Puppy Buyer Information

PLEASE READ ALL INFO!  

It will answer most of your questions!

You have chosen to purchase a puppy from us.
Please continue to read all of the information below.

Below you will find probably too much info!  Take your time.  

We want our puppies to have wonderful lives.  This journey starts with us as the breeder. 
It ends with you, the new owner.  We fully trust that you are getting prepared for this new puppy. 
Maybe some of the info below will help you.

Pick Up Day – What do you need to bring?

Final Payment:

1st bring the final payment.  WE DO NOT accept checks.

Our preferred method of payment is cash. 

We do understand that some may travel very far to pick up their puppy and it’s not safe to carry that much cash.  For those of you who travel far, we can accept PayPal or Card. 
We have fees that add up when using both of those so when possible please pay in cash.  

If you are not comfortable carrying the puppy back home with you on a passenger’s lap please bring a crate. 
A medium-intermediate size crate is good.  Place a towel inside. 
Bring a second towel just in case a replacement is needed.

If you are driving far and must travel with your puppy over a few hours you can bring a dish and a bottle of water. 
It is a good idea to purchase some canine electrolyte for your new puppy. Transition into a new environment can cause stress and runny stools.  Electrolytes can help balance this out and keep the stress down.  We recommend giving your puppy electrolytes for the first few weeks in the new home with you. 
Below you will see an example of an electrolyte powder we like!

To have it on hand when you bring your puppy home, order it now. 

You may click on any of the pictures below to be taken to the website/page that provides more info!

Bring paper towels and gallon-sized zip-lock bags so if your puppy has a mess in the car you can pull over and clean it up with the paper towels and seal the mess into a zip-lock bag to dispose of when you get home.

We like to use Simple Green.  It’s non-toxic and very good at cleaning up puppy messes. 
Bring a spray bottle along with you to clean up any mess this puppy makes.

You can bring more and you can bring less.  Just use good judgment. 
A lot of this is determined by how far you have to travel with your new puppy.

You will be given a puppy pack on the day of pick up.

This pack includes:
*Starter Food / Diamond Naturals mixed with Victor High Energy*

We will be sending you home with a small bag of this food for easy transition and potty training.

It is still a good idea to go purchase a bag of your own to have when the small bag we send home with you is all gone.

DO NOT, I say again DO NOT let this puppy go potty in any high traffic areas!

·         Near Vet Offices

·         Dog parks

·         Rest areas

·         Gas stations

·        Public Parks

·         Public Streets or Sidewalks

I think you get the IDEA!

Watch them close on walks. 

Teach good behaviors right away.  Don't let them lick things or pick up things on walks.   Pay close attention to your puppy.  Dogs that have disease potty all over and your puppy may come in contact with that disease!

You also want to keep your puppy safe from eating a possible poison (Example: chewing gum that possibly has Xylitol in it).  This can be fatal to a dog and small puppy.

Now, why do I preach this so much?  I have very good reason.   PARVO – DISTEMPER - LEPTO - FUNGIS!

I will share a short story below that a “Carolina Johnson” shared on her Facebook Page.  It is so very true!

 This was posted and it hit close to my heart as a breeder. 
For years, my final email (now this page) has always had this in it.   

There is more to it than just this story. 

We ask that you DO NOT take your puppy to any public areas until they are 16 weeks of age and have received their final BOOSTER VACCINATION and Initial Rabies Vaccine.

I know everyone wants to show off their new puppy.

We still want to share the risks with you.

Puppy classes are just fine as most reputable trainers require all dogs to have vaccination records prior coming to training.

A puppy is just starting to build their immunity against Parvo and other K9 diseases.  They are so little and their immune systems are not strong at this age.   Just because we have given this puppy two vaccinations does not mean they are IMMUNE to these K9 diseases.

The Next 72 hours

You now have your puppy.  We rarely have any serious medical issues with any of our puppies.  Umbilical hernias are fixed by our Veterinarian before they leave for puppy pick up unless it is just a fatty tissue deposit, these normally do not need to be corrected. 

Very small hernias are not surgically corrected as they can get better with growth!

They are not serious in nature but we believe it is a breeders responsibility to correct a larger hernia, not the buyer.

You have 72 hours, (3 days) to have this puppy evaluated by a Veterinarian after you pick up your puppy. 
“Puppy 1st Health Check”

More on this will be further down in the email.

If your Veterinarian finds anything wrong with this puppy we want to know and give you options.

1st Option -You can return this puppy to us within the 3 days for a full refund if a medical issue is found.  

2nd Option - You can return this puppy to us within the 3 days and accept a puppy from a future litter in replacement or if we have any puppies from the current litter still available you may choose one of them.
Most of the time all the puppies from the current litter are spoken for.

We will NOT euthanize the puppy coming back into our home.
We will do everything in our power to give this puppy the best life ever unless we have exhausted all options.

  We love our dogs very much.  So never think that!
That is one of those BAD BREEDER scares for every buyer.

Don't worry. 
THAT IS NOT US!

We will need a written letter from your Veterinarian with any and all findings.  We will also need permission granted for us to call and talk to your Veterinarian.  This does not mean we don’t trust you. 
We sincerely want to know everything about our puppies and dogs!

