What To Expect From Us

Buyers can make deposits once the litter has been confirmed by my veterinarian and no later than 2 weeks after their birthdate. 

Puppies will be raised with great care and concern for their future.

I will post pictures and videos on my facebook page at least weekly, if not daily, of the litter's progress.

Puppies' temperaments and structure will be evaluated between 8 and 9 weeks. This is when puppy placements and selections are made. We cannot guarantee color or gender but do our best to match buyers with their preferences. Ultimately, we place based on test results of the APET Temperament test.

Puppies remain with their litter for a minimum of 9 weeks.

Puppies depart usually between 10 and 12 weeks old.


I do not ship puppies at this time. Buyers are expected to travel to our home. Schedule allowing, arrangements can be made to deliver or meet buyers at another location for an additional fee.
Puppy Rearing

Home Raised.
Our puppies are raised indoors; they are handled and socialized since birth. We perform Early Neurological Stimulation and Early Scent Introduction.

Quality Rearing. We strive to offer the best puppy rearing we can. We raise puppies with the Puppy Culture program and taken AviDog courses, paired with my two decades of experience as a professional dog trainer, your puppy is getting the best start!

Lifetime Commitment & Support.
We will take back any of the puppies we produce at any time for any reason. We desire to stay in touch with our puppy families, offering lifetime support.

Matching Process. We make every effort to match families with the best puppy for them. We match the puppy's temperament to the buyer's lifestyle and expectations.

What We Expect From Our Buyers

Here at Ghibli we do have certain expectations of our buyers. All buyers have to sign a contract. In that contract some of our expectations include:

  • Owners will take their puppy to training classes.
  • Owners will feed a healthy diet.
  • Owners will provide adequate veterinary care.
  • Strongly recommend our buyers to follow a Dr. Jean Dodd's vaccine schedule.
  • Owners will remain in contact with us and become part of the Ghibli Poodle family.
  • Owners will report any behavioral or medical concerns promptly so we continue to make the best breeding decisions possible with the dogs in our program and support you as needed.

STEPS TO GETTING A GHIBLI PUPPY

1.Email to Request an Application

Introduce yourself by emailing me at tashagrieser@gmail.com or messaging my business facebook page, Ghibli Poodles, and ask for an application. Return it to start a dialogue. Please, for ease of finding your email and application in my email, include in the subject line "Ghibli Puppy" or "Interested in Puppy" or "Ghibli Puppy Application". Once you have your application submitted, I will review it, answer any questions you have, and then I hold onto applications until you let me know that you are interested in an planned litter. I take Names for the Waist list for an announced litter from any approved applicants until the Due Date. Once puppies are born, the Wait List is put in order by application date, so I encourage early application! 

2. Make a Deposit

Once your application is approved and the litter is born, you may make a deposit and sign a deposit contract. Please understand that Deposits are a commitment to my breeding program so please only make one if you are confident you will be purchasing from me, not considering any other litter, or on any other wait lists. Deposits are transferable to next available litter if you decide to wait on a puppy out of another litter. Deposits are NOT required. You have the option to pay in full at pick up or wait until after temperament evaluated and picks are made to make a deposit. Puppies must be paid for in cash (preferred) or cashiers check, or I can accept Venmo for those traveling by air or long distances. 

3. Prepare and Wait

Enjoy watching the litter grow while you prepare for your puppy. I try to post videos, pictures, and updates frequently as the litter grows. This is the time to read and research all about bringing a puppy home, positive reinforcement training, and preparing your house by making sure there are no toxic plants in or around your home, puppy proofing the house, buying a crate and supplies, finding a veterinarian, groomer, and trainer to work with, etc. In your puppy's go home bag, I provide a collar, a Poodle comb, a Snoop feeding toy, a soft toy, poo bags, a blankie, and a go home chew for the car ride. I also send A gallon zip lock bag of Purina Pro Plan Lamb and Rice, Alfalfa pellets, and probiotics. 

4. Pick your puppy!

APET Temperament Testing will be done at 8 weeks of age.  Structural evaluations will be done around 8 weeks old. Once both evaluations are complete, I will choose my keeper show puppy. Once I know which puppies are available I will start contacting Deposit holders by date of application to share information on the temperament testing and which puppy(ies) I feel would best fit your family's lifestyle. I do my best to match families to their preferred sex and color. Each deposit holder will get 24 hours to make a choice before moving on to the next deposit holder.

