Collecting your Puppy

You will have already met with the breeder and discussed with them the pros and cons of the breed, whether you want a dog or a bitch, a pet only, or whether you also wish to show, work, or in the future breed from your dog. You will already have checked that the parents are K.C. registered, hip scored and eye tested, and that the price of you puppy falls within normal range for the breed. The breeder should have told you what brand of food to have available, suitable toys, bed, bowls, collar, lead etc. It is a legal requirement that in public a dog should wear a collar with a name tag giving your address etc.,so get this in advance as well.

Along with the pup you should receive:

• the registration certificate,
• a 3,4 or 5 generation pedigree,
• diet sheet,
• receipt.

• a worming certificate,
• insurance certificate,
• help in joining the SHCGB,
• some food if necessary
• and any written advice the breeder feels necessary.
