“This includes first vaccinations, de-worming, socialization (Puppy Culture) and loving care in my home. A small amount of the food they have been eating will be sent with for the ease of transitioning. They will go with a leash, collar, stuffed toy and a chew toy. They will be Avid micro-chipped and have the first in a series of puppy vaccinations plus bordetella. A puppy can be reserved before it is ready to be rehomed.”

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

Puppies have lots of visitors come over to play. They get to go on car rides and to the vet to be exposed to as many sights, sounds, and surfaces as possible. We try to follow "Puppy Culture" training. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Early Neurological Stimulation, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Socialized with Cats, Household Desensitization, and Puppy Culture .

Puppy health practices

Puppies are vaccinated and dewormed. Puppy Culture is used with them.

Extras

Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Marquise Miniature American Shepherd hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
