Thanks in advance for any answers. |

1. When they come in they have to have a current health certificate by a veterinarian from the country they originate from.
2. When the dogs arrive from they have to be checked by APHIS/Dept. of agrigulture before they are released from customs. When the dogs arrive into my kennel they are automatically wormed, sprayed for parasites, and revaccinated. My breeding dogs do not live in cages. They are in long runs 10 x 30 concrete runs that are washed down twice a day. The puppies have grassed exercise pens to run in outside (wheather permitting). At night and on not so nice days the puppies are in holding pens in a temperaturized controlled building. There pens have automatic waterers and they have food at all times. Between going in and out on a daily basis they are handled quite a bit. To answer your question about how long I have the puppies the average is 3 days - 14 days before they end up in with permanent family. The puppies I import come from small operations not puppy mills like everyone thinks. I have seen these places myself and personnally know most of these breeders some of them are my family members in Ireland and England.
