Check List
Please find below link to a shopping list you may find useful.
Please visit our puppy family access area on our website for our Puppy guide and other helpful information
-
Register with a vet - please ensure you choose a vet with a compatible vaccine to Nobivac, if you choose to give Lepto in order to comply with our health warranty please do not give the first dose before 10 weeks, we do not cover Lepto reactions in our health warranty and therefore 28 days after giving lepto is excluded from our health warranty. Puppy will have had it's first DHP Nobivac vaccine (unless you have requested us not to) This is the core vaccine. No Lepto vaccine would have been given by us (This is not part of the core vaccine but a completely separate one like Kennel cough) . You will receive a copy of the vaccination card when you collect your puppy which will give you the date of their first vaccine, this would have been given before they were 8 weeks old. 2nd vaccine can only be administered after they are 10 weeks old. Book puppy in for their vet check.
-
Order raw food from Natural Instinct (once the certificate has been given to you). Certificate for Natural Instinct will be issued on or before puppy pick day. They are very quick with their delivery and it's normally within 2-3 days.
-
Set up your crate. Ideally by your bed
-
Make sure you remove a pack of raw food the night before puppy arrives home. Please watch the food video in the private puppy access area on my website, this will help you and answer some of your questions.
-
Puppy can have their 2nd vaccine after they are 10 weeks old and not before, please do not worm puppies on the same day as their vaccine as this can overwhelm them.
-
Puppies will continue to need to be wormed at 8 & 12 weeks and then monthly until they are 6 months old, you can purchase Drontal or Panacur online or your vet can prescribe a medication, recommended wormers are listed in the puppy access area on our website.
-
We recommend Advocate or Prinovox for flea's as this also covers lungworm and they are more likely when young to lick a snail. Once they are 6 months old they can move to a Seresto collar which covers for fleas and ticks. Please do not give Nextguard, Simparica or Bravecto or other ingestible combined flea and worming treatment, this medication comes with a high reaction rate and we have personally experienced this.
Feeding - Your puppy will be weaned onto natural instinct. Please start them on natural instinct, if you wish to transition please do so slowly, I do not recommend changing the food but I do understand that not everyone likes feeding raw, I recommend Gentle which is a cold pressed excellent rated food. If you email Gentle at info@gentledogfood.co.uk and mention my name they will provide you with a pack at a discounted rate. Gentle is an excellent rated food and what I feed my adult dogs alongside raw.
Feeding amounts - The Natural Instinct calculator is different to some other brands and they do not differentiate between an under 4 month puppy but calculate based on under 6 months, this makes their calculations very stingy in my opinion, if feeding Natural instinct I would feed 70-90kg 3 times a day and ensure that you increase, by the time they are 4 months old they should be eating at least 125-150kg 3 times a day.
Even if your puppy doesn’t finish their meal, this does not matter as long as they have 2 poo’s a day, they are eating enough. Please also remember they are eating lots of training treats which can affect their appetite.
We have 3 girls & 4 boys

Puppy Pick Saturday 3rd January 2026
We will confirm our address the week of puppy viewings for reference we live just outside Camberley, Surrey.
09.00am - Wimpenny family
10.00am - Reynoldson family
11.00am - Muir family / Loveless family
12.00am - Katarzyna family / Long family
Please bring with you an item of clothing or soft toy with the scent of the main carer or a combination of family members that you are happy to not receive back.
We will introduce these scents to the litter the week before going home, this will introduce the puppies to extra scents which is a great learning experience and hopefully ease the transition. Your home smells different and by introducing new scents to the puppies it will help form a positive experience.
Puppy selection procedure
Dear all,
We are looking forward to meeting you for puppy selection, to keep our puppies safe and for the day to run as smoothly as possible we do have some procedures that need to be followed.
Please be punctual and keep to the timings, puppy selection is done in list order so we cannot extend your puppy viewing time, if you are late then unfortunately this will mean you will have less time choosing. Each appointment will be 1 hour. To reduce the time, we normally have puppy selections for boys and girls running concurrently. They are very young puppies, so we try to allow them time to rest in between viewings as much as possible, so the next family choosing gets to see the puppies at their best.
As a precaution we limit the puppy selection visit to immediate family and/or 6 people. This is due to the space available. We can also offer facetime selections if this is what you would prefer. Please let me know so I can book this in, this will still need to be done in reserve list order.
When you arrive, we will take you to our purpose built outside garden room. Please use the hand sanitiser provided. Please remove your outside jackets / coats before picking up the puppies. In good weather we will use the outside puppy pen. The puppy pen will be accessible for you to pick up and play with the puppies. Only adults are allowed to pick up any puppies, children must be seated if they wish hold a puppy and not walk around as we do not want the risk of stepping on a puppy.
I will be there to answer your questions and provide help and advice. I will give you your raw food certificate to order your raw food, please create an account online with Natural Instinct before you call them to redeem the certificate.
Puppy collections are normally done between 10am to 11am on the morning of your collection. This allows me enough time to feed the puppy their breakfast, for them to toilet and for you to arrive home before their lunch is due.
Best wishes
Judy

