Visiting LMR
Can I visit the puppies before they are 8 weeks?
-
No.
-
The dogs are part of my family and live inside my home, not in a kennel.
-
The pups are whelped and raised inside my home.
-
I have a young son with a weak immune system.
-
Why such strict requirements?
-
Parvovirus lives in soil and on surfaces for up to 10 years.
-
Parvovirus is extremely contagious, very deadly, and extremely difficult to eradicate.
-
See information sheets about parvo: AKC Canine Parvovirus and HSUS Parvovirus Fact Sheet
If I can’t visit, how will I see the puppies?
-
Facetime, Zoom, Facebook video messaging, etc.
-
Texts and email updates with pictures and videos.
-
LMR social media accounts are updated frequently.
If I can’t visit and meet with the puppies, how will I know which one is right for me?
-
The Puppy Questionnaire you completed, plus continued communication with me, will allow an appropriate selection of puppy for you.
-
The puppies undergo temperament testing with a certified trainer which will also aid in puppy selection.
If I can’t visit, how am I able to pick up my puppy?
-
When it’s time to collect your puppy, you will be able to come to my home. There will be an area set up outside appropriate for this.
