Welcome to the Red Diamond Family
Once we receive your puppy questioneer and you are approved you will be placed on our Waiting List.
We will contact you from time to time:
- When the female is in season
- When she has successfully bred (10 to 20 days after first sign of season)
- At the time of her pregnancy test (30 days after second successful breeding date)
- When she shows signs of nesting, restlessness, no appetite, about to whelp
- When the puppies are born
- ONCE THE PUPPIES ARE BORN, YOU WILL RECEIVE THE PUPPY STORK ARRIVAL LETTER . THE ORDER THAT YOU WILL PICK YOUR PUP IS THE ORDER IN WHICH YOU WERE PLACED ON OUR WAITING LIST.
- Newborn pictures of the puppies and weekly pictures will be posted on this website .
At the time we call or email you to let you know exactly what puppies are available, it is then your responsibility to get a deposit of $200 to us as soon as possible(Within a week of their birth) in order to reserve your puppy. The $200 fee is deducted from your final payment. The initial $200.00 is NONREFUNDABLE. Most of our litters are priced at $1500.00.
Their eyes and ears are closed until about fifteen days of age. At this time, they will be moved from the whelping area to the Puppy House. At birth we will have the pups identified with color coated collars. This will allow you to keep an eye on a particular pup’s progress. . Also at four weeks of age, we will start to feed the pups wet-down solid puppy kibble. Shredded paper will then replace the bare floor of the whelping box. Up until this time, mom will clean the pups, but when we start feeding them puppy food, it is up to us to do the cleanup. As they grow and eat more at each feeding, you may notice the whelping box may not be as clean. Please excuse us as it is hard to keep up at times.When it is time for you to choose your pup we will notify you, Usually this occurs around 5 weeks of age and will be done in the order that you were added to the waiting list and according to the order in which your name appears on the Litter Record. Prior to taking your pup home, contact your veterinarian regarding his/her schedule for your pup to receive further inoculations.When you take your pup home, it is suggested that you crate train. We also encourage you to enroll in a professional training class for you and your pup.We recommend that you feed your pup a large breed puppy food, with a “meat” as the main ingredient (listed first on the packaging). Start with one cup of kibble in one bowl and water in another per feeding. Pour water over kibble until you are sure the pup is drinking water freely from the water bowl. Allow twenty minutes to consume. If the pup is done in less time, increase the amount. If the pup is not finished in the allotted time, decrease the amount. DO NOT LEAVE FOOD FOR THE PUP TO EAT AT LEISURE. Give two feedings per day, one in the morning and one at dinner time. As the pup matures, increase to double the amount you give the pup during its most active time period (if crated during the day, do not increase the morning feeding). Do not leave food or water in the crate. At four (males) to five (females) months of age, CHANGE THE FORMULA TO LARGE BREED ADULT. Large and giant breed dogs are susceptible to Osteochondritis (underdevelopment of the cartilage in the joints, i.e., the shoulder and knees). Their bones grow at a rapid pace and the cartilage cannot keep up.
We wish you years of enjoyment with your new pup and hope that you will keep in touch.
