What do you put in your puppy kits for the new owners to take home with your babies? I know Eukanuba has a good little kit, who else and what else do you include? THANKS!

Oh my, I go all out.. I include a 15lb bag of their food, food bowls, dog bed, blanket, treats, toys, health records in a folder, nutrical, book about yorkies, belly band for boys, panties for girls, brush, comb and any extras that I find..

Here's a picture of what I send home with my babies..
The booklet has all the babies information, papers, shot records, microchip paperwork and all necessary information that I think is important, also photos of the babies from birth up to 12 weeks and photos of parents.
HTH,
hugs,

No need to be embarrassed. When I placed my first puppy....I didn't even put anything in order. Put everything into a shopping bag.....contract, shot records, pedigree, contract, vet records.....a bed, toy, food. Things have evolved....I now have a pedigree generator that prints out a birth certificate....I can put a puppy paw brint on there at time of birth and another on the day they go home....But, I just keep adding to the puppy package. And as I think, gee what would I like to have had when I brought my first puppy home.....what would have helped me. Oh! I have added washable pee pads and throw away ones. If I have enough time, I have a girlfriend of mine monogram a towel with their new name on it. And prior to the puppy going home I give them a list of things they need to have, type of shampoo, ear cleaner, brushes, combs, eye cleaner, conditioners, x-pen, dishes. I'm looking into putting together a small grooming package...kind of like what you get in a hotel. It can get a bit out of control.....as my husband says.....why don't you just give them the dog....without everything and you might not be in the red.

yorkielady06 · 03-09-2010, 07:13 PM

I bet it can...now I am going to read this post again and do some shopping. Mary do you use the TBS software? I was looking into that but was not sure if it was worth the $89 bucks plus $54 I think for the pedigree generator...That would be a beautiful addition to the puppy care package.

I don't think I paid that much for The Breeder Standard. I had an older version, but my computer crashed (and as you guessed it I had down loaded it and didn't have the disc) So, I had to purchase a new package last year (it's a good thing that I had paper copies in my hard copy file), then bought an enhanced pedigree generator for about 15 dollars. It's well worth the money...it does so much. Keeps track of your breeding, where your puppies are placed. Spurts out all kinds of reports....this way and that way. Great for tax purposes.....showing....keeps tracks of the money you spend on that, plus judges likes and dislikes.....you name it, it's great. I so want the 2010 version....but, I think I'll wait as for those that have older versions the price comes down around June.

yorkielady06 · 03-09-2010, 07:51 PM

I went on the website and here is what I copied....TBS 2010 will be priced at $109.99 for new purchases and $59.99 for upgrades. However, for those who buy TBS 2009 now at $89.99 or upgrades at $41.99, those people will receive TBS 2010 free. $12.75 extra charge if you want a new CD with TBS 2010. And the pedigree ones are 24.99 and 9.99 not sure which one to get...then they have the professional stuff compuped and genetics? wow it replaces all those hours researching pedigrees?? maybe... Wondering if the TBS and pedigree ones will be good though? I have been reading on them just would like to get the best one first time out..

peachbongi · 03-10-2010, 10:26 AM

Wow, it looks like I have some work to do while I wait on the babies to cook in mommy's tummy! (beats knitting) Carmen I love the little bags, where did you find those? Mardelin, can I buy a puppy from you? LOL

You really go all out! I love the puppy print idea. I have some certificate paper I may try that on. Any places you buy from that you seem to get a better deal than others? I got some cute baby blankets from the dollar store believe it or not. This is a great help!

I use to send home baby, blankets and a bed. But, have resorted to a cozy cuddler that I make Simplicity Pattern #3906. I started out making them out of what I call that eyelash material with the opposite side in fleece (blue for boys and pink for girls). But, found that it pulled on the coat (being I'm an exhibitor, I always worry about the coat). So, I've switched to Faux Fur and baby chinelle. Now I make them in the colors that are requested by the new family.
