Started Puppies
Started Puppies are puppies that are a little bit older that we have put training time on. Some we have chosen to stay so we can train them for people, and others are ones that haven't been picked yet. As our RVD owners say often, last pick is the best pick. ;-). These are not "left over" puppies and nothing is wrong with them - if you have been watching us and our website, you will know that our Started Puppies get reserved quickly.
We often have them in Summer because several of us have summers off from our real jobs, and we have time to give to the one on one training needed by a pup. We do not always have Started Puppies. They tend to get reserved rather quickly. All of us work on them - but, Cheri and Joell do the majority of the organizing and training, and will be the ones to communicate with you.
These puppies are popular for those that want an older puppy, rather than 8 weeks, and have more training and vaccinations on them (if appropriate). They are technically ready now, age wise, but are just starting on training beyond crate/potty. They are crate trained - and doing well going potty outside. Leash work and basic commands are being started. For more info on our training: RVD Training
These prices reflect a discount on our training days time. If one of the delivery days we have scheduled coordinate with the time you want your puppy, we can have your puppy meet partway (usually Albany/Newburgh), no charge. There are also custom driving delivery options and flight nannies that we can help coordinate. Otherwise, pickup is in Rochester at Cheri's house.
They will be kept up to date on vaccinations. Our 2 year health guarantee, RVD tote bag with goodies, leash, harness, and some toys are included (and a Snuggle Puppy toy if they don't destroy it before you get your pup). Vet records will be included as well, of course.

Half down is due upon confirmation of reserving a specific puppy. Application is required! Application
Before you apply, please have everyone in the household on board. Also, please understand that the puppies are not fully trained. You must continue training. They are still babies.
