So you are
interested in getting a Puppy...
Here's what you
do... and how it works...
Contact us via email or phone. At
the initial contact we will chat, ask some questions and arrange to
send you our puppy questionnaire to fill out. It contains
questions pertaining to your lifestyle, your previous dog experience,
if you are looking for a pet companion or a show potential puppy.
Once we receive the questionnaire back, we can ask more questions and
determine if you would be eligible for a Von Marc puppy. If we both
approve of each other, you will be put on our reservation/waiting
list. Our pups are spoken for well before they are born. It's not
unusual for potential clients to be on our waiting list for up to a
year or more. Reservations are not honored in the order that you
contact us, we decide which puppy goes to which home we deem best for
them. So, you may wait for a month, or you could wait up to a year.
Please understand, we do not sell guard
dogs or breeding Rottweilers; we offer wonderful pet companions and give
breeding rights to show dogs which must be titled and have
health certifications prior to being bred.
We co-own all of the puppies we
sell until all the terms of their particular contract have been met.
We are more than pleased to provide references from those who have
purchased from us in the past and from fellow breeders. We base our
breeding program on good ethics, our intent to maintain our breed
standard and the protection of our breed against back yard breeders
who breed with no thought to temperament or health standards.
Once on our list, we encourage you
to keep in touch with us for updates. Once the puppies are born, we
will keep you updated about the pups' progress. We try to send
out weekly photos of each puppy. The puppies are graded for structure
and temperament tested at 7-8 weeks of age. At that time, we
make our final decision on which puppies will be rated as pet
companions and which ones will be chosen as show quality. For this
reason, we will not be able to tell you if you will be getting a
puppy from any litter until they are least 7 weeks of age.
We do not take deposits on our
puppies. We do not believe you should have to be "tied in"
to any particular breeder because they require a non-refundable
deposit. If we know we will
not have a puppy for you in the timeframe in which you desire, we are
more than willing to help you to find a puppy from another ethical breeder.
After spending the initial 8 weeks
with the puppies, and then doing a formal evaluation of their
temperament and structure, we have a very good understanding of what
each puppy is like in both respects. Some people want to choose their
pup themselves, but you don't know the pups' personalities as well as
we do. The best advice from most breeders is that first of all,
you do your research to pick a breeder that you trust and then you
trust the breeder to place the right puppy with you. If there
is no pup available, you will have the option of carrying over your
reservation to a future litter.
We do not believe in "first
pick." To us, there are no first, second, etc. "picks."
No two homes are exactly alike; each family has a different ideal
puppy. By us choosing the home for each puppy, every client gets the
pup best matched to them, so everyone gets "first" pick.
Puppies are ready to go home at 8
weeks old. When you come to pick up your puppy, don't expect to
breeze in and out in 15 minutes. This process takes time. Even though
you will have received a contract prior to this date and have had
time to ask any questions about it, we will once again go over the
contract to make sure you fully understand your obligations (and our
commitment) to it.
Our relationship doesn't end once
you take your new puppy home with you. We will be available to
answer questions, enjoy your brags and funny stories and provide
assistance for the lifetime of your dog. We hope you will keep
in touch with us for as long as your Von Marc companion is with you.
