If you are unhappy with your puppy. Remember you do have the choice to return it within two days. Everyone is given the opportunity to hold, play and socialize with their puppy. Many people also ask for many photos before they adopt a puppy. This helps in having in mind the puppy you want before you adopt it. Ultimately you picked out the puppy. If for some reason it does not work out for you within a couple of days. Please allow someone else to adopt your puppy. This rarely happens but you do get those people whom decide they are not ready for a new family member.
 

This is the way your puppy's shot records and Contract will look like.  It will be inside the crate.  You must read and abide by it to activate it.  If for some reason you did not get it in your crate. You may print this one out.

Tips to have a positive experience with your new puppy.

It is very important puppy goes to the vet with in 72 hours. Sometimes puppies experience stress from being away from their litter mates. They get sad and refuse to eat. NOT eating can bring on Hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia is due to lack of food and stress caused to the puppy. This can be avoided as long as the buyer keeps food accessible to the puppy 24 hours. Remember these puppies are toy breeds. This a common threat that toy puppies experience when they are played with to much or they are not allowed to eat every 3 to 4 hours. Simple $7.00 tube of nutri-cal can avoid expensive vet bills and of course doing exactly what the breeder did in caring for the puppy. This is why I welcome questions. Questions don't cost nothing. Vet bills do.

2. It is very important that you have your puppy access to food at all times. Upon arrival mix baby chicken food with the dry food. Do this if you see your puppy refuses to eat. This food will be irresistible to him and he will want to eat. Make sure as soon as he gets use to you and his new environment.  He is put back on all dry food. Dry food is always best for puppies health and growth.

3. Always no matter what get a fecal check on your first visit to the vet. 100% of the time puppies have treatable conditions that can be helped within those 24 first hours. We do treat for all of these things but stress and being away from their litter mate can bring out coccidia that was not present at the time of shipment.

4. As of Dec 1. 2004. Every puppy that leaves will be given albon for stress and environment change.   Please give the puppy 1/2 cc for  the next 10 days.  I take pride in sending healthy puppies upon shipment and do expect the buyer to take the puppy upon arrival to the vet ASAP. Please make a vet appointment prior to puppy arriving.

5. Take time to locate a vet. You will be surprised that many vets have different fees for the same services. It took me 3 months before I found the perfect vet for me and  my puppies.

She cares and loves my animals and does not charge me an arm and a leg. It took time and research, but am very satisfied with my vet.

6. Read and read as much as you can. The net is full of tons of free information that is there for the take. I have provided some links on my web under the page "Contact Us."

Please understand that we want you to have a positive experience with your puppy. Puppies are like humans as well who do experience sadness and loss when taken away from their litter mates. This can be helped as long as you know what to do and how to care for your puppy. Many web links provide endless amounts of information on how to care for a new puppy. http://puppychow.com . Please take the time to read and feel free to ask me any questions. I'm here to help you.

I have been caring for puppies for 18 years as well as breeding as a hobby.