Some common FAQ's
We understand that this is the first time you have met me and whilst I have an excellent reputation, have been breeding a very long time and have plenty of history that can be re-searched easily there are some common questions that must be on a list somewhere as families tend to ask the same questions, so here are the answers to those common questions. For questions regarding care of the puppy please read the puppy guide available in the puppy access area.
How long have you been breeding?
I have been breeding over ten years.
How many adult dogs do you have in your home?
I have 3 adult dogs that live with me on a permanent basis.
How many litters do you breed?
I breed between 7 and 9 litters a year, I am a professional breeder and this is my only business.
How many dogs do you own?
This is a difficult question as I may have young dogs that have not been health tested yet, retired dogs that have not been spayed yet and of course my own dogs and puppies that I have here. However, all my current active breeding dogs are on my website.
How Many litters has mum had?
The UK legal limit is 6, which is far too many and in our option unethical. All our girls have 1-3 litters, our 5 star licence means that we adhere to higher welfare standards, the maximum limit we can have is 4 litters per female to meet the criteria.
Can I see the stud dog?
No, our stud dogs or the stud dog used will not be here at puppy viewings.
What is your socialisation programme?
We start socialising the puppies from birth, they are handled daily, stroked and weighed. From 3 weeks old when their eyes are open and they are up on their feet we start playing them various sounds and this volume is increased until they leave at 8 weeks old. They have their paws stroked, their nails clipped, they get used to the hoover, washing machine, tv. They meet a variety of people and go out in the car and the dog pushchair. They are introduced to toys and natural chews like rabbit ears. They are introduced to different textures to walk on and different height obstacles. We are experienced breeders and take our job seriously.
Can I collect my puppy later?
The short answer is no, we do not believe it is in the best interest of our puppies to have two first nights, one where all their siblings have left and one with you. You will have 7 weeks notice of their going home date and we believe this is plenty of time for you to make the necessary arrangements to collect your puppy on time.
Temperament Testing
Temperament Testing Overview
Temperament testing has now been completed for this litter. Overall, the puppies were very consistent in their results. All puppies displayed playful, interactive behaviour suitable for family life, with some puppies naturally being quieter or more outgoing than others.
All puppies are considered suitable for an average family home. All puppies are suitable to live with other dogs.
Temperament Rating Guide
The temperament rating is intended as a general guide to help match puppies with the most suitable home environment.
3 – The most confident puppies. Playful, interactive and people-focused. Best suited to busy family homes, including families with children.
4 – Middle-of-the-road puppies. Playful and interactive with a balanced temperament. Suitable for most family homes.
5 – Quieter puppies. More reserved in nature and best suited to calmer households. Not suitable for families with young children.
Important Developmental Information
There is no such thing as a “perfect” puppy, nor a perfect match between puppy and owner. Temperament testing provides a snapshot of natural tendencies at this stage of development, not a prediction of the finished adult dog.
The first year of a puppy’s life plays a significant role in brain development, with the greatest influence occurring before sixteen weeks of age. Until now, each puppy’s experiences have largely been shaped by the litter environment. From this point onwards, it is the responsibility of the new owner to continue guiding and developing their puppy into the dog they wish them to become.
The temperament profiles provided below reflect each puppy’s natural traits at the time of testing and are intended to support owners in shaping appropriate training and socialisation plans.
Training & Focus Guidance
People-focused puppies
These puppies often enjoy greeting people enthusiastically. Early training should focus on teaching polite greeting behaviours and helping the puppy learn when to give attention to their owner rather than those around them.
More assertive puppies
These puppies benefit from learning appropriate canine manners early. Time spent with well-socialised, puppy-savvy adult dogs can help reinforce polite dog-to-dog interactions.
Environment-focused puppies
These puppies benefit from early exposure to a variety of environments. Allowing time to observe and acclimate to new places helps them feel comfortable before focusing on training or interaction. Arriving early to puppy classes can be particularly beneficial for these puppies.
Testing Information
Temperament testing is carried out as close to seven weeks of age as possible. Puppies are observed across a range of situations, including stranger approach, reaction to sound, toy play, and gentle handling.

It is important to note that temperament testing is a snap shot of their temperaments at the time of the test. Whilst we do know our puppies they are so very young and correct socialisation and ongoing training is so very important to ensure your Ripley's puppy continues to thrive in their environment. Training and a loving environment and continued exposure to as many new experiences before they are 16 weeks old will contribute significantly to their happiness and ongoing temperament.
