OFTEN IM ASKED THESE QUESTIONS:
What does it mean and why do I have to wait until 7 weeks to get a puppy assigned to me? What number reservation am I and how many reservations are before me on your list?
Fur babies are assigned from a litter to specific families based on their lifestyle and needs rather than first come, first served.
This means the best fit is actively chosen for each potential owner (family) rather than letting people simply pick the one they want from the litter; this ensures they go to a home where they can thrive with their new family.
Assignments are based on many important factors.
*Temperament evaluation
Breeder closely observe the puppies in a litter to assess their individual personalities and temperaments as they develop from birth until Volhard testing and this assists greatly in making the right choice.
*Matching with the future owners needs, breeder will ask potential owners about their lifestyle, activity level, experience with dogs, and family dynamic (small children, adolescent children or elderly) to find the best puppy match. Also, plans for future show prospects or special training such as Service, Therapy or Specialized Training such as Agility or Detection dogs.
Basically, the process starts with having the exact amount of reservations prior to 6 weeks of age for the entire litter with the exact amount of reservations for females & males each that make up the litter. This will assure each puppy has the correct placement with the family who is best suited for them.
The spot you hold on the list of reservations counts more on the gender you choose and how many puppies are born. If I have 5 male reservations and 5 female reservations and mom has 9 puppies but 4 females and 5 males then 1 family would need to switch to the other gender or wait for the next litter to get the gender they initially chose. Also, considering that she had 9 pups and I have 10 reservations, the last family to reserve holding the 10th spot would need to wait until the next litter.
