So I can answer your questions better. Also when you send your payments can you put the mom & dad name (or at least the moms name) on a paper so I can credit everyone properly. Visiting Day: So you know Visiting Day is an open house for people who have deposits on that litter. (At this point we both have a signed Contract and Payment & pick up schedule. (The visiting day will be scheduled before the pups go home.) you do not have to confirm you are coming or give me an exact time. just show up in the time frame I give you. It is just that; a visiting day. A day to see the pups, hold the pups interact with them, take pictures if you wish. We go out to the kennel see all the big dogs. Ask any questions (You do not pick out a pup.) on this day. I give you a huge folder of reading material such as; How to fill out AKC papers (that you will need to do on pick up day.) Care & Maintence (about 10 or more pages on feeding & care) I can e-mail this to you sooner just send me an e-mail and ask for it.) But it is in the folder. Puppy visit to the vet info page (on pick up day you will get the actual Vet Health certificate for you to show your vet.) Prevent destructive chewing with even more info on the other side Important pointers to new puppy owners. Crate training. House Breaking and more..... In your folder you will also receive a book from proplan and a filing system for all your paperwork. On visiting day I also answer any questions as a group so if you forget to ask something someone else may ask and everyone benefits from any questions. Also on this day I like to schedule you Pick Up & pick out day. Note: It is not to your benefit of anyone to pick out early; the dogs are preg for only 63 days that’s it. So every day is a huge developmental change for them. So you visit the entire litter on visiting day, just seeing them & take pictures if you wish. Then on pick up day you will see what you are actually getting because they change so much, it is not to your benefit to pick out a pup to early. I don’t know why people feel differently. Pick up and Pick out Day: *** OK, now on Pick Up Day people come at a scheduled time as I have received there deposits 1 appt for example is at 10 am. They come do Paper work, ask any questions, pick out a pup take it home, next person on the waiting list comes say at least one hour later they play do paperwork pick out a pup take it home and so on.. This is all talked about on the payment schedule everyone signs when they leave a deposit and sign the contract. On this day you will get the actual Vet Health certificate for you to show your vet, Fill out the actual AKC papers if you want them. And also if you have a balance left on your pup (by pick up day) it must be paid in full with cash before the pup leaves my home. Another question I get often is: As far as pictures, If I have time I will take pictures ,Then I will call you and email them to you. Honestly this has not happened very often. But please on visiting day and pick up day feel free to come with a camra and take all the pictures you want with your family and the pups.. Is the food you recommend still Purina Pro Plan Puppy, chicken and rice or lamb and rice? It is Puppy chicken & rice, (lamb is great for digestion), but it good to keep a food like lamb incase you dog has an issue with foods like allergies if you start out with lamb you have no where else to go but veterinary special diet foods that can be very expensive. So pups leave my house and should continue to get Pro plan Puppy chicken & rice for life but when they are 6 mos. You will go to Pro Plan adult chicken & rice all the feeding info will be in your folder. Do you recommend the plastic hard sided crate or the open wire crate from Midwest? I like the Midwest Life stages crate (the have a recomended size for labs on the box, that crate also come with a divider panel to use as your pups grows) . And they are reasonably priced.But you can get any brand that is reasonably priced ( you do not need to spend a ton of money on a crate. Try target & Wal-Mart stores like that for prices before you go to a pet store. On the box it will tell you the correct size for each breed. You do Not need a collar when you pick up your pup. When you get your pup home take a piece of yarn measure the pups neck, take it to any store and get an adjustable collar your pup will grow very fast. Do Not take a pup of this young age or even before it has it’s complete set of shots (16 weeks) to a pet store. I am sorry if this is repetitive, I feel like I give you an overload of stuff, But it is stuff people ask over & over again. ****If you would like to read or print out this next page it is what I call care and Maintenance I will also give you a copy on pick up day Click to read my care and Maintenance page *******How to get and fill out AKC papers on pick up day; if you want them.
