About "KENNEL VISITS" Per our Veterinarian's advice, we do not encourage random kennel visits which raises the Parvo risks involved to our Pending Litters and young puppies. Families who want a healthy, Parvo-free puppy, understand this and do not mind the wait. We are not a Retail Store. We are a Hobby Kennel. Alzimm puppies are never placed in a new home, Sight unseen. Sires, Dames are Always shown when you pick up your puppy. There are no " Surprises" this way. Alzimm is proud to be a 100% Parvo and Cancer-Free kennel
We have realized, over the years that what is asked for in our contracts is the best possible chance for your puppy's good start and hopefully living longer.

Renney was born here from 2 excellent breeding dogs who to this day, have no health issues.
He is shown to the right being held by my grand daughter just before going home, happy and healthy.
He left here to go home at 12 weeks of age, having had 3 Licensed veterinarian exams, proper shots and being in good health.
4 weeks later, I received a phone call that Renney was in an emergency hospital showing possible signs of liver issues.
On talking with his owner, I was told he had been being fed 1/2 cup of food 2 times per day since she took him home. That was only 1 cup per day total !!!
(FYI: Our puppies here eat an average of 3-4 cups a day, in 3 feedings at that age and weight) I was also told he had been vomiting fluid which is a huge indicator of being severely underfed !
I became quite upset and told the owner that he was being starved and that the fluid was stomach bile from being over hungry. On top of that, I saw upon receipt of his medical records the following:
1) No diagnoses was made ( he had a SUSPECTED Liver issue)
2) He had been given a Rabies vaccine 10 days prior to the phone call by her veterinarian, which should have Never been done. It appears that he had Vaccinosis from the shot and from being underfed which can damage the liver permanently and mimic a Liver Shunt. This was confirmed by our Licensed veterinarian.
3) Per his veterinarian records provided to me, Renney had only gained 4 ounces in the 4 weeks she had him. This is totally unacceptable and I should have been notified there was a potential problem from the moment she saw one.
As a remedy, I asked for the puppy to be returned so I and my veterinarian could help him and watch how he went from there. I also offered her puppy money back or any puppy of her choice, even a higher priced one and tried to work with her on an amicable solution. All to NO Avail !!!
She demanded her money back, keep the puppy and for me to pay all vet bills. Now remember, she NEVER contacted me with any complaints of any issues until 4 weeks after Renney was taken home and was in the hospital.
Instead of working with me on Renney's best interest, she decided to try to publicly destroy this kennel, making illogical, unproven statements about the pack here and also by drawing her own conclusions as to my selling practices which were completely unsubstantiated. To purposefully try to destroy PROVEN Healthy breeding dogs and a kennel, with years of sacrifice and hard work, is very sad, to say the least. Things happen, Life is not perfect, No one can ever """Guarantee""" that something will not go wrong. But to make public false accusations and determinations based on incorrect statements and incomplete facts is an atrocity, especially when I tried to remedy the situation in a logical and fair way.
In almost 17 years of raising puppies, I have never had another case, like this one, which confirms it is not a genetic issue but is one of development, (per agreement by my veterinarian) I have the paperwork confirming all this.
This has caused a contract change with me being able to require a puppy to be returned should a dispute arise. I hope I never have to request one to be returned again.
Please research Vaccinosis and also what underfeeding a growing puppy can do.
Thank you for understanding,
Vickie
