Our family would like to thank you for giving one of our “Little Cherubs” a wonderful home and new life with you.  We truly feel like new friends are born with every litter!


Vaccinations:
When you pick up your puppy, he/she has already received the first shot in a series of 3
(at week 7), and you will find a shot record in your packet along with other goodies we have collected along the way.  Be sure to check the record for when the next shot will be due, for your convenience we have made a note for you on the shot record.

Pups receive their first vaccine at 7 weeks of age, and boosters are due at three-week intervals after that (10 & 13 weeks). If your pup goes home to you before vaccinations are complete, it is vitally important that you take him/her to your vet to receive the remaining boosters. Your puppy *will not* be protected (against Parvo or distemper) until he/she has received the correct amount of vaccination and appropriate booster..

Note:

Our complete FIVE YEAR health guarantee covers: health issues that are hereditary or genetic disorders in writing.  An extensive Veterinarian examination will be done to screen for genetic issues "during puppy-hood" and eyes will be checked prior to leaving "our arms to yours". Documentation will be Provided in your packet on the outcome of the examination for your Veterinarian records.

The Screening Process & Clearance includes: Anterior Crossbite, Brachygnathism, Collie Eye Anomaly, Deafness, Microphthalmia, Pannus, Patent Dectus Arteriosus, Pelger-Huet Anomay, Persistent Pupllary Membranes, Persistent Right Aortic Arch, Prognathism, Pulmonic Stenosis and Uveal Hypopigmentation.

The Screening of Hips and Eyes: We are in the long process of performing PennHip procedures and Clearing the eyes of all our breeding dogs to further protect the future of our breed.. All breeders working with Desert Willow Aussie's are required and are in the process of doing the same. We will begin posting the results as we complete this process. The estimated time-frame to complete this task is before the end of 2008..


FULLY Vaccinate ~ BEFORE taking your pup out:
I can't stress this one enough. Until your puppy is COMPLETLY vaccinated, do not take the chance of your new little one being exposed to Parvo or Distemper. This means, until fully vaccinated, your pup stays in your home, in a controlled environment. Trips to the vet are held/crated - not allowed to walk on the floor, sniff noses with other dogs, or be petted by strangers. Don't let your unprotected puppy run on the grass, stroll down the sidewalk, or play with the neighbors dog. Parvo lurks everywhere. At best, you will rack up a vet bill in the thousands in a matter of days trying to save your puppy ... At worst, your baby will suffer and die despite anything your vet can do.
Do Not Take That Chance.

Registration Papers:
Your puppy is registered through ASCA & AKC.  The papers will be mailed to you once we receive them and in many cases we are able to include them in your puppy packet.  Please know that once we get them so will you, however this does take time. You will have ONE full year to register your dog without being penalized.  

Be sure to register your puppy before 12 months of age, this will ensure access to their pedigrees through both registries, and keep the cost to register your puppy at a minimum.  Please take the time to Register your Puppy with BOTH Registries which (in most cases) include AKC & ASCA. 

You'll need to include a Picture of his/her face and complete body shot on both sides attached to your registration papers when sending them in.  We take great pride in bringing you a DOUBLE REGISTER Aussie, please continue our cause and register your Desert Willow Aussie with both registries....Our thanks in advance!


A Note from Theresa:
I've put together a list for you so that you may begin preparations for your new puppy.  Before you know it, your puppy will be home with you and you'll certainly ponder what and how she/he's been fed.  This is it!  I have recommended the Diamond Dog food line and until recently, it's all I've fed my dogs, however we are transitioning into a new fellowship with Flint River Ranch.  This is one of the BEST foods you can feed in my opinion, and as you read you'll understand why we spend so much time and investment on excellent feed for our dogs, it's because we know that we will reap what we sow!    We are now also distributors of Flint River Ranch and Life's Abundance foods. We currently use both using the Flint River Ranch ( Lamb, Millet & Rice) for their much needed mush (recipe is below) and the Life's Abundance for "NIBBLE KIBBLE". Please contact us direct if you have additional questions and you'll find the links to order "BOTH" foods below.

By the way, because of the recent Dog & Cat Food Recalls we've done our homework to research the best we can find to safely feed our dogs & Cats and to recommend to our puppy & kitten parents. This has been a long and difficult road as there are so many foods out there with all kinds of ingredients that are good, bad and indifferent in our minds. We believe that we've found what is best for our dogs and will give your dogs the best chance at a long and healthy life. The decisions made on these two brands have proven to be wonderful for everyone. No Wheat or Corn, and no imported ingredients. Neither Flint River nor Life's Abundance have been on any of the recall lists for any of their products and in the age of imports this speaks loudly! We've spread our wings to embrase both companies and have been totally satisfied.

