Abby Daba Doo Vizsla Breeder: Puppy Checklist

1: A health certificate or health record with appropriate vaccination stamps, dates, or a
Vet signature. Most puppies should be vaccinated 1-2 times by the time they are 12
weeks old

2: A record of tattoo or microchip and the correct number. If it is a tattoo, be sure to ask
where the tattoo is located, and look to make sure the number matches up.

3: A health certificate or health record with appropriate deworming information. Most
puppies should be dewormed 1-2 times by the time they are 12 weeks old.

4: Be sure to record your puppies parents Registration names, numbers, & OFA/OVC
numbers (if applicable).

5: Gather your puppies birth date, & litter size and remember to ask the breeder to
supply you with a 3-5 generation pedigree.

6: Ask the breeder about getting a sample baggy of the puppy food that they were
feeding, and ask for recommendations. This bag of food will come in handy if you are
planning to switch brand-names, as you can mix it more gradually with your new food.

7: If you have purchased a pet, make sure you receive a copy of the signed
non-breeding contract.

8: A SIGNED (by the breeder & yourself) copy of the written contract/health &
temperament guarantee.

Bringing Puppy Home - What you will need:

1: A kennel, crate or x-pen (sized for your puppy or one size larger to allow room for
growth.)

2: Newspapers for your kitchen (potty training)

3: A leather leash, buckle or snap collar, and a retractable leash for long walks at the dog
park.

4: Puppy food as recommended by the breeder, your Vet, or other recommendations.

5: A slicker brush, undercoat rake, & a daily use brush

6: Doggy shampoo

7: Paper towels, LOTS of those, your going to need them!

8: A comfy blanket, or pillow to make theirs.

9: A nail clipper (start clipping once a week from the beginning, if you don't, you WILL
regret it. )

10: Rawhide bones for teething, and a dental bone to keep those pearly whites looking
great!

11: Bedding for your kennel, crate or x-pen

12: An ID tag for your pup's collar with microchip or tattoo information, your name &
number, and Vet contact information.

13: Food and water bowels (STAINLESS STEEL - plastic has been known to rub the nose
leather off leaving you with a pinkish nose)

14: A baby gate, if you need to train the puppy to stay in a specific room of the home, or
more importantly if you don't want to see your carpets ruined.

15: A set of ear plugs to protect you from the whining you will hear the first few nights of
kennel training. . .
16: A great deal of patience. :-)

GOOD LUCK!

So your buying a puppy. . .
