For Those Picking Up Puppies this Weekend
For those picking up puppies this weekend, there's a few things you need to bring with you.
- A puppy holder - the puppy needs to ride on someone's lap on the way home. Do not stick him/her in a box in the back where he is terrified even more that he needs be.
- A blanket - this is to rub on Cruz so that the puppy has a familiar smell to cuddle up with. This can be put in the crate that will be beside your bed. But be careful. If he starts to chew the blanket, take it out.
- Clean up bag - Your puppy will get sick on the way home. All puppies do so come prepared. The only good thing about it is that they give you warning before they do. They will start to drool profusely! Then YARK!
- Do not come early - I know it's exciting for you but I have back to back to back appointments and if you come early you will have to sit in your car and wait.
- Be patient - there is a ton of papers to fill out and a ton of things to talk about. Try and read through the book I gave you so if you have any questions, they can be answered. Young children will be bored so please leave them at home.
- You must have 3 names picked out for your puppy. This is for the CKC registration papers. This is in case your name has been used before, they will go to the next or the next if necessary. The register name does not have to be the same as the call name. I had a stud dog named Diesel and his registered name was Marcellus' I Am Canadian because he was born on July 1. All pups from that litter had a Canadian based name.
That's it for now! See you all soon!

I need to know if all the new puppy owners received my gift. I sent it as a group message and wanted to make sure it worked. Please let me know that you received it.
Thanks,

Your Puppies Have Been Picked!
Everyone getting a Cruz/Rommel 2018 puppy needs to check their emails! Your puppy has been picked! There's a couple of you who still need to make an appointment for pick up. Some I have no dates, some I have dates but no times. Be sure to book 2 hours to be here for paperwork and discussion. Best if you leave the younger kids at home. It's very boring! Please check in with date/times ASAP!
As for payment, interac epayments are best but cash or certified cheques are fine as well.
Congratulations Puppy Owners! The excitement is coming to a crescendo!!

A Favourite Treat
Mary Ann
This is an awesome treat for your dogs. And the best part is... it actually lasts! It is actually hardened cheese from Nepal. They are pricey but as I said, they last. A large one will last for days here and that's with several dogs taking a turn at it. And when it gets down to just a small piece (I just read this on their website), you can put the piece in the microwave and it "puffs". And then you can feed the cheese puff to your dog! Once it cools of course.
Happy chewing my friends!

Puppies were Aptitude Tested Today
One of the exercises is to hold the puppy off the ground two feet for 30 seconds. Depending on their reaction they will get a number. The reaction may be, fight and flail, fight then relax, fight then relax then fight, hang rigid, hang relaxed, etc. There are about a dozen exercises and all of them combined will help me determine the aptitude of that puppy. There are no right or wrong behaviours. They just are what they are. I hope by Monday night to have puppies picked for you. Or actually maybe Tuesday night as the vet is here on Monday to do health checks, vaccinations, deworming, and microchipping. It makes for a long day. I take these puppy pick decisions incredibly serious. As my husband! He will tell you I lose sleep over it! I want to be sure you get the BEST dog for you and your family. I know it's hard to wait, but I promise. It's worth it!