If neither option one or two works for you we can discuss what will.  I want you to be happy with your puppy.   We strive for healthy puppies from the day they are whelped here until the day they leave to enter your new welcoming home and family.

ABOVE: Is a very rare occurrence.  We don’t sell puppies we believe have any serious medical issue.  
But it can happen.  It’s so very RARE! 

Umbilical hernia’s are not included as a serious medical issue as stated above we will have corrected this issue before you pick up your puppy.

Cryptorchidism is NOT included (Puppies with only one descended testicle or NONE).  

Many times it can take a male puppy up to 12 weeks to fully descend both testicles.  
PET males will still be allowed to go into their new homes at 8 weeks of age even if only one testicle can be felt.

An exception applies for breeding prospects. 
You will have advised me if this puppy was being purchased for breeding purpose before you place a deposit.
We will retain this puppy until the testicle descends.  If it does not by 12 weeks of age, we will allow the buyer to move their deposit to another puppy from a future litter.  This is a rare occurrence but at times can happen.

------------------------

*** We do not recommend the LEPTO vaccination***

However, we are emotionally invested in this puppy!

IT IS NOT A CORE VACCINE for a reason!
It has caused death in many puppies.  It has caused puppies & dogs to have such severe reactions they have seizures and convulsions.  This vaccination is dangerous and does not provide 100% proven protection to your dog.  Any puppy sold from this kennel and given this vaccination resulting in death or serious long-term medical issues will not be covered under our refund/replacement Health Guarantee. 
It is OK to tell your Veterinarian NO to this Vaccination. 

Please tell them "NO" or some Vets will automatically give this to your puppy and NOT TELL YOU!

Please, do your own research on this vaccination and/or visit this Facebook group: (Nobivac Lepto 4 – our experiences). 

A Public Group with more than 27,000 members!  See with your own eyes what the LEPTO vaccines are doing to some of these dogs and puppies. 
We refuse to give this vaccination to any of our dogs or puppies.
If you feel you MUST give this as a personal choice please, wait until they are an adult and NOT A PUPPY! 

Dog’s Lifetime

If at any time you can no longer keep this dog.  Please contact us.  We will make arrangements to pick this dog up (NO QUESTIONS ASKED) or if we have no room at that time we can help you place the dog as quickly as we can.  

We cannot refund any of the money you paid for this dog or purchase the dog back.  This is because most dogs we take back will be adopted into an Amazing home and we don't ask any adoption fee!  

We screen our adopters extensively before they can adopt any adult dog, home checks are done and Vet Reference's are required. 

Make sure to keep your dogs AKC registration somewhere safe as that will need to come back with this said dog.  

We provide this option to all of our puppy buyers to help prevent any of our puppies going into a shelter or rescue.  We will gladly take them back or help you find them a home as quick as possible.  They can enter our adoption program and we will find them loving homes. 

To Do List:

1st day home: Register your puppy with the AKC. 
         Do this on day one.  Why? 
After you register your puppy online they will email you a certificate for a FREE initial Vet visit!  

On 01/05/2023 I was contacted by a new owner who had printed the AKC Complimentary Certificate. 
However, the Veterinarian DID NOT accept this Certificate.

So this does not happen to you, below is a link to find out which Clinics will honor your certificate.  

It is also a good idea to call and make sure they will honor it!

 You can print this off the initial vet visit coupon and take it to your veterinarian for this pups initial 72hr vet visit as we explained above is good to do! 
Make sure you advise your veterinarian this is a checkup only, this puppy will NOT be due for any vaccinations at this current time.
Do schedule their 2nd visit when the next booster is due.  
Once again.  

Tell your veterinarian:

"Please only give my puppy a core vaccination 5 strain, do NOT give my puppy the LEPTO Vaccine".

HOLD FIRM!  Tell them "My Breeder will NOT back this puppy if it has been given a LEPTO vaccine!"

If you believe you need help with the AKC registration once home, call me.  I will walk you through it! 
Go slow.  The AKC will automatically preselect options for you.  You don't need these things.  If you want them that is great.  But, it is a way to bring the price up high as well.  

To register your puppy will only be around $37 without all the other options.

AKC Registration Name – We work hard to provide you a good quality dog with a sound pedigree and genetics.  We ask you use our kennel name behind your dog’s call name, it will be written on your pups registration form.  You will enter your dogs call name (Ex. Kujo) in front of our kennel name when you register this puppy online.  This is why we write our kennel name on the AKC form, so you know exactly how we spell it.  This really helps Pedigree enthusiasts continue to track where dogs come from.  It means a lot to us Breeders!   Don’t worry, you still get to choose the dogs “NAME”.  Just use our Kennel Name at the end of the dog’s name when you register this puppy!

Ok, by now you are getting very tired of reading my long email.  Trust me, It’s only because I have the best intentions for your amazing puppy!

Let’s get into some other things you want to know:

DIET:

We are feeding Diamond Naturals Large Breed Puppy and Wildology Play, a 50/50 mix while with us.  

