Going Home - Bring a small puppy
collar &
leash. For potty stops, we suggest
that you
do not take your puppy to the
area designated
for dogs in rest stops but maybe
in a hotel
grassy area. Some puppies will
not eliminate
on the trip home. This is also
normal &
acceptable.. Do not allow him
to drink too
much water... just enough to
quench his thirst.
When you arrive home make sure
that you establish
his home base in a part of the
house that
is well traveled (restricted
by a baby gate)
so he doesn't feel isolated.
In this special
area PLEASE do not shut him in,
instead of
shutting the door use a gate
so he can see
everyone ! Plan on spending the entire first day at
home with your pet, acquainting him with
his new digs – inside and out.
Don't force other household pets on the newcomer.
Allow them to gradually introduce themselves
to one another through a safely blockaded
or gated doorway. Each should be leashed
and under the firm control of a family member
on each side.
The crate , A puppy should be placed in his
crate for short periods of time during the
day and at night in his special area, NEVER
for the whole day , even as a adult. . Once
he realizes that the crate is his 'special
place', he will wander in whenever he wants
to rest. A crate should be used humanely.
It is not fair to leave a dog crated for
an entire day while you are away. A crate
should be used for general confinement and
housebreaking. It should never be used as
a place to put your dog for punishment.
Take your puppy outside to potty
at least
every two hours, especially after
meals or
a drink of water. Some puppies
have a brief
period of loose stool. This is
simply from
the stress of the tremendous
change that
he has just experienced. If this
happens,
it is okay to give him a teaspoon
of pepto
bismol or pumkin every 8 hours
to help. It
also helps to give him a teaspoon
of plain
yogurt before each meal.
You have 10 days to have your
puppy examined
by a Veterinarian. Please email
us and let
us know the results of the exam.
Puppies are on " TASTE OF THE WILD " . ONE CUP 7 AM , ONE CUP AROUND NOON
AND ONE AROUND 7 PM . You can change food
but to a good brand , one that has the first
ingredient as meat is best. A good premium
dog food assures you of a healthy puppy and
helps the puppy to have good strong bones,
teeth and promotes good body growth. Plus
they poop HALF the amount :-) For treats
, I give raw bones frozen. No rawhide. The
best bones are from food lion, ask the meat
department for the soup marrow bones . Seen
on puppy photos. Keep good supply on hand
in freezer . Very affordable at 99 cents
a pound. Another good treat is frozen carrots.
Keep on hand when teething between 3 months
and 6 months.
Only vitamin to give is Vitamin
C , 1000
mil a day till one years old.
PUPPIES WILL HAVE HAD FIRST SHOTS
AT 6 WEEKS
and have been DE-WORMED. It almost
goes without
saying that you should establish
a good relationship
with a veterinarian you trust
to take care
of your new companion's various
health needs.
Follow up shots need to be given
at 12 and
16 weeks. Rabies should be given
between
4-6 months old.
Grooming should be started at
an early age.
Tabletops are often best because
the puppy
is off the ground and less likely
to try
and run away. An elevated position
is also
more comfortable for the owner’s
back and
knees. It is important to start
training
for grooming early As he gets
older, it will
be more difficult to physically
restrain
him.
You MUST send your puppy to Puppy Preschool,
Kindergarten classes are usually for puppies three months old
or older. Proof of vaccinations will be required.
This protects you puppy as well as the others
in the class. The puppies learn basic obedience
exercises; but the primary purpose of the
class is to give puppy owners some tools
for raising well-socialized canine companions.
Next, Obedience training classes .
Registration - Buyer understand
that puppies
will only be eligible for limited
registration
with the AKC and has been fully
informed
of all of the restrictions involved
with
this form of registration. All
animals not
bought specifically for showing
should be
spayed or neutered by two years
of age .
Creating and deepening this emotional tie
with your dog will make obedience training
easier, behavior problems fewer and less
intense, and will enhance your enjoyment
of your dog. Feed your puppy with affection;
walk your dog with pleasure and excitement;
comb and brush him gently; exercise him in
a playful manner. The most important need
for the new puppy is an abundant amount of
love and understanding from the family. By
taking in the puppy, you have introduced
a new family member to the house that can
be with you for many, many years. He will
be a source of great joy, comfort and companionship
if given the opportunity to reach his full
potential.
It is important to begin now
to groom your
puppy. Touch him all over often,
play with
his paws, feel his tail, examine
his ears,
look in his mouth, always brush
him gently
head to tail. When you clip his
nails, be
sure that you know how to do
it properly.
The more you practice now, the
easier he
will accept it when he is full
grown. Please
enjoy him, hug him, kiss him,
protect him,
play with him, appreciate him,
communicate
with him, train him, be patient
with him
and most of all, please LOVE
him! His love
for you is unconditional. He
deserves no
less from you
At KalaMals our litters are whelped in our
home and are raised "underfoot"
until they are ready to go to
their new homes
at 8-12 weeks of age. All puppies
are started
on basic obedience, crate-training
and housebreaking.
We stress proper socialization
and training
at an early age. Every puppy is sold on a AKC non-breeding
agreement. Each puppy will be
sent home with
an inclusive puppy package with
parent’s
pedigrees, training/grooming
tips, and information
about your puppy. After filling out our questionnaire you will
be kept up to date with our current
litters
and future plans.. When a breeding
is confirmed
you will be contacted in regards
to our litter
waiting list. When puppies are
born they
are then sold by reservation
and held only
with a deposit. If you have a reservation on a puppy and
you change your mind, the deposit
is non-refundable
as potential puppy buyers may
have been turned
away. The reason for the deposit
is it lets
me know you are truly interested
and commited
to a puppy, If for whatever reason
I do not
have a puppy available I will
refund your
deposit. Puppies are chosen in the order in which
the reservation with deposit
is received,
with show puppies being chosen
first. All puppies are sold with a written sales
contract which includes a lifetime
of help,
advice and assistance to all
our puppy buyers!
