At Grand-Lares we are deeply committed to preserve the nature of the PWD as described by the breed standard , for these reason our dogs are an integral part of our family live and are beloved house dogs , we give them an environment where they could thrive and develop the fascinating traits that makes this breed a wonderful family companion .
Our puppies are raised in the living area of our home so they are accustomed to the hustle and bustle of family life. Grand-Lares puppies are handled and socialized from birth, with daily individual attention. They are also socialized with other dogs, and whenever possible, small children. By the time they go home, they have started their housebreaking and been in crates and on car rides. If the weather permits, the pups will also be introduced to water.
Our goal is to carefully place each pup . We make every effort to match each owner or family with the pup that best suits him or her. To do this, we require all prospective puppy owners to complete a Puppy Questionnaire describing their lifestyle, experience in dogs and expectations for this pup. We also keep careful records of each pup’s reactions and personality to assist in placement
Throughout the adoption process we will provide you with information on the success and health of the parents and relatives, photos of the sire and dam, a four generation pedigree of your pup, feeding instructions, grooming instructions , list of grooming essentials , grooming charts for both clips ; lion and retriever, history of the breed as well as training tips on how to crate train and housebreak your pup.
