When do puppy picks happen once the puppies are born?
Puppy selections begin once we’ve captured initial photos and videos, usually the day of birth or the next day. Families choose in reservation order, and each family has 24 hours to make their selection so we can move to the next reservation. This allows us to promptly notify the other reserved families and then reach out to our general interest list in the order received regarding any remaining availability. Thank you for helping us keep the process moving so all puppies can be matched with families in a timely manner.
Do you have a contract?
Yes, we do! We think that is important to make sure the puppies, the buyer, and the seller are all protected and feel safe with the transaction/transition. This contract will be created once your deposit is received AND you have chosen a puppy. If your puppy has not yet been born, we are happy to provide a sample of the contract for you to view.
Training
Are your puppies started on crate training before they come home?
Yes, all of our puppies are crated when they’re not actively being played with. However, please remember that they are used to being with their litter mates. For this reason, we send home a heartbeat puppy and blanket that smell like mom/littermates to help with the transition.
Are your puppies started on potty training before they come home?
Yes, we begin taking our puppies out to the backyard to learn to potty in the grass. However, please remember these are still very young puppies, and will need much more training than we can provide in 7-8 weeks.
Do you use any particular puppy program on your puppies?
We do not use a particular program. Our puppies are raised in the midst of our family, which includes 5 kids. They are used to ALL kinds of interaction, smells, sounds, etc.
How should I crate train my puppy?
We have a page on our website with extensive helpful information on crate training! Please ask us for the link if you don’t see it. We also HIGHLY recommend basic training classes at minimum. These are SMART pups and eager to please.
