At Trogers, we have a structured Waiting List system to ensure a fair and transparent process for those interested in our Thai Ridgeback puppies. Once you join our Waiting List, we provide updates on your position each time a new litter is born. This helps you know exactly where you stand and anticipate your puppy's arrival. During the waiting period, we keep you engaged and excited by regularly posting pictures of our new puppies on social media (Facebook and Instagram). You'll get to see your puppy grow and develop each week, ensuring you are part of the journey from the very beginning.

At Trogers, we understand how important it is to bring your new Thai Ridgeback puppy home safely and conveniently. We’re happy to assist you with a variety of transportation options tailored to your needs. You’re welcome to visit our kennel to pick up your puppy in person, or we can connect you with professional nanny transportation services experienced in safely delivering our puppies to their new families.

We only recommend nanny transportation companies that uphold the highest standards of care and safety for your new furry companion. Simply let us know your preference, and we’ll provide you with the necessary information to help you make the best choice for you and your new puppy.

The absolute earliest we allow any puppy to transition to their fur-ever home is at 8 weeks old. This policy ensures that our Thai Ridgeback puppies have the best start in life, benefiting from crucial early development with their mother and littermates.

We take great pride in placing each of our Thai Ridgeback puppies in homes where they can truly thrive. Our adoption process is thoughtfully designed to match you with the ideal puppy based on their personality and behavior traits. At 49 days old, each puppy undergoes a comprehensive temperament test, allowing us to gain insight into their unique characteristics.

Using the information from this test, along with the details shared in your application and our conversations, we recommend puppies from the litter that best align with your lifestyle and preferences. From there, you can choose your puppy with confidence based on our recommendations. Our ultimate goal is to ensure a happy and fulfilling lifelong bond between you and your new companion.

We believe that early preparation and socialization are key to raising a well-adjusted and well-behaved Thai Ridgeback puppy.

Here are some steps to follow:

1. Plan Ahead for Training: We recommend that you screen local dog trainers and schedule a training spot soon after bringing your puppy home. Early and consistent training is essential for a well-behaved dog.

2. Immediate Socialization: Begin socializing your puppy with family members and friends who will be around often. This helps your puppy form bonds and get comfortable with different people, contributing to a more stable and friendly temperament.

3. Vaccinations: Ensure your puppy is fully vaccinated before exposing them to other dogs and public spaces. This protects them from various diseases and allows them to safely explore and interact with the world. Following these steps will help create a strong foundation for your Thai Ridgeback puppy's development. Our dedicated breeding program focuses on the well-being of our puppies, and we are always here to provide additional support and advice as you take these important steps.
