Valley
American Hairless Terriers Puppies
Health Guarantee
Our dogs are healthy and sound. Puppies are given the full set of
shots and vet checked prior to leaving our home. We provide a full
pedigree and genetic background of our dogs. We prefer families
to come and meet the parents of the puppies, and visit the puppies
as they grow up. Our puppies stay here until 10 weeks old at a minimum.
It is very important for puppies to spend that time with their mother
and father, and learn the complex social interactions of dogs. We
intensely socialise our puppies as they grow up with people, children,
other dogs, strange objects, noises, and any and everything they
might encounter as they grow. The puppy's family must take over
this social work and continue the process as intensely as the puppy
grows to adulthood. Classes are highly recommended both as a bonding
tool and a social event for both the puppy and the family!
Puppy
Adoption Questionnaire
Our goal at Valley AHTs is
to selectively breed toward producing a healthy, sound, structurally-correct
puppy with exceptionally loving and loyal temperament, that we feel
is above and beyond the American Hairless Terrier Standard. We take
pride in our continued success of producing puppies for the show
ring; as well as those shown to be versatile in obedience and agility
trials, in the field, and, most importantly, as loving family companions.Just
like you and your family are, each puppy is a unique individual
too, with their own personality and characteristics. Please complete
our questionnaire to help us start to get to know each other and
learn about what you're looking for in your AHT puppy. This will
help us place the right puppy in your home. Feel free to elaborate
on your your family's interests, activities and tell us as much
as you can about the puppy you hope to adopt.
