ATTENTION NEW PUPPY OWNERS…….
I wanted to touch base on a common issue that happens when new puppies go home sometimes...

REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS-
You see the breeders pictures and videos and the pups are all social. They are quiet and sweet and playing happily with household pack. The breeder shows you videos of them being totally relaxed, happy, playful. All looks amazing and you bring your puppy home.

Then reality hits. The puppy may cry 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. Or the overly excited playful children you have at home. 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 breeder's home since birth. They had their mother and 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, in a different part of the world. You know only a few words of their language. Different sounds, smells, temperature, animals and people.
Now in the middle of this we are switching up your routine, possibly decide to have a party with people you don't 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 depression can occur and HYPOGLYCEMIA.

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 sometimes even Longer! Not 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!

PLEASE limit guests during the first two weeks. 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 guests to remove their shoes before entering the home to prevent germs from spreading to your new vulnerable puppy.
-have guests sit on the floor/ground and wait until the puppy approaches them. NO squealing and grabbing the puppy, as this is very frightening to them.
- 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 an 8 to 16 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 a good amount of time.
- understand your puppy needs time to see you as family. Expecting an immediate bond is unrealistic. They will need to establish who the leader of the pack is in order to feel safe and understand the hierarchy of the family unit.
- train your puppy. This not only helps you to bond but the puppy to look to you for direction and input.
-Children are also big stressors to tiny fragile puppies, please keep an eye on children around the puppy at all times. The children may need to learn how fragile the puppy is and how scared it may be.
- lastly, most importantly- BE PATIENT. Don’t declare “omg there’s something wrong with this dog”. Nothing occurs overnight.

Outings should be planned after the puppy has received ALL vaccinations and then only at the puppy’s 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. They may be curious and energetic, they may become overwhelmed. Watch the puppy for cues on how to proceed.
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 is 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 feedback and happy 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.

Love your puppy and they will love you 100 times more in return.

Princess Moon Lily is a Powder Puff that has been spayed and is looking to move into a new home. All my sales are done on Good Dog so please go to my link and fill out an application if you're interested. You can also send me a message here.

She's 8 months old, a ditzy playful full of energy go go go kind of gal. But gives great snuggles too. Crate trained and rides in the car easily. Still needs work on house training as she still wants to use potty pads and carpets to wee on. Sometimes is good about pooping in the litter box tho 😁

Boy #1 Hairless with a little bit of hair. First born and he lets me know it! This strikingly marked slate and white pup is just the cutest little bitty nakey 💙

05/27/2024

Boy #2 Puff. This chonker is the biggest in the bunch and he's sporting the cutest 3 Spots on that pretty white coat. He's possibly sired by Matthew who's original and registered name is 3 Spots 😍

05/27/2024

Boy #3 Hairy Hairless. Pink with white trim and a couple little slate spots at the moment. So far he's the quietest baby in the bunch 🤗

05/27/2024

Boy #4 Puff. This handsome fella has nearly perfect symmetrical markings and the most shiny, silkiest coat ever. I'm so in love 💙

05/26/2024

At 1:39,2:22,2:37 and 3:19 Dilenny brought 4 baby BOYS into our world.
💙 Hairless Slate/White
💙 White Puff w/black spots
💙 Hairy Hairless White
💙 Black/White Puff
I'm thinking maybe Matthew sired the white puff based on the colors this time and the back dew claws? If new owners must know, I can do DNA otherwise I will just keep them unregistered this time around.

05/25/2024

Gonna share some puppies from another breeder!! These are related to my dogs. Mother Sasha is half Chinese Crested (from Solomon, Matthew's dad) and a pretty little Yorkie Poo. Dad is a purebred ShihTzu. They are in Orting,WA and only about 2 weeks old currently. There are three hairless and three puffs. I labeled the boys and girls. If you want to know more about them send me a message.

If you're a member of this group or are able to join this group and start reporting it plus this person who has created a profile please do so. Margaret shuckwitz is a breeder friend of mine and they're using my first name in the front of it cuz they know that I'm coming after them. Take any screenshots if you see them trying to sell pictures of my puppies. Pretend to be a buyer and see how much information you can get out of them.

The boys are growing up so fast. First outside field trip. The little puffs seem to enjoy it and the hairless as usual act like they are going to freeze to death. LOL but they are all doing really great! #cutepuppy #chinesecrested #puppies #chinesecresteds #chinesecresteddog #puffs #nakeddogs #cutepuppy #puppiesofinstagram #powderpuffdog #cuteanimals #powderpuff

A little bit of outside actions. They really love running all over the place! So glad the weather is getting nicer so they can come outside now.

Evening playtime. We got fetchers, thieves and licky lap puppies.

The flakes are a flurry of motion nowadays. Soon they will be chasing their momma at high speed!!

They are on the move everyone. Soon I will have puppies all over the place running amok. 😍

The little MoonFlakes are a week old tonight. How did that happen already?! I've got four gorgeous boys that have not been reserved. Our only lass has been reserved and now goes by Princess Moon Lily. Claim one of these sweet boys and you can give him a name of your own! For now I've been rolling around a few... Space Pirate, Moon Bean, Eclipse and Moonyoonooka(a suggestion from someone saying it is an Aboriginal name)
