A HYBRID COMBINATION OF AN OLD ENGLISH SHEEP DOG AND A POODLE

WE USE EMBARK GENETIC TESTING FOR OVER 200 DISEASES AND TEST TO OFA STANDARDS FOR HIPS, ELBOWS, AND THYROID. WE MAY ALSO USE PAW PRINT GENETICS FOR SOME BREED SPECIFIC TESTING ON OUR MOMMAS. WE HAND PICK OUR SIRES TO ENSURE THEY ARE HEALTH AND GENETICS TESTED TO THE SAME STANDARDS, WHICH ENSURES HEATHY PUPS AND MINIMIZES THE CHANCES OF HEALTH COMPLICATIONS LATER IN LIFE.

YES, BOTH OF OUR BREEDS ARE LOW SHEDDING HYBRID BREEDS, SO THEY ARE PERFECT IN HOMES WHERE ALLERGIES ARE A CONCERN.

EARLY NEUROLOGICAL STIMULATION - ALLOWS THE PUPS TO BE EXPOSED TO NEW STIMULI, WHERE THEY RECOVER QUICKLY, IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT

EARLY SCENT INTRODUCTION - ALLOWS THE PUPS TO SMELL A VARIETY OF SMELLS THAT ARE NOT FOUND IN THEIR WHELPING ENVIRONMENT

WE ESTIMATE SOME OF OUR PUPS COULD BE AS SMALL AS 40 POUNDS AND AS LARGE AS 80 POUNDS, DEPENDING ON THE SIRE AND DAM PAIRINGS.  PLEASE ASK US ABOUT THE SIZES OF THE EXPECTED LITTERMATES YOU ARE INTERESTED IN.

ALL OF OUR DOGS ARE FED PURINA PRO PLAN FOODS. THE PUPS WILL BE FED PURINA PRO PLAN PUPPY FOR LARGE BREEDS.

OUR PUPPIES WILL SEE OUR VET BETWEEN 6-8 WEEKS OLD, TO HAVE A WELL VISIT AND RECEIVE THEIR PUPPY SHOTS.  ONCE THEY HAVE THE ALL CLEAR FROM OUR VET, THEY WILL BE READY TO TRAVEL TO THEIR NEW FOREVER HOMES AT 8 WEEKS OLD.

THERE ARE SITUATIONS WHERE WE HAVE A PUPPY THAT WE WANT TO ADD TO OUR BREEDING PROGRAM, BUT DO NOT HAVE THE SPACE, IN OUR HOME, TO DO SO.  GUARDIANS GO THROUGH THE APPLICATION PROCESS AND RECEIVE A PUPPY, TO LOVE AND CARE FOR, IN THEIR HOME, AS THEIR PET.  GUARDIAN HOMES MAY ACCEPT EITHER MALE OR FEMALES PUPPIES, DEPENDING ON THE BREEDING NEEDS AND THE GUARDIANS PREFERENCE.  THE GUARDIANS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOVING, CARING FOR, TRAINING, GROOMING, FEEDING AND VETTING THEIR PUPPY, THROUGHOUT IT'S LIFE.  IN EXCHANGE FOR THESE RESPONSIBILITIES, WE OFFER OUR GUARDIANS A DISCOUNTED PRICE AT PUPPY PURCHASE.  ALL GUARDIANS MUST LIVE WITHIN AN HOUR OF OUR HOME, TO ENSURE TIMELY ACCESS FOR TESTING AND BREEDING.

YES, WE DO!  WE ARE VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT HELPING PEOPLE WHO NEED SERVICE DOGS GET SERVICE DOGS.  THE TRAINING COVERS A LARGE SPECTRUM, AS EACH CONDITION REQUIRES THE DOG TO BE ABLE TO WORK DIFFERENTLY.  WE HAVE SOME GREAT RESOURCES TO HELP  YOU GET CONNECTED TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND WE ARE BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO DONATE SOME OF OUR PUPPIES TO SUCH A FANTASTIC CAUSE!

OUR DOGS ARE BRED WITH THE VISION AND TRAINING TO BE ABLE TO GIVE THEM THE FOUNDATION THEY NEED TO GO ONTO BREEDING WORK, PERFORMANCE WORK, THERAPY WORK AND SERVICE DOG WORK.
