WHEN TAKING A NEW PUPPY HOME.
Just found this on another page and absolutely loved it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Expectations on taking any puppy home with you....I wanted to touch base on a common issue that breeders come across with new owners.

Realistic Expectations

You go to the breeders home. The pups are all social. They are quiet in the pen. The breeder shows you videos of them being totally relaxed at a dog show. All looks amazing and you bring your puppy home.

Then reality hits. The puppy may cry in the crate for the first few nights making you tired and agitated. The happy social puppy is refusing to greet the half dozen overly excited friends you invited over to see your new puppy. The puppy refuses to walk on a leash. Many are wondering how did my perfect puppy turn into a nightmare.

So let’s discuss realistic expectations of when a puppy goes home. First of all the puppy has been in the breeders home since birth. They had their mother and often littermates. They had their routine, were taught expectations and were completely in their comfort zone.

Now suddenly they are taken to a totally new environment. Picture yourself being dropped into an unknown country, often in a different part of the world. You know only a few words of their language. Differnt trees, animals, smells, temperature and people. Now in the middle of this we are switching up your routine, decide to have a party with people you dont know, and ask you to do jobs you have no idea about. Overwhelming to say the least.

This is what every puppy goes through when going to their new home. Stress manifests in different forms. From not eating, reluctancy to play and greet people. Being apprehensive at the vet’s office or as strangers reach for them. Diarrhea, vomiting and being depression can occur.

So what can you as a new owner do to help your little one acclimate?

- most puppies take 3-4 weeks to acclimate to their new home. Repeat after me THREE to FOUR WEEKS! Not a 1-2 days. I can’t stress this enough about how much time is needed for a dog or puppy to feel comfortable in their new home!
- limit guests during the first week. We understand you are excited to show off your new baby but they need time to adjust. Plan on waiting 1-2 weeks before inviting people over
- ask guest to sit on the ground and let the puppy approach them. No squealing and grabbing the puppy
- set up a good routine
- restrict the puppy to a small area of the house. This not only reduces them being overwhelmed but also allows you to watch them
- don’t expect a 9-13 week old puppy to walk on a leash. Instead work at home with a leash where they are comfortable. Let them drag the leash, use treats to encourage them to walk with you
- if your puppy is refusing to walk give them time. My first trips to town with puppies a walk around a small block took 1 1/2 hours. We only move when they initiate the movement as they need time to take in the different environment
- understand your puppy needs time to see you as family. Expecting an immediate bond is unrealistic
- train your puppy. This not only helps you to bond but the puppy to look to you for direction and input
- lastly be patient. Don’t declare “omg there’s something wrong with this dog”. Nothing occurs overnight. Outings should be planned at puppy speed. So while you might imagine a fun walk around the lake in reality your puppy might only be able to handle walking a short distance that day.

Most outings for me take a long time, as I am often just standing still as the puppy cautiously explores the new environment. Patience is key!

Remember if the puppy was wonderful at the breeder’s house but now struggling you as the owner need to help the puppy adjust which takes time, patience and training. have realistic expectations and give the puppy positive experiences. Each puppy is an individual, don’t compare your current puppy to past pets and judge their behavior based on how another dog handled things. Lastly, try to see thing’s from a puppy’s perspective and adjust situations accordingly.

Navigating Your Wolf Hybrid Journey
A Guide to Choosing the Right Breeder

Embarking on the path to bring a wolf hybrid puppy into your life is an exciting and meaningful decision. Ensuring a positive experience starts with selecting a reputable and responsible breeder. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you research and identify the right breeder for your wolf hybrid companion:

1. Understand Wolf Hybrid Characteristics:
Educate yourself about the traits, needs, and challenges associated with wolf hybrids. Recognizing their unique characteristics will guide you in making informed decisions.

2. Seek Reputable Breeders:
Look for breeders who are recognized by reputable organizations like the Western Timber Dog Association (WTDA) or other credible canine associations. Membership often indicates a commitment to ethical breeding practices.

3. Assess Breeder Transparency:
Choose a breeder who is transparent about their practices. Reputable breeders willingly share information about their breeding program, living conditions of the dogs, and health protocols.

