- Continued Resource

SOCIALIZATION
Socialization begins FROM DAY #1 so that they are comfortable with people (especially children) and other pets. To achieve this, our puppies are born into a loving family environment, surrounded by small children, cats and dogs of all sizes. They are raised in my home (not a kennel) and nurtured until they are ready to go to their new home. I give each animal individual attention away from their littermates to help build self-confidence and individual identity. When they are 6 weeks old, they start coming to work with me at my doggy daycare / grooming / obedience center where they get tons of socialization.

TRAINING & MANNERS
In addition to socialization, I put tremendous training time into my puppies. When your puppy comes to you, they are 90% trained - - crate trained, housebroken, leash trained and ride well in the car. I also teach manners which includes no jumping, biting, nipping, mouthing or barking.

I believe that, because of this, my puppies are very outgoing, lovable and laid back. They follow you everywhere and enjoy the attention!

ADDITIONAL RESOURCE
I remain available to you as a resource after your purchase to advise and support for typical problems encountered in raising, training and caring for your animal.

5-YEAR GENETIC HEALTH GUARANTEE
I offer a 5-year genetic health guarantee on any puppy/kitten purchased from me. This guarantee requires that, at the expense of Purchaser, Purchaser must have the puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian within three (3) days of receipt of puppy. Additionally, in the case where the puppy is purchased for breeding, a health certificate should be acquired and a copy should be forwarded to me within seven (7) business days.

OLDER PUPPIES
We will be happy to hold back a puppy for those that want an older, trained pup for an additional fee. At 100% trained, they will be able to do the following:

- Basic training commands such as sit, down, come, stay
- Walk on a lease without pulling
- Ride well in the car without anxiety

Additionally, they are crate trained and 100% housebroken here (where they use a doggy door.) There may be a couple of accidents until they get used to a new home, but these accidents are typically limited to a day or two. Additionally, they receive additional socialization at my doggy day care / obedience center as they go to work with me. This seems to work well for busy people who don't have time to train a puppy; you still get your "best friend" - - only better!
