CONGRATULATIONS ON BUYING AWORLD-CLASS BORDER COLLIE, THE ONLY BREED WHERE ALL BREEDERS BELIEVE A DOG SHOULD NEVER BE JUDGED BY LOOKS, COLOR OR CONFORMATION BUT ONLY BY ITS ABILITY TO PERFORM-ITS ABIITY TO HELP A HUMAN AND ITSELF.
WHILE YOU ARE HERE WE WILL GIVE YOUR PUPPY ITS FIRST PUPPY SHOT. IT WILL NEED ITS NEXT SHOT AT 9 TO 10 WEEKS OF AGE AND EVERY 3-4 WEEKS AFTER THAT UNTIL IT IS 16 TO 19 WEEKS OF AGE FOR A TOTAL OF 4 TO 5 SHOTS. DETAILS OF THE SHOTS WE USE ARE ON OUR WEBSITE ON THE HEALTHCARE PAGE. CLICK HERE FOR HEALTHCARE.
THE PUPPY HAS BEEN WORMED REGULARLY SINCE IT TURNED 2 WEEKS OLD AND WILL NEED WORMING MONTHLY FOR THE REST OF ITS LIFE TO PROTECT IT FROM ROUNDWORMS, HOOKWORMS AND HEARTWORMS. MORE DETAILS UNDER HEALTHCARE.
RABIES SHOT AT ABOUT 12 WEEKS DEPENDING ON STATE LAW IS A VET ONLY ITEM.
YOU WILL RECEIVE THE PUPPY'S REGISTRATION PAPERS WHEN YOU PICK UP THE PUPPY.
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU BUY A BAG OF PRO PAC PUPPY FOOD WHILE YOU ARE HERE TO HELP THE TRANSITION TO ITS NEW FOOD. WE RECOMMEND YOU FEED THE PUPPY AND ANY ACTIVE BORDER COLLIE A FOOD WITH 30% PROTEIN AND 20% FAT. GENERIC PRO PAC PUPPY IS THE CHEAPEST 30%-20% QUALITY FOOD BUT PURINA PRO PLAN PUPPY, IAMS PUPPY AND EUCANUBA PUPPY ARE ALL GOOD. THE KEY IS 30% PROTEIN AND 20% FAT. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE REASONABLY PRICED, HIGH QUALITY PRO PAC DOG FOOD CLICK HERE.
IT IS MOST IMPORTANT FOR ANY COLLIE BREED THAT THEY NEVER GET SOFT FOOD SUCH AS CANNED DOG FOOD, TABLE SCRAPS OR SOFT TREATS. ALL FOODS AND TREATS MUST BE DRY SO THAT EVERY TIME THE DOG EATS IT IS CLEANING ITS TEETH.
THE PUPPY MAY THROW UP ON THE TRIP HOME. BRING A TOWEL OR CRATE AND HAVE AVAILABLE CLEAN, COLD WATER AS VOMITING DEHYDRATES THE PUPPY.
WE HAVE A GOOD SELECTION OF COLLARS, SHIPPING CRATES, LEASHES AND OTHER PET SUPPLES HERE IN OUR GENERAL STORE.
REMEMBER THE MORE ACTIVITY WITH A HUMAN WITH CONSISTENT DISCIPLINE IN IT'S LIFE, THE HAPPIER THE PUPPY AND YOU WILL BE. CRATING OR KENNELING WHEN YOU LEAVE THE PUPPY AT HOME IS RECOMMENDED. SEE GENERAL INFORMATION FOR MORE DETAILS.
BUCHANAN BORDER COLLIES TEXAS SHIPS BY COMMERCIAL AIRLINES, PRIVATE AIRPLANE AND GROUND BASED TRANSPORTATION, AS BEST SUITS THE NEEDS IN EACH CASE.
