How often do females come in season?

- Pregnancy in dogs lasts between 59 - 72 days. The whelp date usually falls around day 63
When will you know which puppy is mine?
- Temperament testing is done around 7 weeks of age and this is when we decide which pup will be best suited to each waiting home.
When are ear crops done?
- At 8 weeks of age is when I take the pups for ear crops at our ear crop veterinarian.
What age can my puppy come home?
- At 9 to 10 weeks is when puppies are ready to go home or enter our Advanced Training Program
Do you only sell to show homes?
- No. The majority of puppies are sold as gorgeous companions. Only a select few are chosen to be competitive prospects in conformation shows and/or performance venues. For these prospects, we want potential owners to have experience in some sort of competitive sport prior to getting one of these prospects.
How much are puppies?
-All gorgeous companion pups are $3500. This includes all age appropriate shots, deworming, ear crop and tail docked. We also offer puppies from our Advanced Training Program click here for info.
Are your dogs health tested?
-Yes we do health testing on the stock we are breeding. We typically do OFA preliminary testing, which occurs before the dog is 2 years old. Health testing is a tool in breeding but not a guarantee that all puppies will be free of any disease. There are many factors we take into consideration when pairing a male and female dog and health is just one part of the process.
