From our experience over the years we’ve decided that it would be beneficial to explain how puppies arrive on planet earth as many people are not completely clear on this and think they can (or we can) “order” a puppy somehow.
Female dogs come in “heat” usually twice a year. Heat is their short time frame when dogs can get pregnant. This is not always exactly the case. Sometimes it can be only once a year and the timing is also only an estimate. There is usually few days during each heat cycle when the male and female dogs can or will breed. This is also not a for sure thing. Sometimes the male will refuse to breed the female or vice versa. Sometimes it happens that the dogs bred successfully but for whatever reason the female did not get pregnant.
On top of that no-one can ever know how many puppies the momma doggie will have and on top of that no-one can predict how many of those puppies will survive and or will be healthy, and on top of that no-one can predict how many males and females of what colour will be born. Only mother nature can.
We have lifelong experience with breeding and training dogs but still can only use our best estimates based on our experiences in the past.
That is why when we tell our clients that they could expect their puppy in the fall, it is only our best educated guess. We can not “order” a large black and white male puppy to arrive on July 23rd for example, like many people are used to with material things online nowadays...
