ACQUIRING A PUP

HERE'S A LOOK AT HOW WE HANDLE PUPPY INQUIRIES, COMMUNICATION, AND PLACEMENTS!

 INQUIRY COMES IN FROM POTENTIAL OWNER 

  • We receive your phone call or email 

    • We will conduct a brief interview over the phone to:

      • Educate potential owners on the breed 

      • Make sure you are a good fit for one of our pups

      • Discuss our breeding program and litter plans

      • Add you to our wait list for an upcoming litter 
         

      • DEPOSITS ACCEPTED 

      • You may submit a $1,000 non-refundable deposit to hold a puppy from the current litter for you. This deposit is to guarantee placement of a puppy and does not hold a specific puppy for you. 

      • At this point, we will consult with potential homes about what genders may be available, so we can make accommodations where a specific gender is required within the household. 
         

1. A FEMALE IS PLANNED TO BREED AND GOES INTO SEASON; WE BREED THE DOGS 

  • When we have a litter planned, all potential owners on our wait list will be notified via email. 

  • We kindly ask that those who no longer are interested in a puppy to let us know, so we can efficiently communicate with interested parties 

 

2. ULTRASOUND POST BREEDING

    • Once we have had a successful mating, our females receive an ultrasound between 30-35 days of pregnancy to confirm that we are expecting puppies!

    •  

 

3. XRAY TIME!

    • We visit our reproductive vet around 2-3 days prior to the litter due date to shoot an X-ray. This will help confirm the number of puppies in the womb, so we can prepare best for a safe delivery! 

    • Potential owners will be updated on findings of the X-ray 

 

4. WHELPING AND REARING 

    • Once puppies are born, we will know what the gender split of the litter is. Sometimes there are more males - and other times there are more females. 

    • Updates for puppies including their weights, photos, training videos, and notes will be shared on the Duskland Farm Facebook page for people to follow 
       

5. CONFORMATION & TEMPERAMENT ASSESSMENT 

    • Between 7-8 weeks of age, puppies are evaluated for physical attributes and structure, as well as temperament. At this point, we will know which puppies go into a potential show home, and which would be better suited structurally as a performance prospect or pet. 

 

6. PUPPIES GO HOME! 

You will receive AKC paperwork, shot and veterinary records, a puppy care package, training handbook, and will need to sign our contract when you pick your puppy up. The remaining balance of the puppy is due prior to pickup/delivery. Owners are responsible for any cost associated with transporting of the pup. We provide mentorship, guidance, support, and training assistance for the life of you and your pup!
