Getting your puppy home
The short drive lets you keep pickup calm and direct. Prepare the sleeping area, water, feeding supplies and veterinarian contact before leaving home.
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, wildlife and rocky trails make leash reliability, shade and paw care important. Kerrville publishes park and animal-service rules that should be checked before outings.
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.
