Puppy Packet

A puppy packet is the information that I send home with every puppy (or adult) bred or fostered here at Romyldale. With each new litter my packet grows a little more and gets a little better organized. Feel free to copy anything that looks useful. I would appreciate any feedback, good or bad, as I am constantly trying to improve on what I have and would like to hear if you have another way of doing things.

I include the following individualized items in each packet:

AKC individual registration form
Contract
Pedigree
Photos of sire and dam
Health record (shots, wormings, etc.)
Growth charts
