by dogs until the puppy is fully vaccinated. 

We require a $300 non-refundable deposit to reserve your spot on a litter or hold a puppy for you. The deposit goes towards the price of the puppy. Puppies have so much love and joy to give, but they require your commitment and care. The deposit is your first commitment towards the puppy.
