Initial Contact

Please contact us by email ( ldgrandemange@msn.com ), and let us know what you are looking for and how we can help. We love our pups dearly and do our best to make a perfect match, this is why we would like to get to know you. Our hope is to bring you both a lifetime of JOY!
 

Before We Meet

Before we meet, expect to receive a “prospective owner questionaire” or a phone interview. This helps me to remember your specific request, also it helps me to determine if we may have a puppy to suit you. In the process, you will hopefully get to know me as the breeder and see if I am the person you hope to work with in your search for a puppy.

Once you have filled out the questionnaire, or we have met by phone, or in person, I will keep your name on file and contact you when and if we have a pup to suit you. If I do not have what you are looking, I will do my best to refer you to another reputable breeder, usually through our club web site: www.ckcsc.org   I do not take deposits, I only ask you to keep me updated if you find another pup while waiting.
 

Grandville Welcome!

Once we have chosen a puppy for you, expect a nice long visit at our home. There we will answer all your questions and get you off to a great start!

as he meets him for the first time.

WARNING: Don’t wear your Sunday best!

It’s Francoise’s turn to get her welcome and meet Hayden!
 
Going Over Puppy Folder

During your visit I will go over your PUPPY FOLDER: This includes most of what you need to know to raise your new Cavalier: grooming, training, health…..and our Grandville Contract, which includes our spay/neuter agreement.


Here is Joyce going over her puppy folder with me and Red Sox, her new Black and Tan puppy.
 

Recommended List of Materials

Before you arrive, you will receive a letter with a list of recommended materials to buy, for example size crate, X-pen, collar, grooming items, and more. Your first bag of high quality dog food is offered to you when you come!


Essential grooming items: slicker brush, pin brush, comb, scissors, nail clippers, tooth brush and doggie toothpaste, water spray bottle, and a snood ( this goes over the head and helps to protect the long ear featherings as they eat).
Don’t worry, I will teach you how to use them!


You may also want to bring a soft sided Sherpa Bag. This will allow to carry your pup around with you
easily the first few weeks in a safe environment until he has completed his puppy shots.
Here is Hayden discovering his new comfy sherpa bag before his departure.
 

Shipping

If you are too far to drive and meet us, I will consider shipping:

I only ship if it is a short direct flight, leaving from Roanoke Virginia ( ROA). I have used Delta and they are excellent. I send the pup collect, this price is for you to pay at the arrival of your pup.

The pup will be cozy in a new crate, with a comfy bed, towels, toy, as well as water and food bowls.

My preferance, if possible, is to have you come meet us and pick up your pup, with him traveling IN CABIN with you.
I will have a health certificate ready for your air travel, and special instructions to help make your trip a pleasant one for all!


Mike came all the way from Washington State to get little Shay. Here she is all ready for her flight in her
new Sherpa Bag. These soft sided carriers are usually airline approved and perfect for your pet to
travel under your seat. Your airline will give you specific measurements for the size allowed.
Your pet must be able to turn around and stand up comfortably if needed.
 

Goodbyes

One last hug before Teddy leaves


The last goodbyes are very hard for us, and you may see me shed a tear or two, but we take great pleasure in knowing
 we have done our best to make someone happy, and we trust that you will give our pups the best home possible.
We pray that God will bless you and your new Cavalier with many years of JOY!!

A joyful heart is good medicine” (Psalm 17:22)