FRRC takes in feeding the best OVEN BAKED TWICE foods they can provide!  Life's Abundance has other wonderful ingredients critical to a dogs long and healthy life. It was frightening to learn that well known "TRUSTED" grocery dog food companies have killed TRIPLE the dogs out there in their careers, yet we never hear about it because they have the HIGH POWERED lawyers and funding to sweep everything "under the rug".  With that being said, I began to realize that any food we feed is a risk, but I've truly found none other that I like better or feel safer with then Flint River Ranch & Life's Abundance  for the Price. Both ship your feed straight to your door.  The price of this feed is not at all "out of the ball park" either! We understand that there are other great feeds out there, however to best serve you and our puppies we will educate you on these two foods and help establish your puppy on the road to a long and healthy life.

If you choose not to use Flint River Ranch, please consider a NO CORN diet for your dog and also include the Missing Link and Pet's Alive Supplements in their diet.  Taking Corn & Wheat out of your dogs diet will keep your dog healthier in the long run.  The corn & Wheat in our country is loaded with Growth Hormones to mass produce it for the demand and variety of corn and Wheat based products, so they've sacrificed the quality for the quantity. We also live in the age of imports, so feeding these products that have been imported, we must realize there is no way to regulate weather it's safe for not (for dogs or humans).   Also because ot that Growth Hormone, if we (as Humans) dogs, cats, (any living thing) has a predisposition to cancer, and you feed it growth hormone, you will then feed that gene risking the growth of cancer!  Frightening when you think about it!  THE question is, how much do you love your dog?

The supplements (Missing Link & Pets Alive) will help to fill in the missing ingredients that most dog foods will not have and give your dog a wonderful coat, minimal shedding, protections for their eyes, bones and immune systems!  The investment on these two products together is under 35.00 for 6 months.  Contact me direct for more information, and I'll be more than happy to jump onto my soapbox for you!

One last thought for you, be sure to keep your dog on YOGURT daily, as it will protect your young puppy and adults from Parasites, Parvo and so many other bacteria's that lurk in places you'd never even know.  When you give your pup/dog their tablespoon of plain yogurt everyday, take your spoonful first as it's wonderful for us as well!  I do advise you to keep Yogurt in your dogs diet daily for life, they love it, and need only a tablespoon a day, they truly enjoy the time and focus when you give it to them too! Theresa

Desert Willow Puppy Mush:



This “MUSH” recipe is something that we've concocted over time, and come to believe is responsible for the healthy puppy you are holding in your hands today!  While the Puppies are still nursing and small, I feed this to their Mama to help her sustain the huge demand on her during the heavy feeding weeks (along with yogurt for extra calcium for Mom, all she wants!)  Then as the puppies begin teething, we start them on “MUSH” one meal a day to start and then two servings a day with dry Life's Abundance in between, and they stay on it until you take them home. Our desire is that you continue this strict feeding system until 12 weeks of age, then go to one serving of Mush a day and continue feeding this for life.  Adult Dogs will eat Mush everyother day for life.

If you would like to continue feeding your puppy Mush at night to begin with when you first bring your puppy home, that would be fine idea and especially comforting during the transition from our home to yours.  Feeding them the Mush mixture is wonderful and keep the Yogurt in their diets everyday for life, as it's a great diet supplement for dogs (just like humans).  It's a natural way to ward off PARVO and upper respiratory viruses, and parasites in both dogs and cats.  This is a recent AMAZING discovery, and will change our lives here at our kennel.  I've incorporated this into the diet of all our dogs and cats everyday and they love the taste and it's cured the "EYE" issues I've struggled with for the last two years in our Persian Cats!  Who would have thought that something I eat everyday would be the cure of so many things!  I'm forever thankful to Kim Tush (a puppy parent and Veterinarian) for this priceless wisdom!

You can continue feeding this to your puppy for a full year and for life if you so desire.  We recommend you continue with the Missing Link/Pets Alive Mixture (Mix these two together and keep in your freezer) for a healthier Coats & Dental care, and it can be sprinkled into your dogs food everyday, and usually 2 tsp will do.  Dogs like the taste, and it has nutrients that not only help their coat, but eyes, ears, breath, and bowel movements too.  It’s like a “Super Food” for dogs!  We believe if you sow good seed into your Aussie early on, you will reap the benefits later on in their golden years, giving them a longer healthier life (with fewer trips to the vet).  When you read the ingredients in this stuff, you are gonna wonder if you can sprinkle it on your food too (and I've actually discovered this for humans too as they do make it!)
