Can I choose my puppy?
All our puppies are lovely, and they will all grow into beautiful adult dogs
with wonderful temperaments.
What they have in common, their parentage and the special care that they
receive with us, far outweighs any difference.
Most people choose between male and female, but if you are happy with either that gives more flexibility, particularly if one puppy is going to train as an assistance dog.
During the visit at five weeks old, you may express a preference for a
certain puppy.
Some people feel a puppy chooses them! Or you can explain to
me
As I get to know the new owners and understand their lifestyle, this helps me to
instinctively realise which puppy might be best for them.
Deciding on their final homes at eight weeks old is very much like putting the last pieces in a jigsaw, or completing a lego model. All the groundwork has been done and eventually you see the final picture. Everyone has always been delighted with the new addition to their family. Many people are now returning to us for another dog, and we welcome them back as old friends.
