Litters
(scroll down for the list of litters)
By the time they go home at 8 weeks, our puppies:
- have walked on at least 7 different surfaces, eaten in at least 7 different locations from at least 7 different bowls/plates, and played with at least 7 different toys
- have had the US Army SuperDog program from days 3-16
- are started in socialization (our goal is to have them meet at least 50-100 people before they leave, but it's the new owner's job to continue this!)
- are started in clicker training
- have been for a ride in the car
- have been in a crate
- are microchipped
- are CERF eye tested
- are AKC registered (on Limited registration except in very specific circumstances)
- are appropriately dewormed (usually weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8) and vet checked
- are vaccinated once against Distemper/Parvo
If you are interested in a puppy, please contact me. It helps a lot if you tell me a bit about yourself, your experience with dogs, your plans for a puppy, your lifestyle, what you like about Vallhunds, if you've managed to meet any in person, etc. Our puppies are a labor of love and placing them in loving homes is our top priority. We try to match puppies to homes (in general, we will narrow down the choices for you, and steer you towards the puppy or puppies we feel will fit best into your home, we will have spent 8 weeks with the puppies by the time they are ready to go to their new homes, so our assessment of the puppies, combined with what we've learned about you, will help us try to make a good match). While we obviously give preference to people who contacted us first when placing puppies, we do not do "first come first served" as a general rule, we want the right puppy in the right home. I will provide lifetime "technical support" for you and your puppy, you can contact me at any time for any reason and I will do my best to help you. All puppies are sent home on a contract signed by the new owner and myself, outlining our respective responsibilities. Puppies MUST be returned to me if at any time in their lives the owner cannot keep them, they must never be abandoned or surrendered to a shelter.
