We sell our dogs with limited registration and a spay/neuter agreement. Is this an issue?

If wanting to have full registration, you will have to have approval. Experience, health testing, x-rays of hips and elbows required. Prior to you taking a puppy home we have a contract that will need to be reviewed and signed. We place our puppies in suitable homes. We do not do pick of the litter or sell a puppy for coat or color preferences (only solid blacks). All but the solid blacks will change in color as they get older. A lot of changes as they grow up.

You need to be ready for a puppy. They go through multiple stages and can be destructive if not trained or worked with. They will and can be destructive when not supervised. They may become uncontrollable if you do not train your puppy or dog. They need time, patience, and consistency. They do shed a lot. They may or may not like other dogs as they get older if they ARE NOT socialize and some may decide they choose not to be with other dogs. All training we start them with needs to be continued, they do not train themselves and other older dogs do not train them. This is at least a 10-year commitment. They will need to be fed well and need attention, both love and work. Potential owners really need to think it through before purchasing a puppy. Yes, we do take them back if for some reason you cannot keep them. But most returns are from people not training their dog. Puppy stage from 10 weeks to 3 months of age, cute and need training. At 4 months to 9 months of age they will start getting into everything, from chewing things up to digging your lovely garden. All of which can be dealt with if you keep up on training. We do advise that you kennel when you can not watch them, for their own safety. They can swallow dangerous things to get shocked by electrical cords. A kennel also works well for potty training. You will have to clean up their poop as soon as they go outside for puppies tend to eat their poop, this it learned from their mother and/or just because they eat anything. You will have your hands full. Keep up with training and start when they arrive at your home. You need to set boundaries and make sure you are the alpha. This will give you an easier time as they get older. Having a pet is a commitment. I want anyone wanting one to seriously think about what it takes to own a dog. Make sure you are dedicated to them for their entire life. Don’t get one if you can’t have them for life. Things change and you must be able to adapt to keeping your dog. It’s tough on them to leave a family and adjust to a new family. Train your dog, so if they must go at least, they get a fair chance to find a new family. Untrained dogs are not able to find new homes easily. Socialize them too. Give your dog a good life and a balanced life. MAKE SURE YOU CAN HANDLE THIS BREED. THEY NEED TO BE TRAINED. YOU CAN NOT COME BACK TO ME AS A BREEDER WHEN THEY ARE OLDER AND EXPECT ME TO TRAIN OUT BAD BEHAVIOR. PLEASE SEEK A PROFESSIONAL TRAINER FOR PROBLEMS OR CONCERNS. I DO TRAIN MY PERSONAL DOGS AND CAN HELP SOME PUPPIES THAT ARE LOCAL TO ME. I CAN NOT TRAIN VIA TEXT OR PHONE, ESPECIALY OLDER DOGS. THEY ARE STRONG DOGS AND IF NOT TRAINED PROPERLY OR SOCIALIZED THEY CAN BECOME A PROBLEM.
