Reservation
Policy:
Meinkismah
can not 'hold' puppies. we do accept deposits as reservations
for puppies. This offers individuals consideration for the first
available, suitable companion puppy.
Meinkismah
will return a deposit if a suitable puppy is not available within
an agreed upon time frame, or if we find extenuating circumstances
making an adoption unsuitable.
As
we have no control over the whims of Mother Nature, the acceptance
of a deposit by Meinkismah is NOT a guarantee that a puppy will
be available. Deposits are not refundable after 48 hrs, where
reservations are canceled by prospective owners.

A
few items to consider
before your search begins
- Consider
cost (puppy, vet, crate, grooming, etc.)
- Are
you prepared to make a lifetime commitment?
- Do
you have the time to spend on the puppy?
- Who
will be the primary caregiver? Once the novelty wears off, will the
dog be neglected?
- What
is your lifestyle? Pups have different energy levels, choose one suitable
to your home.
- Is
your home and family suited to a large breed or small breed?
- What
are your expectations from a pet?
- Do
you have other pets? Another pup? Never buy two puppies at the same
time.
- Do
you have a color preference?
Next,
begin researching breeders and ask these questions to yourself
- Is
at least one of the parents available for inspection?
- How
many dogs are on the premises? How do they behave? Are they groomed?
- Will
the breeder provide proof of genetic testing?
- Are
the puppies sold on non-breeding contracts? Are they CKC registered
at the cost of the breeder?
- What
guarantee does the breeder offer?
- Does
the breeder show any dogs in competitions?
- Is
the breeder knowledgeable regarding the breed standard, problems with
the breed, etc.
- Do
you feel as though you're getting a sales pitch?
- Would
you feel comfortable calling the breeder with questions or concerns
after you take the puppy home?
- Will
the breeder allow you to inspect the kennel quarters?
Ask
for help
- Ask
your selected breeder for help choosing the right puppy for you.
- The
puppy should be attentive, clean, with no signs of abnormal discharge.
- The
puppy should be friendly, not cowering or overly aggressive.
- Make
sure to get the puppy inspected by your vet as soon as you pick him/her
up.
