| How do I choose a puppy online? |
Choosing a puppy to be committed to for the next 15 plus years can be a daunting
task! Often we are asked how one can choose a puppy online successfully.
We have very healthy dogs and do not breed any dog with a health issue. We have
been very successful in breeding healthy, balanced puppies. We socialize our pups
well, with handling by our children every day. We spend time with and talk to each
puppy daily and give them treats (cheese usually.) We let the moms wean the
puppies naturally at around 6-7 weeks of age, so that she has time to socialize them
to the world of the dog pack. We also keep the pups together until 8 weeks of age,
as they do a lot of socialization among themselves as well.
We do temperament testing between 6 and 7 weeks of age. This means we sit down
with each pup and run them through a variety of tests that help us to understand
what the pup's temperament is going to be, naturally. These tests are incredibly
accurate. We post each puppy's results along with a current photo on our website,
and then everyone chooses their pup in the order in which they placed their
deposits. If a family is not able to find a good match in the litter they placed a
deposit on, we can switch that deposit to another current litter or a future litter. The
deposits are non-refundable but we do allow just about any amount of switching
around. We also welcome visitors out to our ranch to visit with us, the pups, and
the parents and to participate in the temperament testing.
