Preparing for a Puppy WHAT TO BUY FOR YOUR PUPPY: Crate with a divider and optional floor grid (recommended adult size is 42x28x30) I recommend a floor grid for the crate so if your puppy has an accident, you won't have a soaking wet puppy lying in pee. Crate Training Tip: Use the divider to make the crate no larger than the puppy's size. If they can go to the back to potty, they will. They are less likely to go where they hav e to lay down. ( I'll never say never, but its less likely!) Crate cover This helps them to feel less afraid if its cozy and dark, especially at night. Also being dark helps them t o know its sleep time. You could also use a towel, light blanket or sheet. Food and water dishes Slow feeder bowl HIGHLY recommended for goldens as they normally inhale their food and that can be dangerous. This type of bowl slows them down. Measuring cups These help to measure out the correct amount of daily food Lea sh & collar or harness Puppies normally weigh 8-12 lbs. at 8 weeks so I recommend getting that size and the next size up as they grow quickly. Hint: Puppies very much prefer their leash attached to a harness rather than a collar. Dog Bed Lots of chew toys! (No rawhide!) ID tags Victor Professional All Life Stages Dog Food https://amzn.to/4pgjgI8 This food is currently sold on Amazon, Chewy and Tractor Supply. Tractor Supply also carries it in store as do many pet stores. Victor's website also has a location search where you can put your zip code in and find all sellers local to you. If you plan to switch foods, please feed at least one bag of this food befo re slowly switching so that you aren't changing everything for your n ew puppy at the same time. I do not require you to feed any certain food, just please do the research and make sure it's a quality food as their diet can make a huge difference in their lifespan and health. Wire or plastic exercise pen These work well to put around the crate so if you need him/her to be in a smaller area when you can't be watching them directly, they can have a bit larger play area than just being in the crate. Small training treats Initially I use pieces of dog food as treats so as not to introduce too many new things at the same time. Once your puppy is better adjusted, slowly start giving new sources of proteins in the form of treats. Here are a few ideas for healthy training treats: https://amzn.to/3SJ9b9R https://amzn.to/482FEwb https://amzn.to/49lkcng Paper towels, disinfectant spray and an enzyme cleaner for accidents. These are a few products I recommend: https://amzn.to/3SGZPLs https://amzn.to/42qoo2G https://amzn.to/4821lfC https://amzn.to/4bj7vuT P uppy shampoo: This is what I use: https://amzn.to/3SqRLNC Ear dry for after bathing or swimming to prevent ear infections. I use: https://amzn.to/3w2CKKz Probiotics : I give all of my puppies probiotics from several weeks old until they leave for their new homes. I send home enough for the 1st week but I do recommend continui ng pro biotics through their "chewi ng on everything" puppy phase. It really helps to keep your puppy's good bacteria balanced in its tummy while it chews and licks every new germ known to man! This is what my vet and I both recommend: https://amzn.to/47VzVbv . Please see section labeled "Probiotics" under the "Education" tab for more info on probiotics. Grooming tools. A pin or s licker brush is best for puppies and I love the Furminator fo r my adults. 'No Chew Spray' can be helpful. https://amzn.to/4892oL6 Nail trimmers Toothbrush / Toot hpaste, teeth cleaning toys or crunchy bones to keep teeth free of tartar. Gates or free-standing fence if there are "off limit" areas for your puppy throughout your home. Pooper scooper and bags for walks Snuggle heartbeat pup p y - Many n ew puppy owners have shared positive feedback when using a heartbeat toy to help their new puppy stay calmer in their crate. https://amzn.to/3u8Rc3b Bells or a clicker if you're going to bell or clicker train. *****As an Amazon Associ ate I do earn from qualifying purchases when using these links. However, I do only recommend products that I personally use and honestly recommend. ***** Make Your Vet Appointments: After placing your deposit, make your vet appointments! Most vets are very busy these days and it can take quite awhile to get a new puppy appointment, especially if you are a new client. I recommend calling as soon as you know you are getting a puppy to set up your first one or two appointments. My contract states that you have 4 business days to have your puppy examined by a licensed vet in order for you to be able to return him/her for a full refund should your vet find a health issue that would cause you to no longer want that puppy. The puppies are all examined by my vet at 6 weeks old and I will let everyone know up front if there are any puppies with any issues, but I do also give you the option to have your puppy examined by your own vet if you should choose to do so. The other appointment needing made will be for when the puppy is around 10 weeks old. This appointment will be for its 2nd set of puppy vaccinations and dewormer.

Potential 2025 Puppies I currently have puppies from a litter available. Heat cycles always vary so no litter timing can ever be guaranteed, however I anticipate breeding several females around May 2025. Therefore, the soonest I expect to have any puppies available to leave would be July 2025.

