Getting your puppy home
Because our program is based in Fredericksburg, local families can focus less on a long travel day and more on preparing the home, choosing a veterinarian and understanding the breed before pickup.
Bring: a secure crate or restraint, water, paper towels, a washable blanket and the contact information we provide at pickup.
Plan for the dog—not just puppy day
Hill Country heat, limestone trails and wildlife make early-morning walks, paw checks, shade and dependable leash habits especially useful.
Choose your veterinarian
Schedule the first visit before pickup and ask how to handle vaccines, parasites, heat and safe public exposure.
Prepare a secure home
Check gates, fencing, sleeping space, food storage and a quiet place for decompression.
Build the routine slowly
Use predictable meals, rest, short outings and positive handling. We are a breed resource; we do not provide dog training.
Protect growing joints
Keep activity age-appropriate and ask your veterinarian about surfaces, stairs and repetitive exercise.
