Buying a Dog
This is a fantastic service that saves so much time and money! Not to mention the frustration and sadness that comes with potentially having to re-home a dog because it doesn’t fit in with the household or owner. Worse yet, the dog doesn’t get re-adopted and a chance it could be put down. Or buying a dog that may have to be put down because of bad breeding (inbreeding) or contaminated genetic lines (major health issues passed down through generations) after spending lots of money trying to fix these problems.
Unfortunately, we see the tail end of this because most people don’t do (or know about) this option before getting a dog, resulting in having to pay more for training, behaviour problems and vet bills.
Getting a dog is like getting another family member; they are going to be with us all the time, and for a very long time. Households change as well, they can go from single, to married, to children etc. So let’s find the perfect fit for the owner, household, and for the future as well-before we spend lots of money, time, frustration and sadness.

- Brief phone call to discuss your wishes & expectations of a new puppy/dog etc.
- Complete in-your-home (or your choice of setting/venue) consultation visit
