I include most of what is in Zoe's post along with the following:
1. A list of "approved" vets in the area
2. A list of training classes in the area
3. A paper that I wrote on "socializing" a young puppy
4. A list of "approved" toys for GSDs and ones not to buy
5. A paper about keeping the puppy safe around holidays ie Christmas trees,
ornaments, fireworks etc.
6. Safety issues - never leaving a choke collar on an unattended dog; leaving a
dog in a car on a hot day etc.
7. A list of things to have when you bring the puppy home
8. An article on poisonous plants - indoor and out
9. Diet for all stages - puppy, adolescence and adult
10. Listing of good books and magazines that relate to GSDs and dogs in general
Yes, my puppy packet is very thick and it is given to the owners before they
take the puppy home. I go over it when I give it to them and then after they
have taken it home and read it, I answer any questions that they may have
either over the phone or when they pick up the puppy.
And yes, it is a lot and my buyers always tell me it is easier to adopt a child
than to get a puppy from me. :-) LOL