5. Picking up your puppy.

I prefer puppies picked up at my home. In some circumstances, I may be able to meet up or deliver. This is considered case by case. At this time, I will not ship a puppy but do allow a trusted friend or relative to pick up the puppy for you. At pick up, you will sign my contract (available for review upon request), we will answer any questions you have, and you can meet the dam (and in some cases the sire) to your puppy, too. Please plan to travel with your puppy in a crate, especially if its a long car ride. Your puppy will have been socialized to at least a few short car rides, but I cannot guarantee your puppy will not get car sick so bring some clean up supplies. Please bring a leash (puppies get sent home with a collar) and plan ahead for puppy safe stops for your puppy to eliminate. Please do not take your puppy to any dog parks or areas frequented by other dogs on your car ride home. I send home Alfalfa pellets for a litter box if you want to bring one for the trip for guaranteed safe potty opportunities for puppy. 

6. Enjoy your Puppy!

Hopefully you have already prepared your home so that there is nothing left to do but have a quiet, bonding weekend with your puppy. Be mindful not to overwhelm your new puppy with too much activity or visitors its first few days home. You can begin training your puppy at home immediately.  Prior to bed time its first night home, make your puppy familiar and aware of his sleeping area. Sprinkle treats in the kennel and leave the door open for your puppy to explore. You may want to consider putting puppy in a crate near where you sleep. Other things  to help your puppy adjust is covering the crate, playing soft music or white noise, and providing something to chew on. Be sure to exercise and potty puppy before placing it in the crate for the night. Expect to wake for potty breaks in the night for a little while.  Contact me for any support or with any questions you have. Please have your puppy seen by the vet soon after its arrival home and if you haven't already, sign up for a training class. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and the quality rearing here at my home can only take a puppy so far - it is your job to finish what I started!


Grooming Supplies

  • 1. MUST HAVE - Slicker Brush
  • 2. MUST HAVE - Metal Comb - 7.5 + inches for longer coats  (one is provided in your Go Home Bag! :D)
  • 3. HIGHLY RECOMMEND - Nail Dremel (no risk of cutting the quick!)
  • 4. Ear Powder - pluck ear canal gently each week to prevent irritation and ear infections
  • 5. Zymox Ear Solution (use after gently plucking if irritated/bothered)
  • 6. Epiotic Ear Cleaner - I recommend cleaning ears weekly and/or after swimming
  • 7. Shampoo of your Choice - I use mostly Chris Christensen

  • 11. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Force Dryer - Well worth the investment, Flying Pig is affordable and durable
  • 12. Grooming Table and Grooming Arm 

Toys

Enrichment is a great way to tire your puppy's brain on those rainy days where you can't get outside to play.  Toy shopping is one of the most fun parts about preparing for a new puppy and I recommend you shop liberally! I like to provide my dog with a new toy each day of the week and keep many stuffed and frozen in the freezer for daily use and emergencies. 
  • Puzzle Toys
  • Snuffle or Sniffy Mats
  • Busy Buddy, Kong Brand, West Paw, Outward Houd just a few brand names of great toys that can be filled with their kibble or other special treats.
  • Licki Mat  - use for bathtime, use a crate attaching lick mat for crate training

Puppy Chews 

 

Puppies NEED to chew and they chew a lot - make sure they have a variety of approved and appropriate items. Although chew deterrent may become part of your puppy management plan, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. 

  • a) Dried Trachea - plain or stuffed/frozen
  • b) Stuffed Kong
  • c) Dried Tendons
  • d) Bully sticks
  • e) Nylabone brand chews
  • Pigs Ears
Please do not give rawhides - if swallowed in large chunks, these often cause intestinal obstructions.

Marrow bones can cause chipped or broken teeth.

Never feed cooked bones. 

Generic Supplies

Nature's Miracle Spray - puppies will have accidents, make sure you  clean up well with an enzyme cleaner.

Be a Responsible Dog Owner and Don't Forget the Poop Bags. Always pick up after your dog in public, but its good practice to pick up your dog in your own yard routinely, too. 

The right leash and collar!

 I recommend a 6 foot leash for walking and training, proportional to the size of the puppy. Chain leashes are heavy and can be aversive to puppies. Please use Flexi or Retractable leads responsibly, never at the groomer or the veterinarians office. 

A regular buckle collar or a martingale collar. Choke chains are not appropriate for puppies. 


Training Resources 

Although I am a professional dog trainer always willing to give advice and support to my puppy buyers, I am an ethical dog trainer, and advice over the phone or email without proper in person consultation is not adaquate for all training issues. I highly recommend all  my puppy buyers prioritize training and identifying LOCAL resources to help them in person.
