When is Gotcha Day?

Q: When is puppy selection?
A: You will choose your puppy on Gotcha Day, according to your "litter pick" placement. Appointments are scheduled in order from first pick to last pick. First pick will select first, second pick will select after, and so on. Last pick will bring home the remaining pup of a gender.
Q: Where will Gotcha Day be?
A: Gotcha Day will be help right outside of our home in the puppy playground. We are located in Kerman, CA. Exact address will be provided to you via email or text prior to Gotcha Day.
Q: When should I arrive on Gotcha Day?
A: Please arrive promptly at your designated appointment time. The schedule will be posted on the website under Puppies page or the litter's page.
Q: Where should I park?
A: We will be in the puppy playground right under the tall palm tree. You may park right in front of the playground as it is a private residence.
Q: Who can I bring to Gotcha Day?
A: You may bring family members and/or friends. Please note that children should be taught proper manners on how to handle puppies and behave around them before they arrive. Also note that puppies do not have their full shots yet so please refrain from visiting a vet clinic/hospital, dog park, or any place that dogs frequent before coming to minimize the pups' exposure to pathogens such as parvo.
Q: What should I bring for the puppy on Gotcha Day?
A: Small bowl and water, a pee pad, baby wipes, poop bags, a small trash bag, toys, and old towel or blanket. Also, you can either bring a crate for the pup to travel in or a small bed. Some people choose to hold the pup on their lap instead. It is up to you. Just note that if the crate is in the back of an SUV or van without good air circulation, the puppy may get car sick and throw up. Try to have the pup where there's good AC flow to keep him/her cool. Do not feed the puppy during the car ride as he/she will likely throw up. You can feed the puppy when you get home.
Q: What will the puppy be going home with on Gotcha Day?
A: The puppy will be going home with a collar, small ziplock of current food, small blanket with mom and litter smell, and its medical record. The medical record will include proof of first vaccine, info on past deworming, info on flea & tick preventative, microchip info, and a vet letter for the litter exam.
Q: Will there be a restroom available to use on site?
A: Unfortunately, no. There will not be a restroom available to use as our downstairs bathroom is in our whelping room so please plan accordingly. Let us know if you need help finding rest stop locations.
Q: What will happen if I'm late to my appointment?
A: Each appointment time is alloted 30 mins to 1 hour, depending on your place in "pick". If for some reason you're not able to come at your appointment time, you may have to choose your puppy virtually (videos, photos, or facetime) before the next appointment time so you don't lose your place in pick. If you haven't chosen your puppy by the next appointment time, we will choose your pup for you.
Q: What if I can't make it to my appointment on Gotcha Day?
A: If you can't pick up your puppy on Gotcha Day you may reschedule to pick up your puppy at a later day (boarding fees will apply) but you will need to select your puppy virtually at your original Gotcha Day appointment. If you're unable to choose a puppy at the original appointment time, we will choose one for you. The full puppy price must be paid at your original appointment time whether you're picking up your puppy that day or later. If you do not pay the full price on Gotcha Day at your appointment time, your deposit will be forfeited.
Q: Can you take pictures and videos on Gotcha Day!
A: Yes, you can.
