Let us know if you would like your new puppy microchipped. Please keep in mind, we will not sell any puppy soley for breeding. Inquiries are always welcome! Thank you for considering one of our puppies! Denise and the Cockers. More Info... If you are interested in a Ritz puppy, there are some specific things we look for in a potential puppy owner. We recommend you read this. First, we don't ship puppies. We don't like the idea of putting a little puppy in a crate for several hours in cargo under the plane. If you are a potential buyer, you must be able to drive to get the puppy. Second, we prefer the owner to be at home most, or all of the day. Older or retired prople, or people who take their dogs to work, are always a big plus for us! We only send our puppies to homes with people home most of the day. Cockers, need to be with people. They are social animals, and need to do what they do best. Sitting in a crate all day long while the owners are at work, just isn't the place we want to keep our puppies. They are very important to us so, they need to be treated the same way they left, with respect. Third, we like to sell our puppies to people who will keep in touch with us once they leave. We like to see how they grow with pictures, and the occasional letter. If you are looking for a breeder to buy the puppy and never talk to again, we probably aren't the right breeder for you. If you want one of our puppies but, they are all sold, you may want to ask me for references. A lot of cocker breeders aren't as cautious about the people they sell puppies to like we are. I know many people who are and very nice. Here's a little more info on us before considering a Ritz puppy. Temperament is equally as important as health, and we are proud to say that our dogs have the most wonderful temperaments imaginable! They are mentally sound and great with anybody. Our puppies are held by all sorts of people and held as much as humanly possible! They are all, born and raised in our home. They will occasionally go to the nursing home just behind my house. They are always socialized with kids, adults, seniors, and healthy dogs and cats. We prefer loving homes that want a quality cocker as a family pet. The puppy may be from a good place but that doesn't always mean it should be bred. It just means you have a healthy loving, pet! However, our puppies also make excellent show dogs and many are suitable for the show ring. The most important thing is that I want my puppies to go to loving, lifelong homes. What I do not want is for any puppy I am responsible for raising and whelping, to end up in a kennel and just be used for breeding and then abandoned, when it is past it's breeding prime. If you are a "near by" buyer to one of our puppies. You are more than welcome to visit your puppy as he/she gets bigger. Puppies are vet examined, dewormed and given first shots at 7 weeks, per the newly revised vaccination protocol. Still not sure on a puppy from us? Please ask for some references from previous, and returning buyers. |
