Litters
Upcoming Fall 2024 breedings will be announced when they occur. We currently have two breedings planned for late 2024. Both breedings are fully health tested of European lines. If you are interested in a puppy from a future litter, please fill out a puppy application.
All puppies come with: first round of vaccinations, deworming, lifetime microchip registration, health certificate, two year health guarantee, contract, lifetime breeder support, AKC Limited Registration. Puppies must be picked up in person (drive/fly in) and we are happy to help you make arrangements to do this.
Our dogs live in our home with our family, and not in kennels or a facility. Puppies are raised in-home with a protocol for socialization, environmental exposure, beginning house and crate training. Every puppy is temperament tested and matched with their homes at 7 weeks of age and pickup is scheduled after 8 weeks of age.
Cropping and docking is available for an additional charge for select litters. Homes wanting natural ear/tail will be prioritized.