4. Verify Health Screening Practices:
Inquire about the breeder’s health screening practices for breeding dogs. Ensure they conduct genetic testing to minimize the risk of hereditary health issues in the puppies.

5. Visit the Breeder’s Facility:
Schedule a visit to the breeder’s facility. This hands-on approach allows you to observe the living conditions of the dogs, meet the breeder in person, and ask questions directly.

6. Evaluate Socialization Efforts:
A good breeder prioritizes early socialization for their puppies. Ask about the breeder’s efforts in exposing the puppies to various stimuli and experiences crucial for their development.

7. Request References:
Ask the breeder for references from previous puppy buyers. Hearing about the experiences of others can provide valuable insights into the breeder’s reputation and the health and behavior of their dogs.

8. Discuss Puppy Placement Criteria:
A responsible breeder will inquire about your lifestyle, experience with dogs, and expectations. Be cautious if a breeder seems more focused on making a sale than ensuring the well-being of their puppies.

9. Review Contract and Guarantees:
Carefully review the breeder’s contract and any health guarantees offered. A reputable breeder is transparent about terms and conditions, especially concerning genetic health guarantees.

10. Explore Online Presence and Reviews:
Check the breeder’s online presence, including their website and social media. Look for reviews and testimonials from previous buyers to gather additional perspectives on the breeder’s practices.

11. Verify Compliance with Local Regulations:
Ensure the breeder adheres to local regulations and legal requirements associated with the ownership and breeding of wolf hybrids.

Navigating the journey to find a reputable wolf hybrid breeder requires diligence and careful consideration. Take your time, ask questions, and trust your instincts to ensure a successful and enriching partnership with a responsible breeder and your new wolf hybrid companion.

Red Flags to Watch Out For: Avoiding Potential Issues in Your Search for a Wolf Hybrid Breeder

In your quest to find the perfect wolf hybrid companion, it’s crucial to be vigilant and aware of certain red flags that may indicate potential issues with a breeder. Here are key warning signs to consider during your research:

1. Concealed Breeder Information:
Be cautious of breeders who use brokers or services that conceal their name and contact information until after the puppy is paid for. A reputable breeder should be transparent and readily provide details about their breeding practices, facility, and contact information.

2. Commercial Breeder License:
Exercise caution if a breeder requires a commercial breeders license. This license is typically needed for breeders with more than four breeding females and specific business practices.

Be wary of breeders who:

• Sell puppies sight unseen, preventing you from meeting the puppy, parents, or seeing the breeding environment.
• Sell puppies to research labs for experimentation.
• Sell puppies to pet stores.
• Sell puppies to brokers or use services to conceal their identity until after the sale is complete.

3. Lack of Public Contact Information:
A responsible breeder is open and transparent. Avoid breeders who do not have their name and contact information readily available to the public. A legitimate breeder will welcome inquiries and be accessible for questions, visits, and discussions about their breeding practices.

By staying vigilant and being aware of these red flags, you can make an informed decision and choose a breeder who is committed to the well-being of their wolf hybrids and ensuring a positive experience for both you and your new furry companion.

This April, we will be needing some volunteers to come play with young wolfdog pups to get them good and socialized.

It will be required that you step into a bleach bucket and clean your hands thoroughly before being allowed to interact with them.

We would like men, women, and children to come get their cuddle and chew on. People in uniform are also welcome.

We will likely be doing this meet and greet in the Marshall Texas tractor supply parking lot pending approval from the store manager.

This will NOT be a parking lot deal so please refrain from coming to try and barter with us. This will be a means for fun public education and puppy socialization.

Afternoon!

Hi, allow me to introduce myself:

My name is Mystic Lady of the Pines!

I am a 2 year old wolfdog of 49.6% gray wolf per embark DNA Veterinary and I have lineage from both arctic lines, and occidentalis lines.

My mother is a very large black-phase occidentalis high content wolfdog and my father is a solid white multigenerational low content wolfdog with arctic lineage.

I have a medium agouti coat, very large well furred paws, and a long slender body.

I love children and I love hotdogs, literally, I'll do anything for a hot dog!

I love to go on walks, to smell flowers, and roll in anything that stinks.

I eat high protein kibble and and many different types of raw meat and bones.

I have a bonded life-long mate named Taz and my favorite pass time is pushing him around.
