It is helpful to know what the puppies’ first several weeks have looked like and how they have been prepared for their new homes.

  • Where are the puppies raised?
  • Who has been primarily responsible for raising and socializing the litter?
  • What kinds of socialization have they had?
  • Have they been introduced to different people, household sounds, grooming, car rides, different surfaces, and other age-appropriate experiences?
  • At what age do the puppies go to their new homes?
  • What vaccinations and deworming have they received?
  • What preventatives, if any, have been used?
  • Will you provide a health sheet documenting vaccinations, deworming, preventatives, and other veterinary care?
