YES and NO! We used to microchip every puppy born at Bullistik whether they remained here with us or were placed with a new family. However, we soon realized that the new puppy owners were not taking the necessary steps to change the microchip registration information after they purchased their puppy from Bullistik.

YES! We use AVID microchips and no puppy leaves home without being positively identified for their safety and yours. See similar questions...

A microchip is for identification purposes and can never be removed. It is a small chip that is placed underneath the skin of your puppy between the shoulder blades. Say for instance, that you lost your puppy and someone picked him/her up. Every vet office, shelter, and rescue clinic will have a scanner. Your puppy will be scanned, and the information stored in the little chip will have all of your contact information listed because you are the owner. See similar questions...

Most Irish dog breeders inject the chip between the ages of five and eight weeks. The procedure can also be done at any time after that. The same rules apply for Cats. See similar questions...

We do not take deposits for puppies at any time prior to the puppies being born. After the puppies are born we have a better idea of how many puppies will be available. We may take deposits any time after the puppies are born and up until they are 8 weeks old. We do not take deposits for more puppies that we plan to sell. Deposits are in the amount of half the total purchase price with the remaining half due at pick up. Deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE. See similar questions...

No, we will NOT ship puppies. We require all puppy buyers to pick up their puppy in person. We strongly recommend against shipping any puppies and/or adults for many reasons. See similar questions...

All puppies/litters from Woodcrest are raised in our home where they get near constant attention from both us and their Airedale Mother. Every litter is different and we adjust our methods to the needs of the litter and individual puppies. We keep the puppies and their living areas as clean as possible; their Mother helps with this too. See similar questions...

Having a microchip ID implanted is one of the safest forms of pet identification! One in three pets will get lost during their lifetime. Without ID, 90% of pets are not returned to their owners. Collars and tags are a great way to identify lost pets, but they can easily come off or be removed. Microchipping is permanent, completely unalterable and does not change or harm the appearance of the animal in any way. The procedure is safe, inexpensive, fast and virtually painless for your pet.

We get our puppies from breeders all across the United States. Some of the breeders we have been working with for up to 20 years. For our clients protection we require a one year warranty against problems associated with bad breeding and we pass the warranty along to our clients. Without this warranty we do not buy from the breeder. Much attention is brought to Pet Stores that sell puppies in that they are easily associated with "Puppy Mills". All our breeders must hold a U.S.D.A. See similar questions...

Usually not. Most dogs are at least 3 years old. But we do sometimes get dogs as young as 1 year. The only time we received puppies was after the raid on the Bergman Puppy Mill. See similar questions...
