When you pick up your puppy
We understand that it is a very exciting day for you and your family when the time finally arrives for you to pick up your puppy.
We will give you a time that is convienient to you and would appreciate it if you could come as near to that time as possible. We know exactly where we are when we give you a set time as some of our pups have long journeys ahead of them and we need to plan their meals ahead of time so that they are not eating straight before a long car journey. We want each family to be able to ask any questions and have our undivided attention and this can only be done one at a time, a number of families all turning up at once wouldnt work for this reason.
We will go through the feeding instructions, worming record etc with you. We will have ready your kc documents, insurance, microchip forms etc. You will be asked to sign a contract of sale (See bottom of page for contract).
When you are 100% happy that we have answered all your queries you will then be able to take your little one home. Please remember that we are only a phone call away should you need any help or advise.
