I have a couple things I’d like to address.
1. From now on if you cannot pick up your pup within 3 days of the pre-scheduled pick up date, it will be $15 a day boarding fee. I’ve had SO many people get close to pick up and then ask if they can pick up their pup 2-4 weeks later than when they are ready but never communicate that in the 6-8 weeks they’ve made the commitment to a pup. I understand things come up and I’m more than flexible 99% of the time but also planning a 1/2+ week vacation or trip or move or whatever it could be, right when it comes to pick up time is a little inconsiderate.
(This doesn’t mean an emergency situation won’t let me be flexible, trust me If anyone understands that stuff happens out of our control it’s me!)
2. I will no longer accept people buying dogs as a “gift” to other people. Absolutely not. They are not a surprise gift. If I can not contact the person that the dog is going to belong to, I will not hesitate to turn it down. I recently got screwed over by 2 girls trying to play some scammy little thing with a pup of mine. The one girl pretended the dog was for her the whole time it was intended for another girl who I never had contact with, and her fiance didn’t want a dog etc, there’s more to the story but it’s not something that needs to be broadcasted at this point in time.
Please be considerate of your breeders! This is such a tedious process. We truly love these babies and never want them to end up in a situation where they aren’t wanted. But also in the first weeks you get a pup they need structure, training, vet work etc.
I hate having to make these kinds of posts. I hate seeming like the bad guy. But at some point I have to put my foot down.
I have SO many good people and great families, they definitely outweigh the few issues I do have. I always appreciate every one of my puppy families! You guys have truly been the best.
