| ARE YOU REALLY READY FOR A NEW PUPPY?? CLICK HERE PLEASE AND READ. |
Welcome to our information page on our puggles and other puppies. Please be sure that you are
truly ready for the commitment of a new puppy, they are a huge responsibility and we want to be
sure that all who buy from us understand that it is a serious commitment. Puppies need lots of
attention and training and will need their new family to be understanding through the good and the
bad (puppy stages!). There are many, many puppies and dogs in animal shelters, (please read
our Shelter Info page also.) and we would hate to hear that you had to give your puppy up, not
realizing how much work they are. Try to remember that potty training will take some time and
puppies don't have the "ability" to "hold it" for long periods of time, until they are between 5 and 6
months of age, so try to set your puppy up for SUCCESS, and don't be too hard on them if they
have accidents in the house, or while you are out, it's not their fault, they just "couldn't" hold it. The
first year will be lots of work, but in the end, the love you get from your puppy will out-weigh the
work. :) Its advisable to buy a new puppy book. You can order our Puggle Book on-line here
ahead of time and study up, or they will be available to purchase when you pick up your new
puppy. For any other breed, you can check with us to see if we have those particular breed books
on hand for you to purchase, otherwise pick one up at your local pet supply store.
Our puggles and other puppies come from trusted breeders. We have done the research on
them, so you don't have to. They are flown in TWO per crate, so that each has a little flying buddy.
We really try never to fly in one puppy by itself. They arrive normally on a Wednesday and we
settle them in. Occasionally we have to reschedule the arrival to the following week, please be
flexible if this is to happen, it's not often, but there is always just a chance of this happening for
whatever reason and we are always looking out for the animal. If we are taking Professional
Portraits of your litter, they are normally taken Thursday or Friday night, and then appointments are
scheduled starting that Saturday morning and over that weekend. We occasionally schedule
Friday appointments. If you don't need the portraits (and we don't need to take them for our own
purposes) and you would like to pick up your puppy sooner like a Wednesday or Thursday
evening, that is always possible just check with us ahead of time.
All of our puppies will have their current shots up to date as of the time they leave the Breeders,
however your vet might start them over again on their shots, and will also give them another
worming at the vet check. All vets are different, so take whatever advice they give you on that.
Normally, your puppy will just need its initial vet check a couple days after picking up from us, then
the next set of shots will be at 12 weeks. Since they go through high stress in travel to get here,
they are more susceptible to stomach upsets, and colds and such. If your puppy comes down with
something, don't worry, it will be easy to treat. The instance of this is very rare now, but always
possible. You will want to schedule your first vet check for the Monday or Tuesday at the latest,
after bringing home your new puppy on Saturday. We do everything we can to make their stay with
us as comfortable as possible, and make sure they have lots of attention and cuddles while here
with us.
In most cases, your Puggle will come with their vaccination records, a microchip pamphlet (or Avid
800#), and their ACHC or ICA hybrid registration form. If you purchase one of our other breeds,
they will come with either their hybrid registration form, or purebred registration. All of our puppies
are registered. Also, included is the CD of all images taken of the litter, (if applicable) which will
include single portraits of your puppy, and occasionally group portraits of the litter as well. Also,
you will receive the Puggle Screensaver for your computer with approximately 100 images of
Puggles. (This is given only if you have use for one).
The way our deposit process works is, once a deposit is left with us, the order of deposits is what
determines the order of our appointment scheduling. For example, If there are 4 boys to choose
from in a litter and you leave the first deposit on a boy in that litter, you will have choice from 4 boys
when you come to pick out your puppy. If you leave the deposit 2nd, you will have choice of 3 boys
in the litter. Make sense? Deposits are taken by credit card over the phone, and you pay the
balance the day you pick up your puppy. We accept cash or credit, if credit a 3% transaction fee
will apply. If you are in California, there will be a 7.75% tax. Deposits are non-refundable so you
need to be sure you are getting a puppy from that particular litter date before you leave your
deposit. You are welcome to view the puppies, but the way they have been selling, by the time the
litter even arrives here, they are all sold, so you would be able to see them, but they would already
have had deposits on by someone else. Each litter we have had has sold prior to their arrival
date. Of course if we have available puppies at the time you come for a viewing, you are welcome
to fall in love and take one home! In that case, just call us any Friday night that you see we have a
litter the following day, and we'll schedule you an appointment for Saturday to come "look".
Occasionally, we will have litters that will be chosen by photo's only, and in that case it wont matter
the order of appointments, since everyone would have chosen their puppy already by photo. You
would need to contact us directly and inquire on direct shipping puppies available and we can
email you photo's of the one's that are available for direct shipping at that time. OR you can view
the available direct shipping pups HERE. They are available for shipping all across the United
States, and of course in California.
Please email us if you have any questions at all. We are here to help you get the Puggle or other
breed you've been searching for!!

What?!
Peter Rabbit - Ear chewed by
Scarlett - This is what happens
when you leave certain toys with
your puppy, unattended. Always
be sure you know your puppies
chewing habbits before you leave
toys with them when they are not
being watched.

non-chew-proof toy she can get
her paws on!

EX-PEN PUPPY SET UP
This Ex-Pen Set-up above is the perfect form of containment while your puppy is in "Training". It
basically is a 30 inch Ex-Pen connected together in a rectangular shape. (you can also put it
together in a perfect square with the crate in the back corner.) There is a 24 inch crate with a
divider panel in the end corner. You will use the divider panel while your puppy is small so the
space they have in the crate is just big enough for them to stand up, turn around, and lay down. If
your crate is too big for them in the beginning, they will potty in the crate. You can get beds that
fit perfectly into these crates. The way it is shown is without the divider panel, so there are
smaller beds that will fit in the front while you are training them. The crate door should be left
open for the first few months while your puppy grows and learns and is able to hold it for longer
periods of time. The floor is a piece of linoleum from home depot, the entire roll of it that we cut
out cost only $12.00 - check their clearance rolls that they have available. Cut it in the shape of
the size of your ex-pen area. So, if your puppy has to have an accident, it is on this piece of
linoleum, where it is easy to clean up and you are setting your puppy up for success by having the
door open to the crate so they are not forced to have an accident inside their crate. Always have
water available to them, those water bowls you can find at most pet stores that screw onto the
side of the ex-pen. Leave only tough toys alone with them in case they are strong chewers, and
always remove their collar when you are not home. Monitor how long you leave them alone and
how many accidents they are having in those periods of time, and eventually when you start to
see them having less and less accidents, it's time to start the crate training with the crate only and
the door shut. Just make sure you start with short periods of time in the crate with the door shut
while you are home, use treats as rewards, and build up to longer time periods while you leave
the room and the house.

The carpet floor is lined with Linoleum, if you have hard wood floors you
can use this or painters-tape down some vinyl plastic sheeting instead.
