Why We Reserve the Right to Choose a Puppy for You.
As breeders, we carefully observe every individual puppy and the litter as a group many times every day
from birth to placement. We gain a very good idea of what each puppy's personality is like, and what
kind of home it, as an individual, will need to become the best dog it can be.
When a prospective owner visits the litter, he or she spends an hour or so with the puppies. A puppy
may be particularly small and cute, or particularly big and endearing. They will be virtually the same
size as adults. One puppy may seem sweet and gentle -- but she might be a normally very active puppy
who is just sleepy and quiet at that particular time. A person can feel attached to the puppy he picked
up to cuddle in his lap -- but any puppy he picked up might have cuddled just as dearly. A child can feel
"chosen" by the first puppy who runs over to meet him. But that puppy may become a particularly bold
dog who would actually be overwhelming for a young child.
In short, you will see the puppies and form your opinions of them over a brief time; we see them in
every possible circumstance, every single day and night for sixteen weeks. Individual personalities
within a litter vary widely. This is very clearly demonstrated in our puppy aptitude tests at seven weeks
of age. These tests are helpful in contributing to our placement decisions. Therefore we feel that we
are best qualified to choose the appropriate puppy from a litter for you, based on your family, home life,
and expectations of the adult dog your puppy will become.
