Lancashire Puppy Breeder Urges Families to Plan Ahead for a Christmas Puppy

Douglas Hall Kennels near Burnley shares practical advice for households thinking about a new puppy this winter.

Douglas Hall Kennels, a family-run puppy breeder in Newchurch-in-Pendle, is encouraging families who are thinking about a puppy this Christmas to plan carefully before they commit. The kennels says a little preparation helps a new puppy settle and gives families the best start together.

The team’s advice centres on three simple steps:
•    Meet the puppy in person first. Seeing a puppy’s character, and asking questions about its routine and breed, helps families choose a dog that suits their home.
•    Think about timing. The festive weeks can be busy and noisy. Whenever their puppy arrives, families should plan a quiet space and a steady routine for the first few days.
•    Prepare before collection. A quiet sleeping area, the right food and an appointment with a local vet should all be arranged before the puppy comes home.

A spokesperson for Douglas Hall Kennels said: “A puppy is a wonderful addition to any family, but those first weeks matter. We always encourage people to visit, ask plenty of questions and think about how a puppy will fit into their routine, not just into the Christmas morning photo.”

At Douglas Hall Kennels, puppies are health checked at 9 weeks and receive their first vaccine, worming, flea treatment and a microchip before going to their new homes.
