All puppy enquiries must go through the Puppy Application Form otherwise it will not be considered – NO EXCEPTIONS
We at Almolka take great care where we place our puppies. The information requested below is to help us to make the transition for the puppy as gentle as possible from the puppy’s mother to YOU, its new family. These questions may appear detailed, but we would not be doing our job (in our opinion) properly without knowing as much as possible about the family the dog/pup will be spending the rest of his/her life with & be able to advise you accordingly.
By asking these detailed questions about your home & family members etc, we can help YOU make the correct decisions on whether a Japanese Shiba Inu is the type of dog that you would really like to join your house & lifestyle.
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF BEFORE YOU CONSIDER BUYING A PUPPY:
ARE YOU PREPARED TO...
*What will it really cost you, both in financial terms, and in time and energy, to own and care for a dog, and can you really afford it? This is perhaps the most important question you need to answer before taking the plunge and buying a puppy. Besides the obvious cost of food, Leads, collars, etc and training class’s and vet fees,
* Take full responsibility for this dog and all its needs for the next 12 - 15 years? This is NOT a task that can be left to children!
* Invest the considerable time, money and patience it takes to train the dog to be a good companion? (This does not happen by itself!!!!)
* Always keep the dog safe; make sure you have secure fences, no running loose near roads or livestock.
* Have the patience to accept (and enjoy) the trials of puppy hood, which can last for two to three years, and each stage afterwards?
* Continue to accept responsibility for the dog despite inevitable life changes such as new babies, kids going off to school, moving or returning to work?
*Keep the breeder informed and up to date on the dog’s accomplishments and problems? (And photos :)
