* HOW WE DO PUPPY PICKS*
Puppy picks are at 8 weeks of age on the day they go home. We do not allow picks earlier for several reasons. One is viral diseases. Parvo can easily be carried in on shoes. Puppies are not vaccinated until 7 weeks, and even then they are not instantly immune to those diseases. The second reason is travel. It is too hard for some people to make the trip twice in two weeks. Most have all day trips or need a hotel stay the night before. Lastly is temperament. Some have asked to come pick a puppy as early as 3 weeks of age. They are just starting to move around on their legs at that age. Looks and temperament have not developed yet.
Everyone is scheduled a 30 minute time slot to sit and play with the pups and make your pick. I understand a lot of people have a long drive but it is important you get here within your time slot. First pick will start at 10 am and continue every half hour going down the list of puppy picks. We do post individual pictures of all the puppies at six weeks of age. As well as some videos on our Facebook page, Wolf Creek Golden Retrievers. If by chance the first pick chooses their puppy from online pictures then we will contact the next person in puppy pick order and they have the option to choose from online. If they don't, than the online picking stops with them. Keep in mind, if you contact us before 8 weeks and want pictures of available puppies, we can not do that if pups are not picked out until go home day. It is important you consider how puppy picks are done and that you are comfortable with that. If you are not, you need to consider that we may not be the breeder you are looking for.
Our puppies go to their new home microchipped, dewormed, vaccinated, fecal tested and vet examined.
Pups will be sent home with enough puppy food to transition them to the food of your choice. Although we highly recommend purchasing one large bag of the current food they are on to give them time to transition to their new home. If you want to change foods you MUST start with mixing a small amount of the new food with the Nutrisource large breed puppy for at least a weeks time. Gradually increasing the new food until completely switched over to the new puppy chow. If you switch them over right away and do not follow the recommended guidelines it may cause severe digestive issues for your puppy. Going to a new home is a lot for a puppy to adjust to without adding tummy upset and diarrhea. So if at all possible, keep them on Nutrisource dog food for life. There are feeding guidelines on the back of the bag. We suggest starting with a half cup three times a day.
If you are taking home a female puppy, make sure you are keeping their bottom clean. Girls squat low to the ground to pee and can pick up dirt and bacteria which can cause a UTI. We suggest keeping the hair trimmed if it gets too long and wiping the area with a baby wipe after urinating if it looks dirty.
Our puppies are also sent home with a puppy blanket from the whelping bed with mom and siblings scent on it.
We also send home a beef bone, the same ones they are given with us. So it is not new to them. They work great once empty to fill with peanut butter. Although once the bone starts to wear thin it needs to be thrown away so the puppy can not break any pieces off and digest them. We do not recommend raw hide bones or rope toys, they can be very dangerous.
In your puppy bag you will also get a folder with your AKC paperwork, vet record, microchip information and receipt for purchase of your puppy. There is also a paper with information on Trupanion insurance in your go home folder. We ask everyone to research this insurance ahead of time. As Trupanion asks everyone to activate within 24 hours of taking your puppy home. We do not get any kick backs partnering with Trupanion. Its just a great opportunity for new puppy owners to get free pet insurance for the first 30 days home to cover any unforeseen issues that may arise. They do not ask for any financial information to activate the 30 day trial. If you don't contact them to continue the insurace, it stops after 30 days. a, pretty easy. There is alot of information in this folder so please keep it in a file box or somewhere safe.
Lastly, we DO NOT remove dew claws. I suggest if you consider getting a puppy with them removed, do your research! A lot of people are unaware of the issues it can cause.
We also suggest the snuggle puppy as a calming toy for them the first night in their new home. It can be found on amazon for around $35 dollars. We have heard great success stories from some of our puppy families that have purchased this.
We welcome anyone that takes home a puppy from us, to call or message us with any questions. We are here to help if we can. Although if it is a medical issue, we are not a vet and you should call your veterinarian immediately.
We hope this information helps with the transition of taking home your new family member! Any questions, please reach out to us.
