Choosing a puppy is a huge decision, but it’s surprisingly easy to get caught up in the excitement and overlook whether the breed, breeder and individual puppy are actually right for you.
I’ll help you work through what you really need from a dog, identify the right breeds and lines, find reputable breeders, and, where appropriate, come with you to meet the breeder and puppies before you make your decision.
This includes:
60-minute consultation to really further the understanding of your lifestyle, experience, expectations and what they want from the puppy/dog
Helping solidify the most suitable breed/type and, importantly, what not to choose (even temperament can be different within a certain breed)
Researching and shortlisting suitable breeders
Speaking to breeders / making initial enquiries
Reviewing health testing, temperament, breeding aims and puppy-rearing practices
Advising on which litters/puppies look most appropriate
One in-person breeder visit with yourselves within 75 miles of SW16 (additional travel cost pending further afield)
Helping assess the puppies and choosing the right individual
Follow-up call before you commit