Pickup Process WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU ON PICK UP DAY: Towels, blankets or pee pads for the car seat or your lap in case the puppy gets car sick Paper towels Plastic bags for garbage Disinfecting wipes A crate to keep your puppy contained if you will be traveling alone A leash and collar if you have a long trip home and need to stop for potty breaks FINAL PAYMENT... SEE FINAL PAYMENT SECTION ALSO ON THIS PAGE. -Although food and water is withheld for several hours before the puppies leave, it's inevitable that some still get car sick on the way home so it's better to be prepared! Every puppy is different. Some do not throw up at all and some will 8 to 10 times until their tummy is empty. -REMINDER: Be sure to offer food and water as soon as you arrive home since it has likely been many hours since they ate or drank. VISITATION BIO-SECURITY REQUIRED: I am always very worried about what may be carried into my puppies so please wear freshly washed clothing that has not been around any other pets. Your healthy pets can still carry viruses/bacteria that they are immune to but will greatly affect a small puppy with a developing immune system. Please do not wear shoes that have recently been to dog parks, pet stores or other similar pet places. Ideally, wipe your shoes off with disinfecting wipes before visiting. As shoes are the #1 culprit for carrying germs into breeder's facilities, there is a disinfecting mat you will need to step on at the door. It is a foam mat with disinfectant in it. When you step on it a few times it creates suds which disinfects your shoes. If you prefer to just remove your shoes before entering that's fine as well, assuming you want your socks chewed on by puppies😁 Just inside the door will be hand sanitizer for you to use as well. Please please please do NOT visit if you have knowingly been anywhere that a dog has been that had parvo or if you have lost a pet to parvo. Please contact me for other puppy choosing options. https://www.revivalanimal.com/learning-center/educating-kennel-visitors-on-biosecurity PUPPY CHOOSING PROCESS: I set up 2 hour appointments in order of choosing... 1st pick male comes 1st, 2nd pick male comes 2nd, etc. I have 2 play areas for viewing and choosing: an indoor and an outdoor area. If the weather is warm enough and it's not muddy or wet, we take the puppies outside so you can watch them run and play. If you are choosing a girl, I keep the boys inside (& vice versa). I put each puppy away as you eliminate it to help make narrowing down your choice easier. If the weather is too cold, rainy or snowy, we stay in the indoor play area. Feel free to sit down on the floor in the play area and play! The floor is disinfected between each family! Do not wear your favorite outfit as puppies like to chew on your shoe laces and clothes!! They are known to accidentally snag clothes with teeth or a claw. The visitation days are very hard on puppies! They have a new family visiting every couple of hours with little rest in between. Puppies of this age still require a lot of sleep so in order to try to help them not get so worn out, I put them in a dark quiet room to rest as soon as each family has chosen. During the remainder of your visit while we talk, they can be resting up for the next family. If I don't do this, I end up with tired, upset puppies halfway through the day and then the later families do not get to see their true personalities. Some are so tired they just won't even play anymore making a family think something is wrong when really they are just exhausted. So please do not wonder why I am hiding them out of sight as soon as you choose! Once you have chosen your new family member, I have about 15 min. of take-home instructions to share with you. You are welcome to ask any questions you may have during this time or throughout your visit as well. OUR PUPPIES GO HOME WITH: AKC limited registration paper (no breeding rights) Exception: We will occasionally sell breeding rights/full registration if additional fee is paid and the breeding of our puppies is discussed and agreed upon prior to arrival. Health contract with a 2-year health guarantee Spay/Neuter contract (unless for breeding) Licensed vet check and full disclosure Vaccine and dewormer records Microchipped and information to register Early Neurological Stimulation Program (ENS) completed 3 day supply of Victor Professional All Life Stages Food New chew toy Probiotics for the first 10 days in order to help their tummy stay balanced during the transition to their new home Pedigree and parent's health testing information Lifetime customer support 😁 FINAL PAYMENT REMAINING BALANCE IS DUE IN FULL AT PICK UP! I do NOT accept personal checks on pick up day. Balance will ONLY be accepted in the form of: CASH CERTIFIED BANK CHECK (payable to Sonya Minard) MONEY ORDER (payable to Sonya Minard) The easiest for most people seems to be ordering a certified bank check on your banks website. (If that is an option for you.) I CANNOT accept electronic forms of payment such as Venmo, Cash App or PayPal for your final payment. Those can ONLY be used for the deposit.

I retire my females around the age of 5 and will normally re-home them with family, friends, or by advertising them for sale to the public. At this time, I do not have any available adults for sale and I do not anticipate having any females ready to re-home until Maggie retires in 2024 or 2025. I also occasionally have a male or female that does not pass their health testing to my standards so I will re-home them with full disclosure as to what area of health testing they did or did not pass.
