FAQ
1. Q: Where do you get your puppies from?
A: I use out of state breeders for direct shipping. The one I am currently
using is located in Arkansas and I have been using him since I started my
business. I use the same breeder when I bring the puppies to my place in
California for local customers. I have received some wonderful dogs from
this breeder and have more of a family relationship with him, than a business
relationship. He really cares about his dogs and takes very good care of
them. I currently can offer you Hybrids and certain Purebreds.
2. Q: Can I come to pick up my puppy in person rather than having it
shipped to me?
A: Yes. Please call or email for additional info. On the puppies available
pages you will see if they are available for pick up or for shipping directly to
the customer. Please see my TESTIMONIALS page for references.
3. Q: What does my puppy come with?
A: If you choose direct shipping, your puppy will be shipped to you in a
shipping crate with a baby blanket and padded shredded paper in order to
keep the moisture away when it has an accident in transit. Taped to your
crate will be a baggie of food in case of flight delays (not common), and an
envelope with the paperwork. Included is the Vaccination record for you to
take with you the next day to your first vet visit, the Hybrid or Purebred
Registration Card, and the Avid Microchip pamphlet for you to complete and
send in to link up your information to the puppies chip number.
4. Q: Is a hybrid just another fancy name for a mutt?
A: No, there are 3 classes of dogs. A Hybrid, a Mixed Breed (also known
as a mutt) and a Purebred.
5. Q: What is the difference between a mixed breed and a hybrid?
A: A mixed breed is usually conceived through a random encounter or by
accident. A female dog will go into heat and one of the neighborhood dogs
will make his way into the yard and now you have a mixed breed. There isn’t
much thought given to it and the results are unpredictable. A hybrid on the
other hand is made by a competent breeder taking two registered purebreds
and mating them together. There is a lot of care taken to make sure the dogs
come from good lines, not having any genetic defects, making sure the
female is larger than the male to prevent puppies from being to big for the
mom etc... Many breeders now have multiple generations of good hybrid
breeding with predictable results.
6. Q: Why are they called designer dogs?
A: Designer dogs are bred for specific reasons, for example: minimizing
allergies to shedding and dander, or having good temperaments as family
pets. The term sometimes refers to them in a popular sense as well.
7. Q: Where can I get my new puppy?
A: The first place you should check with is your local humane society. There
are many great dogs to be found there and you just may find what you’re
looking for. Once you've tried the shelters and humane society, if you still
have not found one that suits your living needs, you can e-mail me to see if I
can help you locate the breed you are searching for.
8. Q: Do hybrids have more health problems than purebreds?
A: No, Most experts agree that purebred dogs tend to have a higher
incidence of hereditary genetic defects. This is because the majority of
purebred breeders are focused on physical and temperament traits, in the
hopes of producing a dog that will show well. The best purebred breeders will
do their best to reduce these risks but cannot guarantee them. In terms of
our Puggles, I only bring in First Generation (Beagle mom, Pug dad). Since
there is no health history out there on 2nd generation, I stick to the First
Generation only.
9. Q: What is the most popular hybrid?
A: The Puggle is still the most popular hybrid at this time. However, Poodle
mixes are very popular as well due to their limited shedding. For Example,
the Cockapoo, Cavapoo, Labradoodle and Goldendoodle.
