When will I know which puppy I'm paired with?

Puppies leave to their new homes at 8 weeks therefore I will post matches once final evaluations are done

Puppies are matched based on temperament and drive as well as the information you provide in your puppy questionnaire form. We do not take coat color preference in consideration at all We will match you with the best puppy we feel fit. If you are familiar with the breed you know the Malinois high energy and extreme drive can make them hard to handle if paired with someone looking for a more low drive puppy. Therefore we choose where each puppy goes based on the owners experience with the breed and exactly what their looking for in their new Malinois. We do not guarantee temperament or drive the day you pick up your puppy you will see how they act. Keep in mind they are babies it takes time for them to transition in a new environment.

 

Scheduling Puppy Pick Up Appointment

 

Puppies leave at 8 weeks of age it is your responsibility to respond to our calls and messages regarding your puppy. If you are unable to pick the puppy up we require full payment of the puppy by the day they turn 8 weeks plus puppy starter fees or we will go to the next in line We will NOT hold a puppy after 8 weeks. When the time is near to confirm and schedule your appointment I will send a message or call everyone on the list to schedule a pick up day and time usually the 7th week. We normally have pick ups the weekend before and after depending on which day the puppies turn 8 weeks. If we have made several attempts to contact you with no response we will then go to the next in line. We suggest sending a text at least a week before they turn 8 weeks confirming you 100% want the puppy and will pick up the puppy.

​

        When You Bring Your Puppy Home

It is time to start prepping for your little Maligator or Maliangel, puppy proofing your home and property anywhere you plan on taking your puppy needs to be safe for them to run and play. Our adult Malinois are secured in 10x10x6 welded wire kennels that are closed on on top so they are escape proof we also have a 8ft fence. If you are crate training we suggest putting the crate somewhere away from the bedrooms such as a laundry room or garage somewhere with good air flow. The first weeks are the hardest getting them used to the crate they will cry and howl invest in some good ear plugs for the whole family. Do not put the crate near anything they can pull inside the crate such as curtains. Putting them in a dark room with even a sound machine is good they are raised inside our dog room which has the washer and dryer as well as a radio so they are used to noise. We do not suggest leaving your puppy in a crate longer then a typical bedtime or going for errands during the day or they will potty in the crate or attempt to chew through the crate even break the locking mechanism. We have a welded wire metal puppy pen inside that is 40 inches tall here's the link Amazon Puppy Pen we have multiple sets that we connect together. Once your puppy is tall enough they will attempt to climb out it's important to either set up a secured kennel outside or crate train so when you leave the house you know they will be ok we also have Samsung security cameras outside and Nest cameras inside so we can watch them when we leave the house.

        Puppy Health & Vet Visits
 
Your puppy will leave up to date on all age appropriate vaccines & dewormings, which are outlined in your puppies health record. We ask that you  continue with the puppies vaccine and deworming schedule.

Puppies should have received all vaccines including rabies at 16 weeks 
We ask that you DO NOT bring your puppy anywhere without good reason until one week after their final vaccination because they will not have full immunity against diseases until that point. 
Public places such as (dog parks,pet stores,grooming salons,dog trails) do not always require to see a vaccine record.
We DO NOT warranty communicable diseases,we take precautions while your puppy is here to make sure they do not come in contact with any life threatening diseases.
We know that socialization is very important and we want your puppy to be well socialized. 
There are many ways to do so without allowing them to run and play in areas you don’t know are sanitized. 
Invite friends & family over to meet your puppy just make sure to sanitize floors before and after, parvovirus can be easily tracked in on the bottom of shoes. 

If you want to bring your puppy somewhere so they can see other people hold the puppy or put the puppy in a carrier,wagon,something where they can not walk on the ground.
We DO NOT warranty injury, please make sure to not put your puppy up on high areas such as (the back of trucks,high beds,porches or anywhere left un supervised) that they can fall off or attempt to jump.
Puppy growth plates are not closed until at least 12 months of age and jumping on open growth plates can cause long term damage.

    Foods To Avoid Feeding Your Malinois

  Never give your puppy cooked bones at any age, bones can get stuck in intestines  which can cause blockage. If you are interested in feeding raw, introduce slowly, kibble requires a different pH in the gut to digest, feeding raw too soon in large quantities will make your puppy more susceptible to the bacteria in the raw meats.  Never give them raw pork which can cause the parasite infection known as trichinosis which is fatal.

                Owner Surrender Policy

 

Malinois can be a tough breed to raise if you do not already have hands on experience and we fully understand at times you may have no choice but to re home your puppy. At times if we have space we will accept puppies back with understanding the dog is not to be altered (Spayed or Neutered) or have any aggressive issues they need to be in good physical health and we do require their AKC and current Health Records. It takes time and money to house, feed, vet, train the dog so it is ready to transition into a new home as long as the dog is unaltered with no aggression and in good physical and mental health there's a good chance of re homing them. We do suggest trying everything you can before making this decision since it takes a tole on them emotionally moving home to home. Contact me with any questions (254) 226-5858
