Congratulations! How exciting! Check out our puppy names page: https://puppyintraining.com/resources/puppy-names/

I like Porter. If you haven’t already you may want to check with Louise to make sure that Porter is available.

I think the last litter that went home was “M” litter. Time to start watching the Puppy Cam!

Cool! What litter letters are going home on the 9th? Have you started thinking for names yet? I heard it’s going to be a large group of puppies going home on August 9th.

Hi Rayna,

Congratulations! What GDA group are you in? We’re in the Orange County group.

The time it takes to get a puppy varies. Sometimes they are looking for puppy raisers because they have too many puppies in the nursery while other times they have more puppy raisers then puppies available at the nursery making the wait a bit longer.

When I got my first puppy from the day I sent in my application to the day I picked up my puppy was about 4 months.

Your area leader will probably have a better idea of when puppies will be available.

I’m excited for you! Picking up and raising a GDA puppy is a very rewarding experience and also a lot of fun. In the mean time get to know your fellow puppy raisers, ask questions, and find out who else lives near by in case you need a puppy sitter.

Good luck with your new adventure!
Colby

I have completed the application and the home interview was almost exactly a month ago. I am learning patience as I am waiting for my puppy, I am so excited to meet him/her. I have not gotten a phone call yet.

Thanks for sharing this story and for doing your part in training Phyllis. It must have been really hard to part with her. I wrote a similar article recently about therapy dogs and the great work they provide for their owners.
