• Questions to answer for possible placement of
  puppy
• Have you ever had the breed? If so, do you still
  have it and if not, please explain why.
• Are you aware of the puppies grooming needs?
• Have you done any research on the breed?
• Do you have an area that the puppy can be outside
  and play without the danger of getting in the
  road? Is the area fenced?
• If you work, what will you do with the pup during
  the day?
• Do you have small children and if so, are you
  aware that they will need to be instructed as to
  the care and handling of the pup?
• Why do you feel you could give this little one a
  safe, loving and responsible home?
• If you rent or lease you home have you checked
  with the landlord to make sure that it is alright
  to have a pet?

6

• Please remember that any question that is ask of
  you is only to make sure that you are aware of
  the needs of the puppy and that you have thought
  it through.
• I have had several families to tell me that they
  are glad that I ask the questions, because it
  made them think.
• Some families have realized that they were not
  ready for the responsibility of a puppy at that
  time.
• I want a happy puppy and a happy family.
• I want my puppies to have a Forever home with
  their new families. Not a home until the family
  realizes that they dont have time or the new
  wears off the puppy.
• PLEASE think about it, before making a decision.
• Do you have the time, money and love to give to a
  puppy. They deserve the best that they can get.
• A puppy will give more than you could ever
  believe but you have to be willing to give. This
  is not a one sided thing.

7

  a promise, but I try)

  littermates

• Notes to Remember
• A puppy is a baby
• Must handle with care
• If small children, please monitor them to make
  sure that they do not fall on the puppy or pick
  it up and hurt it by dropping it or being to
  rough on it
• Very Important Do not take you puppy to a pet
  store
• It is very possible that you little one could get
  a virus, disease, sickness, etc. if around
  another dog or puppy that is sick or if someone
  has handled a sick dog or pup and then touches
  you pup.
• It is not very protected until it has had ALL
  of its vaccines.

9

• Vet Visits
• Very Important that you take your puppy for ALL
  of its vaccinations.
• Do not put puppy on floor at vets office
• Do not let people handle your puppy
• You may have walked in with a happy, healthy
  puppy, but you may be leaving with a time bomb
  just waiting to go off the virus could be
  starting to develop inside your puppy and you
  dont even know it
• Make sure you have your vet number posted so that
  you and others know who to call in case of an
  emergency

10

• Puppies vet visit while at the kennel
• I take the puppy to the vet and the puppy stays
  in the vehicle until the vet is ready to check
  the puppies
• I then take them in to the exam room
• After their examination I take them back to the
  vehicle
• No one touches them in the waiting room
• I then go back in and pay the bill
• This way, I feel that I have done all that I can
  do to prevent the puppy from coming in contact
  with other dogs, puppies and people.

11

• You say, Im ready to give a puppy a loving and
  responsible home.

• Answer the questions
• Tell me the puppy you are interested in.
• If delivery is needed, please give city and
  state. If willing to meet part way, please tell

• I will reply to you as soon as possible. I try
  to within 24 hours. But, please be patient. I
  try and spend as much time as possible with the
  puppies.
• If delivery is needed, then it may take a little
  time for us to figure, just depends on the time I
  receive the request.
• Weekend deliveries only.

  you delivery quote (if needed)
• Two forms will be sent to you for your signature

  delivery agreement (will need to be paid up front
  before the puppy can leave from here).

  money orders, cashier checks and cash (possibly
  Paypal).

13

• My concerns are two things
• First, will the puppy have a happy, healthy,
  loving, caring and responsible home to live in
  His/Her Forever home?
• Is the puppy healthy, so that the family that is
  getting him/her will have many years to love and
  have him/her as a family member?
• I do the best that I can to make sure that both
  the puppy and the family will be very happy.
