Doooos and Don'ts

Another weekend of very sweet families visiting us. We did help everyone find the best puppy for their family and we do insist they take them home now. Bringing home a puppy for the holiday is not the best choice for a new puppy. It's better to bring home the puppy now and give the children  dog clothes, toys and books for the holiday. Bringing a puppy into a house full of people is very stressful for the new puppy and there is a great risk of the puppy becoming ill. This is when we must say NO to the customer. If the customer insists, then we tend to believe this is also the type of home which is not suitable for a new pet. Of course there are some exceptions to the rule, if it's a customer with some pet experience. Anyway,  I think we have the cutest puppies this year and that's a big deal after doing this for over 24 years........come visit us anytime!

You MUST be educated............

We just finished a busy weekend and In came all the internet puppy purchasers.....It blows my mind at how people purchase this way, each person is upset because these puppies,(which  should still be with their mother) will not eat . I simply cannot believe the size of the puppies that the internet puppy sellers will deliver.  At best those puppies are 6 weeks and each person really believes their puppy will NOT grow, let alone the fact that they just had a puppy delivers to the aiport from one of the mass production kennels . We chuckle when they say our puppies are too big, " I want to scream, they are 10 weeks old and healthy"!  Our puppies are socialized and eating very well when they leave us.....
