To start, let me be the first to congratulate you on your decision to purchase a spectacular dog and a wonderful addition to your family. I wish you all the luck in the world.
I expect the following things from a new puppy buyer:
1. You sign a contract stating you understand and agree with the terms of purchase.
2. You will provide veterinary care when necessary.
3. You purchase a crate and crate train your puppy.
4. You will adequately socialize your puppy.
5. You will sign up for puppy training and continue to train the dog.
6. You will house the dog safely. (This means “puppy proof” the house)
7. You will feed a high quality dog food. We suggest

8. You teach others, especially children, how to interact safely with a puppy.
9. You keep your puppy/dog under control at all times.
10. You purchase appropriate supplies; leash, collar, bowls,
training treats (by Life's Abundance) etc.
11. You have a few safe chew toys.
12. And finally, you love him/her. But love the dog enough not to treat him/her like a child.
