| Lauzon Ranch puppies go to new homes at about 8 weeks of age. Our puppies are not available to large-scale breeders or to pet stores. A puppy can be reserved by a $100 deposit at any time you select a puppy. Once the deposit is paid, that puppy is marked sold and removed from advertisements. The puppy will be properly identified with a special little collar unless his unique markings identify him. If you have picked a special name for your puppy, either a "call name" or a registration name, that name would be used with that puppy so that he is accustomed to it. Also, at that time, you would receive a contract identifying your puppy by his photo and, if possible, by his registration number. This contract also specifies the particular guarantees for health and genetic soundness applicable to your puppy. To view a sample contract, click here . |

A puppy that is transferred directly to his new family will have these items with him. Within the local community, we accept payment by personal check, money order, PayPal, or cash. If you live outside the area and will have your puppy shipped, we prefer a money order, cashier's check, or -- best of all -- PayPal. All our puppies are shipped in new crates that are comfortable and well bedded. A toy, water, and food are available. We have found that puppies travel well and are well cared for in flight. Nearly all of our dogs arrived to us as puppies via air travel in fine shape and very ready to bond. If you are receiving a puppy by air, please check on the pick-up location and time as these may vary from one airport to another. Shipping information is available from NorthWest Airlines at 1-800-692-2746, and from SkyWest/Delta at 1-888-736-3738. Usually puppies will not soil their crate, so it is advisable to have some means of pottying the puppy after it arrives. Sometimes a potty pad in your vehicle is the only recourse. If the weather permits, I usually set up a portable exercise pen in a green area of the airport. Of course, we have a pretty small, not-too-busy facility. If you have a larger airport, you can head for the nearest park that allows puppy pottying. Please have clean- up materials with you. When traveling even a short distance with puppies, I usually carry a kit that includes a couple potty pads, small baggies, one or more plastic shopping bags, paper towels, a non-toxic, natural spray cleaner, and a small dish for water or food. Such a kit will make sure that every need is conveniently and easily met. When the puppy gets home, he will be tired and hungry. So, a minimum or fuss and attention would be appropriate for the first few hours. Please use the food sample in any way you see fit. If you elect to use a different brand or type of food, it is advisable to blend the sample with this food so that the puppy makes a gradual change. There are a couple articles available here on potty training short article long article. Here is also a link to an article by the Humane Society on the correct way to crate train your dog or puppy crate training If you would like further information on acquiring a puppy from Lauzon Ranch or if you find that this article needs some changing, please let me know by email Thank you and happy puppy searching!
