This
is
required
reading of all
who wish to be
considered for
one of our
puppies.
Please
understand our
process of
placing our
puppies is to
make sure the
best match
possible is
made between
puppy and new
owner. If you
contact us
about one of
our litters it
will be asked
if you have
read this page
in it's
entirety and
understand it
completely.
Puppies are
the cutest
little things.
I haven’t seen
one yet that
wasn’t
adorable. As a
breeder, it is
important for
me to make
sure my babies
go in caring,
loving homes.
After the
“cuteness”
wears off, you
will have a
puppy that
requires a
great deal of
time and
attention.
Please take
the time to
read the
information
contained
below before
filling out an
application
for our
puppies.
As
soon as our
puppies are
born, we start
watching their
growth and
development.
I keep track
of which puppy
walks first,
which one
climbs/falls
out of the
whelping box
first, which
puppy is the
bully, which
one is the
push-over and
everything in
between.
The reason I
do this is so
that when the
time comes to
place the
puppies into
new homes, I
can ensure
that the right
puppy goes to
live with the
right
family.
This is of
vital
importance to
me because if
a family gets
a puppy that
is too laid
back, or on
the other
hand, too
dominant for
their
household,
neither the
puppy nor the
family will be
completely
happy with the
arrangement.
In
my placements,
I try to
ensure that my
puppies make
it to their
"forever" home
on the first
try; that they
don't have to
come back to
find a new
home when they
are
older.
This is very
hard on the
family,
myself, and
most
importantly,
it is very
hard on the
dog.
When
I am making
the decision
as to which
puppy will go
to which
family, many
factors come
into play:
- The
family
unit as a
whole
(children or
adults only
& other
family pets)
- If
there are
children, how
old are they
and have they
had experience
with pets
before?
- How
active
is the family?
- Has
the
family owned a
dog,
specifically a
Boxer,
before?
- Is
the family
willing to
follow our
diet and
vaccine
recommendations?
- Is
the family
willing to
spay or neuter
their pet?
- Is
the family
willing to
allow us to
show their
pet?
- What
type
of activities
does the
family want to
participate in
with their
pet?
|
Of
course, I also
take into
consideration
the family's
preference for
color and
gender, but I
will not place
a puppy I feel
is unsuitable
(for any
reason) into a
home simply
because they
"want a girl"
or a "flashy
brindle
puppy".
In cases where
we don't feel
we have a
puppy that
will suit your
home, we may
recommend
another
breeder with
another
litter, or we
may recommend
that you wait
for our next
litter.
In
either case
(you get a
puppy or you
don't), expect
not to know
which puppy
you are
getting a
puppy until
the litter is
at least six
to
eight weeks of
age. I
cannot make
decisions
about
placement
based on
temperament or
conformation
prior to that
time.
As a
buyer, the
choice is
yours as to
the breeder
you want to
deal
with. If
you don't like
the way I
place my
puppies into
their new
homes, that is
absolutely
100% your
prerogative.
I am more than
willing to
help you find
a breeder you
can
trust. I
completely
understand
that the way I
raise, rear
and place my
puppies is not
everyone's
ideal.
However,
if
you decide to
purchase a
puppy from me,
my promise to
you is that I
will always be
up-front and
honest with
you...even if
I know you may
not want to
hear what I
have to say.
The puppies I
raise were
brought into
this world by
me and
therefor I
feel it is my
responsibility
to them for
life that I
ensure they
have a happy
& safe
home for their
entire life.
If
you are still
interested in
owning one of
our puppies,
please contact
us via our
questionnaire
to complete
and return to
us for us to
start to get
to know you
better. Please
include if you
have viewed
our puppies
and interested
in a specific
puppy.
