Why pay more for a pet puppy
 

The 850,- Puppy vs. The 450,- Puppy

850 - Both the sire and dam of this puppy came from top quality breeding stock which was developed over years and years of selective and knowledgeable breeding. Both meet the requirement of the written FCI & Dutch kennelclub standard for the breed in conformation as well as temperament. Each has a pedigree, which has been studied and thoroughly researched. These dogs have been selected to breed to each other because they can both contribute to the excellence of the breed as well as complement on another.

450.00 - The dam of this litter was purchased from a local pet store/ farm and originally came from a puppy mill. She was sick off and on the first year of her life due to too many different types of intestinal parasites and malnutrition. The sire, an over-sized male, lives down the street and was purchased from an ad in the newspaper. Neither owner has ever heard of the FCi or Dutch kennelclub written standard. Neither owner has seen a written pedigree. The female is skittish and snappy. Her owners hope that having a litter will calm her down.

850 - Before this breeding ever took place, both male and female had test including hip X-Rays, eye tests and DNA- tests to determine that there were no physical or genetic problems that might be passed on to offspring. The breeder is well aware of the genetic problems to which the breed is predisposed and uses no animal for breeding unless it is certified clear-Normal of defects by a qualified Veterinarian. The health of her pups is guaranteed.

450.- The breeder is totally unaware of the genetic problems within the breed. Trips to the Veterinarian, except for dire emergencies or yearly shots, are considered too expensive. The breeders' hope is to make money off the sale of the puppies. If he keeps expenses down, he can by that new couch he's been wanting. Puppies are sold with no guarantee.

850 - The breeder is a professional and he has a good reputation to maintain. His goal is to produce beautiful and sound specimens, which anyone would be proud to own. Profit, if any is made, goes toward future breedings, always aimed toward the betterment of the breed, or for show entries, handler's fees, new equipment and important veterinary tests. Both the mother and pups are fed the highest quality diet. Many trips to the vet assure him that mother and pups are thriving under the very best care. The pups are raised in a busy part of the house where they are socialized, groomed and exposed to different kinds of stimuli. They are touched and talked to, cuddled and even sung to. They are never sold before they are seven weeks old. Every buyer is interviewed at length and pups are placed only in homes where they will receive the finest treatment. The breeder spends time with each new owner, educating and answering questions. Follow-up calls are made to make sure the pups are adjusting well. Each new owner receives a bill of sale and health guarantees, vaccination record, minimum 3-generation pedigree, guarantee of registration with the Dutch kennelclub and thorough puppy care and nutrition information. If the puppy is not considered to be of such quality as it will better the breed the puppy is sold with a limited registration or non-breeding agreements. The new owners are encouraged to continue a relationship with the breeder, and to call and ask questions at any time during the dog's life.

450,- These puppies are born in a box, in the garage and receive little care other than what the mother gives. To cut costs they are weaned on generic dog food and allowed to nurse on the mother as long as possible to keep food bills down. The bitch's health declines rapidly due to poor health and some pups are weak and runty. They are sold as quickly as possible because advertising and vaccines are expensive. They are sold without having had their dewclaws removed, without shots, parasite checks, vet examinations, guarantees or information of any kind. They are sold to anyone who has the cash. The new owner usually disappears with the pup, never to be seen again. If the market is not good, the breeder takes the leftover pups to the local pet shop.

850,- The older bitches and males will have a safe and comfert Ritiredment.

450,- The oldies of these breeders dump this older dogs after having to much litters. Moostly 10 litter in a life time.

The comparison you have just read is hypothetical, but very typical of what we see all too often. Although not every breeder who charges higher prices is reputable and ethical, pet buyers should keep looking until they find one that is. When I am asked why my prices are so much higher than those in some newspaper ads, I mail a copy of this article. Those buyers who respect the quality and excellence are wonderful customers and become "partners" in this hobby that I love so much. Those that are seeking pets deserve nothing less than a nice quality, healthy and trusting animal. As well as a breeder they can count on.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE  

We at Shamrock Field Kennel believe that purchasing a puppy is a big commitment. 

It is in fact, a lifetime commitment.  

Our interest in the puppy doesn't stop when it leaves our care, far from it. Each puppy that leaves our kennels is considered a never-ending responsibility. With this in mind, we will only sell a puppy to a person that will agree to the following terms and conditions:  

If the dog cannot be kept - for any reason - at any time during its life, it is returned to us at Shamrock Field Kennels for re-homing. If you have another home in mind for the dog, you are required to advise us prior to re-homing, as we need to be sure that the new home is suitable. We also like to keep a track on where our dogs are and of their well being in general.

