one go hello James have loved my pups
today we are gonna do a video on how you
find families who want your puppies so
well the first thing is I don't want you
to have to look up my ugly face like
most of my videos I thought you know if
you have a lot more fun if we actually
show a puppy or puppies as part of
videos so you know in an unashamed plug
foot what we do this is actually a
little girl this is Paris isn't it look
this is this is Rome
Rome is a Rome is for offered up for
adoption so you can go to our website
www.levitt.com l.o.v.e my p ups.com not
bad pass calm and by the way all of my
puppies all come from our star dogs and
so that's how the else that you can go
look at if you have a Frenchie and
you're interested in finding a mate for
your Frenchie then we have a lot of
studs that are all proven all available
for stud service so this guy here is a
product of a zoo and Gianni this is a
blue that carries chocolate with full
ten points carries a coffee it's blue
cow chocolate in the kit list actually
this guy cares a copy of cream - no
brindle anyway so let's get back to how
do you find somebody who might want this
beautiful little doggie well the answer
is lots and lots of pictures to get a
few that you're actually going to use
it's difficult to take pictures of dogs
because they're always running around
they've got their mouths open their
tongues out they never the picture that
you take is never the picture that you
want to show so you'll have to take lots
of pictures to get those really good
pictures that you want to show off your
doggies in contrast taking your videos
we're doing now is a superb way of
showing off your dogs
so we've got some puppies down here
we're just gonna let these guys run
around for a second we'll just we'll
just see if they'll follow us around
then there's one okay
like so this is the kind of setting that
I like look these guys they are home
raised puppies and I think it's
important that you show that they are
not in cages they're not brought up in
kennels
they are fun-loving little little
puppies and I think that a video shows
this you can talk through the whole
video you can see the puppies moving
through the whole video and it is free
to put these things on YouTube you can
take videos put on YouTube you then have
a link that you can send your customers
that I have to download a huge video you
don't have to spend much time getting it
done and YouTube is also a great place
but people actually see your puppies so
we need a youtube video put your link in
there put your name in there put your
address in there talk about your puppies
as they're running around talk about the
parents talk about the invite do a scan
around this whole place it is just 360
otters on honesty so you can see here
that we have just a beautiful setting
and our puppies are part of our family
we care about where our puppies go and
hopefully you do too and that you
shouldn't see there's some even some
horses down there that you should talk
about the fact that you love animals and
that you like raising puppies in a
family environment these are all things
that help people know who you are and
what you do now if you're raising dogs
in a kennel they're in cages hey that's
a whole different deal we don't do that
I never show my my puppies in cages
because the only time they ever go in if
we've got a playpen scan around of this
wait for a second here there's a playpen
out here and so the only time up and
they get Sun outside what we're doing
other things and I can make sure they're
not there in a safe environment that's
the only time so don't I recommend that
you don't clean pieces of puzzles there
in cages if you're if you're a camel
operation then I probably not talking to
you I'm talking to more my customers and
people who basically have puppies in
their home all right so how should you
register how should you sell these
puppies or you have to decide who is
your target audience
are you selling your puppies to people
who are going to have these as pets in
their home or are some of these puppies
going to go to people who are gonna have
puppies themselves if that's the case
you can control this process through AKC
registration so all of my dogs were in
case you registered the the parents are
AKC registered the puppies get a seek
AKC registration and I have the ability
to fill a box out on the AKC
registration that decides whether they
are limited registration which means
that you cannot get registration for
puppies that they might produce or
whether they have full rights it doesn't
mean that you can stop somebody from
breeding your dogs they can you can just
control what they get AKC registration
write this in the contract decide what
you're doing you may price it
differently if they're gonna be a KC
full rights versus limited rights that's
to you to decide write a contract up
explain exactly what happens in the
contract it doesn't have to be just
these rickety long contracts they want
to know everything about you is kind of
ridiculous you just want to spell out
what the dog is what its registration is
whether or not it has full or limited
rights and then the important thing
about a contract is what happens if
there's a problem so the contract should
