The A-puppies enjoying life outdoors
     
     

All puppies from River Nova grow up inside our house with the family and are well socialised before they go to their new homes. The first weeks they spend most of their time in the puppy pen with their mother and visiting two-legged, and from the age of 3 weeks and forward they are gradually introduced to new enviroments, other dogs, other animals, travelling by car, new people (kids and adults) vacuuming, etc. They are also introduced to cold game at an early age, and at age 7 all puppies go through an inofficial puppy test to look for differences in personlity before it is decided who goes where. The puppies are ready to go to their new homes at the tender age of 9 weeks.

Before the puppies arrive in their new homes, they've...


- recieved their first vaccine
- been examined by a veterinarian and recieved a health certificate
- been de-wormed
- been microchippe
- been insured for hidden faults
- been registrered in the Norwegian Kennel Club


Along with the puppy, you recieve...


- the Norwegian Kennel Club's sales contract
- vaccination and health certificate
- pedigree
- a small "puppy present"
- a pamphlet with some information about the puppy's parents, some tips for new puppy owners, training tips, breed information, etc.
