Legacy Ranch Golden Retrievers

Some common questions we are getting, and that you should be aware of before you come. 1. What kind of foods are the puppies on? Our puppies are on Purina pro plan sport 30/20. This is recommended by our reduction veterinarian. All of our dogs are raised and kept on it. And we think puppies do fantastic on it. We do recommend that you keep them on the food for three days going home. They will get about a gallon sized bag of dog food. Then if you were going to switch them, make sure it’s a large breed puppy formula and slowly switch them over at least a week. And Make make sure the new formula is not grain free. They have found grain free diet in growing puppies causes massive heart problems! 2. Are the puppies on city water? Our puppies are on well water. This means that they have never been exposed to chlorine and other additives that are commonly found in city water. We recommend getting a gallon jug of filtered water and giving them that for the first few days they’re home and then slow slowly introducing tapwater every time you fill up their bowl! 3. Can we bring our dog to meet the puppies? As much as I would’ve loved to allow your family pet to come and meet the puppies for the puppy safety, we will not allow your personal dog out of your vehicle if you do bring them along. Unfortunately, not all dogs handle a mob of puppies eating them and we don’t want any Vet bills. 4. Can my family come with me to meet the puppies? Yes they can! We do request that you keep the party size 24. This is for the puppies as well as ourselves. It is a very long day for everyone involved so we try not to over face the puppies more than we already have to, so they meet all their families. If you have young children under the age of five, we will have them stay outside of the puppy pen. This is because many young children get very overwhelmed when a large group of puppies come running over and start to try to jump on them potentially nip them or lick them. And when a kid gets overwhelmed, they tend to run kick or hit whatever is terrifying them. So for their safety and the safety of our puppies, we asked that they don’t go in with the puppies. 5. Do we have a Health guarantee contract? Yes, we do! I will hopefully be sending those out here in the next day or so so that you may view them prior to coming. We will require the contract to be signed prior to the puppy. 6. What are some puppy Safe treats and toys? Most treats are pretty safe for puppies. I wouldn’t give them a whole bunch at this point in time. You can do dog training with their kibble at this age and it makes it much easier to track their food. We do not want an overweight puppy. Some of our favorites are happy Howie‘s, pepperoni, liver treats, and beef or chicken treats. I also really like bully sticks, especially when the puppies hit that teething stage, pig ears, and Himalayan chews. Some toys I really love are Kong toys I tend to buy them much larger versions of them. I don’t wanna ever risk a puppy being able to swallow them. Avoid anything with rawhide in them. If a puppy eats a big enough piece, it can cause a blockage and that is a very expensive Vet bill. If there’s any other questions you have that I may not have answered here please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask
