How does it work?

My puppies are ready for delivery when they are 8 weeks old and have been examined by a veterinarian. I reserve the right to choose who I sell my puppies to. It's important to me that the puppies go to families that will provide them with the love and stability a puppy needs.

Upon delivery, the puppy is:

• DWKC pedigree

• Vaccinated

• Microchipped

• Veterinarian inspected

• Dewormed

• Covered by Sveland hidden defect insurance (3 years) and a veterinary insurance that can be transferred to the new owner

• Puppy kit included (harness, leash, collar, blanket, stuffed toy, food, thermometer, and some small items. Also, many helpful tips from me) (Lifetime support from us)

• Documents: Pedigree, registration form from Jordbruksverket, vaccination certificate, purchase agreement, hidden defect insurance number, veterinary inspection certificate

• A checklist that contains all the information you need to know before the little one moves in (food, care advice, dental care, housetraining, next vaccination, grooming, deworming, tick prevention, etc.) + Information on housetraining, leash training, separation training, etc.

Before the move, I try to "prepare" the puppies for the new world. They meet my other dogs and even my cat, so they will be better equipped to handle strange animals later in life. It's important that during the first period of their lives, the puppies get used to daily movement and sounds so they don't develop fears later on. Because of this, they will be exposed to things like a vacuum cleaner, etc. At 6 weeks of age, the puppies will go outside for the first time, which is important to start housetraining. Before they go outside, I also use puppy pads to begin the housetraining process. This doesn't guarantee housetraining by 8 weeks, but it's a good start!

Ready for a puppy?

It's important to think through all scenarios when considering getting a puppy. A puppy requires time and money. It should be a well-thought-out decision and not something spontaneous. I have a list of things to consider before deciding to get a puppy. I highly recommend reading through these points:

• A puppy can cost more than you think. It's not just the price of the puppy to consider but also costs like food, vet visits, toys, puppy classes, etc.

• Your life situation may change in a few years. It could involve moving, a new job, or studies. Many things can affect this decision, and it's important to consider whether you will always have the time and resources that a dog requires.

• Will there always be someone to stay with the puppy? Puppies cannot be left alone, so it's important to ensure that there will always be someone to care for the puppy. Before getting a puppy, make sure you have a solution so that the puppy will not be left alone.

• If you have other animals at home, think carefully before adding a new family member. Will the new puppy get along with your other pets?

• Learn about the breed! It's important to know essential information about the breed you're considering. Therefore, read up on the breed before deciding to get a puppy.

• Female or male? Have you considered which will fit your lifestyle best? Do you have other pets at home? Will they get along with both sexes? There are many pros and cons to both genders, so it's important to read up and decide which suits you best.

• Don't choose a puppy based on appearance. Choose based on behavior. Think about whether you want a calm or active puppy. Talk to the breeder so you can decide together which puppy suits you best.

• It's important to keep track of insurance. Don't wait until the day you pick up the puppy to start reading about insurance. Do your research or ask for advice from the breeder to be prepared on delivery day.

• Have you prepared your home for a puppy? It's essential to make your home "puppy-proof." Puppies can chew on things they shouldn't, so make sure to remove items like cables and be mindful of objects that could be dangerous or a choking hazard.

• Do you really have the time and energy a puppy requires? It takes energy, knowledge, and time to raise a puppy properly. Puppies are not something you just buy and have at home, nor can they be "returned." They require a lot, and you need to be prepared for that!

Extra information about our puppies:

• They eat Royal Canin Mini Puppy (dry) and Wolf of Wilderness Junior twice a day at 8 weeks old, around 8 AM and 7 PM. I recommend continuing with Royal Canin Mini Puppy until 10 months old, then switching to Royal Canin Mini Adult. I also give them chew sticks made from duck. They get a bit of carrot in their dry food once a day with me, but not all puppies like it, so feel free to try it at home. 😊

• Puppies are dewormed 4 times, vaccinated (Nobivac DHPPI), chipped, and their nails are trimmed upon delivery. They will need another shot at 12 weeks of age and one more at 1 year.

• You will receive a registration form from Jordbruksverket. Fill it out and send it in to register the puppy in your name.

• Brushing your dog's teeth daily can help prevent dental issues, so it's good to start as early as possible. You cannot use human toothpaste. I include the toothbrush and toothpaste we use.

• I've clipped their nails at least 4 times before they leave, trimming just a small amount each time so they get used to it. You will need a nail clipper, too, and I'll include a picture of the kind we use.

• They've had two baths, and I recommend using K9 Competition Aloe Vera shampoo. I'll include pictures and a link to the brushes I use.

• They have hidden defect insurance with Sveland and veterinary care insurance with Sveland that can be transferred to the new owner. The puppy will be fully insured when you pick it up. I recommend Monica for Sveland insurance (0703304344). She will contact you about the insurance, and if you're satisfied with Sveland, she can transfer it. If you don't want to continue with Sveland, let Monica know, and I'll cancel it. Thanks for your help! 😊

• I recommend an S-size harness or collar at the beginning. They're so small at 8-9 weeks, so it's hard to find a good-fitting harness.

• In the car, it's good for the puppy to be in a crate, but a dog bag works well, too. When they're bigger, you can use a dog seatbelt if you prefer.

• I usually trim my dogs with clippers. They have easy-to-manage coats, and I trim them 3-4 times a year, but I prefer a shorter coat. You can clip them for the first time at 6 months, but only around the bottom, paws, ears, and eyes if needed before that.

• You can use a tick collar at first and then switch to drops later. In my opinion, the tick collar is the best/healthiest option. I don't recommend tick tablets for dogs under 1 year old.

• At first, it's good to have a puppy pen in the house where they can sleep for the first few days. They usually whine for the first 2-3 nights because they miss their siblings, but they're flexible and will adjust quickly. You can also put a dog bed near your bed if the puppy whines at night, and they can sleep with you.

• You'll need a dog bed as well. I'll send a picture of the puppy pen we use.

• We're training them with puppy pads, and they're doing very well. They typically use the pad 80% of the time, but they're not fully housetrained by 8 weeks old. You'll need to continue training and take them outside to pee frequently throughout the day.
