Your Meet-and-Greet Happens at Pickup
I get this question a lot, so I want to walk you through how we do things here.
Your meet-and-greet with your puppy happens at your scheduled pickup. That day is your chance to meet your pup in person, spend real time with them, and make sure it’s the right fit for you and your family. We don’t do separate visits before then, and there’s good reason for it.
Why pickup is the meet-and-greet
At any given time, we have puppies here at all different ages, and not all of them have their full set of shots yet. Until a puppy is fully vaccinated, their immune system isn’t fully protected. So when I keep visits to pickup day only, I’m not just protecting your puppy. I’m protecting every pup on the property, including the little ones who are far too young to fight off anything that comes in on shoes, hands, or a car.
It isn’t me being difficult. It’s the single most effective thing I can do to keep every litter healthy and safe during the weeks they’re most vulnerable. By the time you come for pickup, your puppy is ready to safely meet you and head home.
Your deposit is always transferable
This is the part that takes the pressure off. Your deposit is never locked to one specific puppy. You can move it to any available pup right up until pickup, so you are never stuck with a decision that doesn’t feel right. If you get to pickup day and connect more with another available puppy, that’s completely fine.
What you get before pickup day
You are not going in blind. Not even close.
- Live FaceTime or Zoom calls. You see your puppy in real time and can ask me anything. I’m with these puppies every day, so I know their personalities better than a short visit ever could show you.
- Personality videos and photos. You get a real feel for who your puppy is and how they act.
- Time together at pickup. When you come, you’ll meet your puppy in person, and you’re welcome to meet other available pups that day too.
One honest note
I’ve placed over 300 French Bulldogs this way, and every family has found the puppy they connected with. The FaceTime calls and personality videos give you a better read on a pup than a quick early visit would, because you’re seeing them in their normal environment with someone who knows them well.
If you’ve done a FaceTime and still feel unsure, reach out and let’s talk it through. That’s what I’m here for.
