Frequently Asked Questions

I've never purchased a puppy online before...what is the process?

The first step is to select your puppy, then call the me...Rebecca...at  (318) 251-9052 or (318) 245-2914.  We need t o TALK before you purchase a puppy to make sure it is a right fit for you.  The next step would be  to either pay for the puppy in full, or pay a deposit if this is an option.  Once the transaction has taken place, then we will either arrange a day for pick up...or book an airline flight if being shipped. 

What forms of payment do you accept?

I accept all major credit cards by phone or on the website, paypal, or moneygram/western union.  Oh...and we can't forget cash!  That always works!  No checks or money orders PLEASE!

Is the puppy deposit refundable if I change my mind?

No!  A deposit is a commitment... and I will be turning away other potential new families for your puppy after you place your deposit.  Please get all of your ducks in a row BEFORE you place a deposit...check with your husband, mother, landlord, bank...whatever you need to do before hand because you will not get your deposit back. 

How do I know you are not a scammer?

Excellent question... and very smart to ask.  There are many scammers out there.  Here are some ways you can check me out... 1. Call my grooming shop.  I have been in business for over 15 years, and have employees who can validate that I indeed do exist, and most times can text you a picture of the puppy you are calling about.  2.  Call my vet...Dr. Marion Sewell 318-255-6927  3.  Check me out on facebook... Rebecca Bice Huff in Ruston Louisiana...many of my past customers are my friends on facebook

How does shipping a puppy work?

Very simple...I do it all for you.  The shipping charge that you pay covers all costs which include the airline ticket, travel crate, USDA veterinary paperwork, and a small bag of food.  Once I receive a deposit, then I will need the name of the person who will be picking up the puppy at the airport, their address, and two phone numbers.  I will also need to know which 2 major airports are closest to you.  At that point, I will book a flight for you and will do my best to accommodate both of our schedules.  This is a one day shipment in almost all cases.  I ship Continental Airlines most of the time, but can also use Delta if necessary.  I will email you an itenerary, and you TAKE YOUR PICTURE ID at the appropriate time and pick up your puppy!

Do the puppies stress out during shipping? The idea of this freaks me out!

I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND!  The first time I shipped a puppy I was a nervous wreck!  But I have been doing it for several years now and have never had a puppy arrive "unreasonably" stressed.  I take great precautions before my pups ship out, making sure they eat a good breakfast ,and have a good potty and some exercise before they go...so hopefully they get a good nap on the plane!  Continental is climate controlled and pressurized on their "pet safe" planes.

Do you offer a guarantee?

Yes! You can find a link to the form on our Puppy Guarantee page. You will need to print this out and fill out your name, address, and phone number and sign.  Then either scan and email back to me.  I must receive this before your puppy is shipped, or I cannot send him/her out.  I will, in turn sign my portion, and send you a copy with your puppy.

Are your puppies registered?

The only puppies that I sell that are not registered  are my mixed breed puppies ex: havachon, morkie, doxipoo, etc..  These "designer" puppies are not registerable since they are not a pure breed.  All of the rest of my puppies are registered.  Usually the paperwork will accompany your puppy, but in some instances may have to be mailed to you after your puppy is shipped.  Once I apply for puppy papers, it is out of my hands as to how long the registry takes to return them to me, but typically it is before, or not long after you receive your puppy.

How do you raise your puppies?

I have a 5 acre piece of property at my home where I live with my 14 year old son.  All of my adult dogs are healthy, socialized, groomed regularly, kept wormed and vaccinated and with flea/tick prevention.  It is lot of work!  At 4 weeks of age, the puppies are introduced to the crate, and the grass for potty training purposes. 

At 5 weeks, we start the weaning process...keeping mama away from the pups during periods of time so the pups get used to being without her and also so they eat more food and nurse less.  I take mama and pups down to my grooming shop for this process...so the puppies get used to LOTS of different noises, people, other puppies, and are worked with on grooming and bathing.  This process has worked SO WELL for my dogs and puppies, so they don't stress very hard and are usually VERY STRONG  and settled by the end of weaning. 

Usually between 6-7 weeks, the puppies are fully weaned and ready to go!  I don't let my puppies leave before 7 weeks when they get a vaccination, and they cannnot fly on an airplane until they are 8 weeks old, and weigh at least 2 # minimum

Is this puppy already housetrained?

No...sorry!  At 8 weeks of age their bladders are just too small and I haven't had enough time away from mama to accomplish.  You should be prepared to spend up to a year to get a puppy fully housetrained.

What kind of food is my puppy eating?  Where can I purchase it?

All of my adult dogs and puppies are currently being Life's Abundance Dry Dog Food...which is formulated for both puppies and adult dogs.  You can order this food online at

www.beboschoice.com

and it will arrive on your doorstep in about 2 days FRESH from the manufacturer.  If you keep your puppy on this food and do not switch...not only can you set it up to be sent automatically on autoship, but you will get it at our wholesale price! 

Also the training treats are safe for your puppy as well.  The other treats sold by Life's abundance are FANTASTIC and my dogs even love the low fat ones... but wait until your puppy is at least 12 weeks old before ordering those.  The TRAINING TREATS at

www.beboschoice.com

are safe for your puppy's sensitive digestive system NOW!

Will you send me some current pictures of the puppy?

I keep my puppy pictures current on the site.  It takes a tremendous amount of time to take puppy pictures...sometimes it takes 200-300 pictures to get one or two good ones of each puppy.  I cannot take the time away from caring for my adult dogs and puppies to satisfy every person who wants more pictures... which is usually several people every day.  Please be understanding of this!  I will be glad to forward you any pictures I may have of the puppy you are interested in that are already taken. 

Can you send me pictures of the puppy's parents?

I do not have pictures of all of my adult dogs, but if I have them, I will be glad to!

Any other questions not covered here...please make me a list and email to bebospuppies@gmail.com and I will be glad to answer them for you!
