Do you take reservations for puppies?
Yes, we accept reservations for puppies on a very
regular basis. It' s best to just give us a call so we can give you
the most up-to-d ate information on the availability of our puppies.
We may not alwa ys have openings for immediate reservation of the
color, gender or disposition you may be wishing to acquire, as we
have no sure w ay of knowing what each litter will produce until the
time of its arr ival. However, our puppies are often reserved at a
very young age or even before they're born. Females tend to be
reserved faster than ma les. If we don't already have a puppy that
is what you're looking for, it would be a good idea to put a deposit
down to hold the next available puppy based on your criteria. We
will let you know when a suitable match is born, and if one is not
born within your expectations we will refund your deposit. We only
accept a limited number of deposits on puppies that have not yet
been born.
What payment methods do you accept and how do I get my payment to yo
u?
We accept online payments and Personal checks
for initial deposit only. We will hold the puppy upon receiving a
deposit of $500.00, which is non-refundable. If the puppy gets sick,
dies, or our veterinarian finds anything wrong with it at the time
of its health inspection prior to placement, the deposit will be
refunded. The remaining balance is due 2 weeks before the puppy is
placed. Puppies that are picked up at our home can be paid for with
cash.
It is best to email us at
linda_kowalski@comcast.net when you have sent off your deposit,
as we've had a payment get lost in the mail before. Many of our
customers send their payments by certified or registered mail so the
payment can be tracked. We will also email you when your payment has
arrived.
Which is better -- a male or a female puppy?
Although many people like the little females simply
because that is all they have ever owned, males most often make the
better family pet. They are not as independent as a female, nor do
they have the moods that the females seem to go through. It's a good
idea to have male puppies neutered when they are about 4 to 5 months
of age.
Should I have my male puppy neutered?
When a male is neutered at about 4 to 5 months of
age, they rarely have the tendency to mark their territory as so
many people are afraid of them doing in their homes. We have many
happy owners of male puppies that have never had any problems with
them in this way. They make wonderful family pets and companions.
Neutering your puppy will protect his health, help him to liver
longer and be a better pet, along with improving his house manners.
What should I feed my puppy?
Your puppy needs quality puppy food and fresh water
close to him or her at all times. We also recommend giving your
puppy Nutrical (it comes in a tube and is found at most pet stores
or at your veterinarian's office). Give it twice a day after meals,
or in between meals. A small dab on the end of your finger works
great. Nutrical is for extra calories. Please don't give too much
though, as that can make them sick.
How often should I give my puppy a bath?
Give your puppy a bath only when he smells or is
dirty. Be careful not to get water in his ears. We recommend putting
cotton in his ears while you're bathing him. Keep shampoo from
getting into his eyes too . Dry your puppy immediately so that he
doesn't get chilled and catch a cold.
How often should my puppy get a checkup?
Take your puppy to your veterinarian for regular
checkups and vaccinations. Check with your veterinarian on how often
they recommend you bring your puppy in, and then be sure you do so.
Giving your puppy this extra care and attention will return it a
hundred fold.
