Name: Phone: Have you used this Vet before? I view my vet as a partner with whom to discuss care. I understand that I am my dog's voice and I will do what is best for him/her. I view my vet as the authority and will do whatever he/she suggests. At Doodle Around, we believe it is important to vaccinate dogs and puppies, but it is also important not to overvaccinate. I am open to learning about vaccines. I will give every wormer and vaccine my vet suggests at the time he/she suggests it. I will give non-core vaccines at least two weeks before/after core vaccines, if the vaccine is for something my dog is at risk for in my area. I will follow the manufacturer's recommendations for age of first vaccine, but never within 2 weeks of any core vaccine. I will titer test my dogs yearly for parvovirus and distemper to avoid giving unnecessary vaccines. We base our allocations first and foremost on personality, as we truly believe that if your dog's temperament is a match, you and your pet will be much happier. Curl, coloring, and size can change. We cannot guarantee your pick of gender or color, but we will try to accommodate your preferences if it is also a good personality match. Since we sell on a strict spay/neuter/sterilize contract, gender is less of a factor. Allocations will occur only after temperament testing, near 8 weeks of age, as more accurate testing is expected with older puppies. I understand and agree with your allocation protocol: Preferred puppy gender: Male Female No preference Preferred puppy adult size: Miniature (up to 35 pounds) Medium (up to 50 pounds) Standard (over 50 pounds) No size preference I understand that my puppy's adult size and weight may be larger or smaller than expected.