 

We don't send puppy's with a aircraft to his/her  new owners! We ask you to come over and take the pup with a car to his new home or airplain gething him up with the hand bagage...;-]

 

The dog must receive all required vaccinations, periodic worming, constant Flea and Tick treatment and any other treatment your veterinarian advises to keep your dog in top physical and mental condition. The dog must receive any necessary veterinary treatment, whether for accident or illness, routine or emergency. Be safe, not sorry.

You must advise us of any condition that arises that affect the dog's health. This is very important, as we are always concerned about the risk of any hereditary problems that may occur. The only way for us to minimise this risk is with your help

Because the Border Collie is a Working Dog, we strongly encourage you to undertake a course in basic obedience. If you do not know of an obedience club close to you, we can make enquiries on your behalf. REMEMBER that a Border Collie is a very intelligent animal, if not continually challenged, it will become bored and destructive.

Here at Shamrock Field Kennels believe that every puppy born under our prefix is special and deserving of the very best start to life that we can provide. Therefore, we agree to the following:

  • All dogs living at Shamrock Field Kennels receive the utmost care and devotion at all times.

  • All of our breeding dogs are Kennelclub Registered, Hip Scored & Eye Tested including Gonioscopy & are DNA tested or Genetically Clear/Unaffected for CEA/CL/TNS.

  • All puppies whelped at Shamrock Field Kennels will receive all vaccinations, 3 times worming treatments fully vet checked  and veterinary attention up until the day they leave our care. Also a rabies form that they never ever wher in contact with Rabies, also my older dogs never in contact with Rabies. in my country ther is NO Rabies. Thank God...;-]

  • All puppies shall have extensive socialisation with other animals, humans etc before leaving our kennels.

  • We promise to maintain an interest in the well being of the dog once it leaves our care. Please remember that we would love the occasional visit and/or photo of your puppy.

  • We promise to be of assistance to you regarding the well being of the dog at any stage during its life. No enquiry is too small or too large where our dogs are concerned.

  • The puppy will remain in our care until it has reached the age of at least 7 weeks. Only after this age will we release a puppy into the care of its new owners.

  • When the puppy is released into your care, we will provide you with an information pack advising you of diet, health care, information on hereditary diseases that affect the breed, background information, updates and progress reports of your puppy up to and including the day you take ownership.

If you have any questions regarding these Terms and Conditions, please do not hesitate to discuss them with us.  

 

The Early Critical Puppy Periods:    

Neonatal Period (Birth - 12 days): The puppy reacts only to the smell of its mother, to hot and cold and, to some extent, pain. Obtaining nutrition and staying warm are the puppy's two functions.  

  Transition Period (13 to 20 days): Tail wagging starts. First teeth erupt. Eye's open and react to light, but cannot see movement or objects. Begins to react to sound when startled, but unable to locate source.  

 

Awareness Period (21 to 28 days): Able to use senses of sight and hearing. A stable and familiar environment is essential during this period. Moving a litter to a new location could psychologically scar the puppies.  

  Canine Socialisation Period (21 to 49 days): The puppy learns the behaviours that make him a dog. Puppies must remain with the mother and littermates throughout this time. He will practice body postures, facial expressions and vocalisations, and learn their effect on his siblings and mother and any other dog around. Learns how to bark and bite and what it sounds and feels like. Above all he learns discipline. Socialisation with other animals and people is ideal during this period, as it is a time of bonding. Puppies that are removed from the litter too early tend to be nervous and to bark and bite and often cannot accept discipline, they are frequently aggressive with other dogs,  

 

Human Socialisation Period (7 to 12 weeks): The age when most rapid learning occurs. At 7 weeks the puppy has the brain waves of an adult, although not the concentration. Learning at this age is permanent - whether desirable or not. The ideal time to start obedience training in a positive manner. Needs to be exposed to people, objects and noises now if he has not already received this with the breeder.

Fear Impact Period ( 8 to 11 weeks): Any painful, frightening or traumatic experience will have a more lasting effect on the puppy than at any other time. New experiences should be as untraumatic and non-stressful as possible.  


Seniority Classification Period (13 to 16 weeks): Also known as "The Age of Cutting" - cutting teeth and apron strings. The puppy starts to test who is going to be pack leader. If he attempts to bite seemingly in play it is an attempt to dominate. Biting should therefore be discouraged from now on. It is important that the owner understands how to be the pack leader otherwise the more dominant the dog, the more likely he is to take over. If training has not been undertaken by this age it must be started now to avoid serious problems later.