Shown earlier above!
  We provide you with some in your puppy pack.

We love raw bones from the butcher!

We love hard boiled eggs & scrambled eggs!

We love Sure Grow 100 Supplement!

Psyllium HUSK too! 1 tablespoon per 2 cups of food. (ORDER SOME TO HAVE IT WHEN YOUR PUPPY COMES HOME).

DO NOT feed any food with (Peas, Legumes or Pea Flour).
In 2023 - They did decide that they are not linked to DCM, however they are endocrine disruptors and the study was done on Beagles and for a short period of time.  Beagles are not predisposed to DCM.  Other breeds are however!  

The study was not nearly long enough to prove or disprove that legumes do NOT cause DCM.  

We would rather play it safe and not feed foods with any Peas or Legumes!

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spay and Neuter 

Please do NOT spay/neuter your dog until at least 18 months of age or wait until 2 years of age if you can!

Early spay/neuter is believed to be causing hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, CCL tears and more issues in large breed dogs.

These dogs NEED their hormones to fully develop. 

Health Insurance for your Dog:

We highly recommend AKC and you can purchase it

 directly after you register your puppy!

AKC Pet Insurance!  Our #1 Choice!

This day and age I am going to tell you it is a necessary evil.  I have sold puppies that later ate foreign objects causing bowel blockages.  Surgeries are so very expensive.  We recommend you keep insurance on your puppy until 2 years of age at the lest!  Later if you can.  However, puppies are the ones that get into everything and get hurt when you least expect!

Puppies can get into toxins and require emergency visits.  The costs add up!

Cancer in Dogs:

This is a serious issue.  Serious!  Most dogs die from cancer. 
It could be from all the things we throw at their sensitive systems. 
A dog’s body is not built to last as long as ours.   Yet we continue to throw monthly systematical PESTICIDES at them.  

They are absorbed into their system and kill fleas and ticks.  Mites too!

Do we use products like this on ourselves?  NO!  

We use sprays that help as a deterrent from bug bites during the summer!

Consider that.  Please!

Before you give your dog a chewable flea and tick preventative read the article below:

Look into natural alternatives for flea and tick deterrents.  

I am going to provide what we use below:

 I have used this product, I love it!  Find it here: 

Prevention is key, which is why we like deterrents over systematical killers.  In order for a tick to die it has to bite the dog that has taken a monthly preventative, still creating a risk for disease and bacteria.  A deterrent like a spray will make a tick not want to even stay on your dog’s coat and get off! 

Tick bites can cause Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Anaplasmosis, Hepatozoonosis and Babesiosis.

Try different sprays, shampoos with neem and peppermint oil added and more.  The idea is to make a tick not want to BITE your dog in the 1st place! 

These natural sprays need to be applied daily.

Yes, it is more work for you.  Your dog is worth it!

Toys:

NO, NO, None of the below toys:

·         NO Rope Toys

·         No Toys that can be chewed apart and swallowed causing a blockage.

YES, These are good toys:

·         Kong

·         Deer Antlers

·         Heavy rubber toys

·         Heavy rubber toys that squeak

Don’t waste your money on dog beds.  Well, the you know the ones.

We love the dog cots from K9 Ballistics, you will too!

Training Treats:

Micro-Chip:

This puppy is Micro-Chipped!

Lifetime Breeder Support:

We also promise lifetime breeder support.  We have seen a lot and have been breeding for many years!  I may not know all the answers but am here when you need me.  I am always available and willing to help you find the answers!

Email, text or call me at any time if your pup is having an issue.  I want to know.

1st Aid Kit:

Hydrogen Peroxide:

It’s a good thing to always have a dog 1st aid kit prepared.  You never know when your pet will get hurt or ingest something it should not!  Please keep Hydrogen Peroxide on hand.  If your dog consumes a poison or (sock, rope toy or anything that may cause an intestinal blockage) give them Hydrogen Peroxide quickly.  It is safe and induces vomiting.  It will get out most the poison or object consumed.  Then contact your veterinarian quickly for further instructions.

Benadryl / Diphenhydramine:

Keep this on hand at all times.  If your dog has an allergic reaction this is super safe to give.  Our dog was bit by a rattle snake years ago.  I dosed her with Benadryl, put her in the car and drove her to K-State!   K-State was amazed at her condition and I advised them quickly after the bite she was given a fairly large dose of Benadryl.  They were very happy.  Her recovery was jump started thanks to quick action.

As quick as could be for a Snake Bite!

Potty Training:

There are so many good ways to potty train a dog.  You may have to find your own way.  When we are potty training a puppy, they are on a strict feeding schedule.  Twice Daily.  In the morning then once again at 4 p.m.
No food is placed down past the 4 p.m. feeding time. 

Water is pulled up one hour before the human’s bedtime.

Potty your puppy many times during the day but mostly after each time they WAKE UP from a nap or AFTER they eat!

Potty your puppy before you go to bed.  If food was picked up after the 4 p.m. feeding they should have a much easier time holding it all night.  Don't leave kibble down for your puppy to free feed.

PREVENTION IS KEY!

This breed potty trains so quick.
 You got this!
