Come and meet the puppy before you decide
Photographs are the easiest thing in the world to fake and the hardest thing to judge a dog by. Half an hour in the same room tells you more than a month of messages — and it tells you as much about the person selling as about the puppy.
Why bother
What a visit shows you that nothing else does
You are choosing an animal that will live with you for a decade or more, from a market in which a great many sellers have never met the dog they are advertising. A visit collapses most of that uncertainty in one afternoon. You see the actual puppy, at its actual age, in the actual place it has been living.
It also lets the puppy meet you. How a nine-week-old reacts to a room full of unfamiliar people is genuinely informative — and it is the part no photograph, video or written description can stand in for.
You are under no obligation. A visit is not a commitment to buy and it does not require a payment first. If you come, meet the puppy and decide against it, that is a good outcome — you have avoided a ten-year mistake and we have avoided placing a dog in the wrong home.
On the day
Six things worth checking while you are there
These apply to any visit, anywhere. Use them on us too — a seller who minds being checked is telling you something.
-
01
Where the puppies actually live
Ask to see the space they spend their days in, not just the room you have been shown into.
You are looking for clean, warm, dry and not overcrowded. It does not need to be impressive. It needs to be real.
-
02
The mother, wherever possible
Seeing the dam tells you a great deal about size, coat and temperament, and confirms the puppy is where it is supposed to be.
If she cannot be shown, ask why, and weigh the answer. There are legitimate reasons. There are also evasive ones.
-
03
How the puppy moves
A healthy puppy at eight weeks is curious, steady on its feet and interested in you within a few minutes.
Lethargy, a persistently tucked tail or reluctance to bear weight on a leg are worth asking about before anything else.
-
04
Eyes, ears, coat and rear
Clear eyes, clean ears, skin without bald or crusted patches, and a clean rear end.
You are not performing a veterinary examination. You are checking that nothing obvious has been left untreated.
-
05
The records, in your hands
Date of birth, vaccinations given, deworming dates. Read them on the day rather than being promised them at handover.
The date of birth is the one that matters most — it is how you know the puppy is genuinely old enough to leave.
-
06
Whether you are being rushed
Notice how the conversation goes when you say you would like to think about it overnight.
Pressure at this point is the single most reliable warning sign there is, and it costs nothing to test for.
Our side
What we do when you visit
- We give you time with the puppy — on the floor, unhurried, without someone talking over you the whole while.
- We bring out the records for that specific puppy and let you read them properly.
- We answer what we do not know honestly — “I am not sure” is a real answer and you should expect to hear it occasionally.
- We ask about your home — your routine, who is there during the day, other pets, and what you can spend on grooming. Why that decides more than the breed does.
- We tell you if it is the wrong match, including when that costs us the sale. When we will not take a booking.
- We do not ask you to decide on the day. Go home, talk about it, and tell us either way.
The alternative
If you cannot travel, do a live video call
A live call is not as good as being there, but it is enormously better than photographs — and it is available to anyone with a phone.
The point of a live call is that you control it. You can ask for the camera to be turned towards something, ask to see the puppy walk, ask what is in the next room. A recorded clip cannot do any of that, which is exactly why a recorded clip is what you are usually sent.
Worth knowing. Anyone unwilling to do a live call before taking money has given you your answer. It costs them nothing and it is the cheapest check available to you. What to do before you book anything.
Arranging it
How to book a visit
Call or message, and we will fix a time
Visits are by appointment rather than drop-in, so that you get proper time with the puppy instead of arriving in the middle of something. Tell us roughly when suits you and which puppy or which size you want to see, and we will confirm the time and the exact location with you directly.
We are reachable across Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula and Zirakpur. If you are travelling from further out, say so when you call and we will make sure the trip is worth making before you set off.
FAQ
Questions about visiting
Do I have to buy if I visit?
No. A visit costs you nothing and commits you to nothing. We would far rather you came, met the puppy and decided against it than bought one from photographs and regretted it.
Can I bring my children?
Yes, and if the dog is going to live with them it is worth doing. Seeing how a puppy and a child actually behave together is useful information for both of you. Come at a time when the children are not exhausted and the visit will tell you more.
Can I bring my existing dog?
Tell us in advance and we will talk it through. Young puppies have not completed their vaccination course, so introducing an outside dog carries a real risk to them. It is usually better to arrange the introduction after the puppy comes home.
Where exactly are you?
We confirm the exact location when we fix the time, along with directions. Call or message and we will sort it out in a couple of minutes.
Can I visit if there are no puppies available right now?
There is not much point in a visit with nothing to see. Better to tell us what you are looking for, check what is currently here, and arrange the visit when there is genuinely a puppy worth your trip.
