Do you have short-haired and long-haired puppies? +
We have in the past, however, all of our breeding females are currently long coated, and most males we will use are also long coated. Check back in the future as this is just a matter of circumstance, and we may introduce a short coated dog into our program.
Are they good with kids and other pets? +
Yes, they can be, when properly socialized and bonded. We would not recommend a young child be left unattended with a young puppy, but our dogs love our kids, our youngest often napped in the whelp box when he was younger. Now that he is older, they look to him for leadership.
What do you feed your dogs? +
Royal Canin large breed adult for the most part.
Do you offer breeding rights? +
Yes, all breed quality puppies come fully papered, with breeding rights. Non-breed quality puppies are by definition pups we do not feel meet the breed standard sufficiently enough to be bred. Papers will be provided once proof of spay/neuter has been provided.
