I only have one puppy that lives anywhere close to me ::sniff:::
But she stops over with her sometimes ..I love it.wish more were closer

With my first litter, each new mom was sent home with . .....

- a healthy puppy
- veterinarian supplied vaccination records
- small bag of puppy food they had been eating
- a small toy they had been playing with
- akc paperwork
- copy of my contract
- Yorkie puppy care information sheet
- a photo sheet(s) of wallet sized pictures of the pup from birth til they left as well as a picture of Lexie and her stud. (I have since asked the same of Toby's breeder, Dee (Sugar's Mom) and Halle's breeder; for pics of them when they were born and parent's pics. Love having those for my records.)

Not bad for a first-timer I didn't think. We'll see what I add with my next litter. I like the idea of a blanket with mama's scent on it. I thought about it, but didn't get around to getting it done.

Ok...You're definitely on your way to being OCD too.
I'm so glad I'm not alone...
And some of you are even worse (better ) then me...hehe

Once again Deb, this has been really helpful. I can see other things that I might want to include in my puppy pack. Thanks ladies.

[MyTrixie143]

Our puppy care package consists of:

Baby blanket which has all the familiar smells on it
Toys
Treats
Some disposable pads
Some food, both hard and soft
Registration papers
Guarantee/Contract
Copy of pedigree
Vet records
Food and water bowl
An outfit or two
A tube of nutrical

I am thinking of adding a few things as well. I would like to make up a baby book for each puppy to go home with their new owner as well as alot of information for caring for their puppy.
I do send the new owners lots of pictures of the puppies from birth until present through email but I would like to start putting a baby book together for them instead.

All my puppies go with Their own little Birth certificate.
Info on what to do and not to do.
And a small bag of food.
They all go home with Kitty collars with the bells so hopefully they dont get stepped on

ALL my puppies go home with an infant receiving blanket that I rub all over Mama so the new puppy hopefully can smell her and have and easier couple first days getting use to their forever home.
(It makes me feel better that maybe it helps...lol)

And in the winter I always buy these little sweaters from Pat Catans that you dress little Teddy Bears in to help keep them warm as they go home.
There only about 2.99 and the puppies are adorable in them.
You have to look to find the biggest ones

At Christmas time this year I sent them home with Santa hats and collars.
Heres a pic of Teddy when he went home.
Like I said I'm a bit OCD...LOL~!

That's a really nice puppy package! I LOVE when breeders send home a blanket with mommy's scent on it! Jake came home with the blanket he had been using, and his breeder rubbed it all over mom before we left. He still has this blanket, it is his favorite! The first night we brought him home, he dragged his blanket into his bed and went to sleep on his own.

Alright alright I can't hold it in anymore...I'm really bad at keeping surprises...lol

The other thing I send home with them is this: Shutterfly | Photo Books

With birth to "now" photos.

Isn't it neat? I used it for one of the GEs here too and it went over really well.

[katelin]

Great idea and easy too.

I believe the "GE" she is referring to is the Yorkie Talk Gift Exchange. They are done quarterly and are tons of fun. You've got plenty of posts, but need to be a contributing member in order to participate. If you've never visited that section, check it out. Even if you're not participating, it's kind of fun to see who gets who and what they all get. The second one this year is about to start; we're just waiting to find out who our secret buddy is.