never be used everything should go
really smoothly but if it is and there's
an issue you'll want to spell it out in
the contract who is going to do what in
the event that something is not right
okay it's very important shouldn't
hardly ever need it but if you do need
it that's what contracts are about so
how do we how do we go about selling
puppies where do we put them up so
people can see them well Craigslist is a
great source it's free it's local it's
probably people within 150 miles I don't
use Craigslist myself but a lot of
people do successfully social media it's
free stuff on Facebook there's
Facebook's of Oakland
it's French's of Oklahoma French's of
Texas there's lots of Facebook groups
that basically you can join and show
your puppies and it's free there are
websites like puppy find we use puppy
fine it's $20 a month there are tons of
dogs on puppy fine it's hard to get pure
to stand out in the crowd but puppy fine
not bad
have a website you can direct people to
your website and you have complete
control over all of the videos and
pictures that you show so I really like
a website to do a website requires that
you have a website address that's going
to cost you like GoDaddy office it for I
think like ten dollars a year you're
gonna have to have somebody host your
website that's gonna cost you you know
ten to thirty dollars a month then
somebody's gonna have to build your
website we use WordPress it's a great
product if you use it commercial like we
do I think it's something you're $10 a
month if you use it just as a kind of a
hobby thing it's gonna be free but
WordPress you're gonna have to learn
about it it's one of the harder parts
about the whole process but I highly
recommend a website at unity much of
this okay so next thing is scams people
who are buying dogs from you or worried
that you're gonna scam them and people
get scammed on a regular basis they're
worried that you are going to sell them
a puppy that doesn't physically exist
how do you avoid this how do you make
your customers happy and comfortable the
answer is Facebook FaceTime excuse me if
you've got a customer whose interest and
they're worried about do you exist say
hey let's FaceTime these puppies you
can't cheat on FaceTime so I highly
recommend that you offer that to your
customers you have the ability to
FaceTime so people can see that these
puppies move to exist at the same time
you need to be careful look people you
put things on Craigslist and somebody
shows up they stick a gun in your face
and steal your puppies these things
really do happen so how do you protect
yourself on Craigslist I recommend that
you you meet these people at a place
that is safe the police station that's a
great place say hey I'll meet you the
police station and what we'll start from
there and I'll bring the puppies with me
somebody's gonna scare me you is
probably just not even gonna show up so
I highly recommend it if you're gonna
meet somebody you meet somebody in a
place where it's not just you and you
feel safe and they can feel safe one of
the things that will happen is is that
people will say they're gonna meet you
they never show up so be prepared don't
go travel
150 miles to meet somebody with a puppy
for them never to show up if you're
gonna do that
I always require deposit before I either
get to that point they either need to
come meet me they'll come through what
they're getting put a deposit down or
I'm not gonna drive you know an hour
away to meet them because I've worried
that they're not even gonna show up okay
so what else do we need to cover yeah I
think I've covered most of the bases so
let me take let me take these puppies
here real quick and we're just going to
do another Bastian's trying to sell a
puppy here so we'll show you how we did
this so this here this is this is London
is that litter of three so this is a
Lila excuse me this is a blue that
carries chocolates with full ten points
because he's a pied you don't see the
tan points as well as you would with the
other dogs but you can see he's got his
markings on his face and a little bit
above his eyes and because his pie
doesn't show up in his forelegs but his
butt has got kind of a little bit of a
brownie tinge to it okay doesn't like
that alright so that that is London he
is eight weeks old and he can leave here
in two weeks he is coming to he's gonna
get his next shot in a week and he's
gonna get wound against there okay let's
have these other two guys so this is
this is Paris Paris is a little girl
Paris is spoken for and you can see her
ten points really shocked because she's
not applied and then there's one more on
the litter which is Rome and Rome's
another little boy looks like your
sister another system so there they are
and if you want to see more information

so again YouTube videos the best thing
you can possibly do if you're not doing
YouTube videos you should be because
you'll see puppies running around you
could talk through the whole process you
can explain what your what your whole
passion is for the breed what you do how
long you been doing it for YouTube
videos wonderful
best of luck if we can help you in any
way then give us a holler bye bye
all right
again
