Find Your Puppy

Our S litter was born on August 3: four males and three females, all black and tan, all between 15 and 18 ounces at birth. Juno whelped all seven in under five hours without help. Neither parent is sable, so there are no sables in this one. Expect the tan to land anywhere between Juno's lighter tan and Brix's deep red. This is a breeding for power and nerves. Brix brings hardness and an open German pedigree. Juno brings her calm grip, her tracking and OFA Excellent hips. Brix is DM clear and Juno is a carrier, so every puppy is either clear or a carrier and none can be at risk. We expect dogs that suit IGP, search work and experienced active homes. A couple of the females are showing a softer, more social temperament that should fit a family that trains. The puppies are just under seven weeks old. They are on solid food, eating in individual crates, and well into the surface and obstacle routine. Ears are starting to lift on a couple of them. Five of the seven are spoken for. We mark a puppy reserved when our early read lines up with a home on the list, and we confirm every match after the seven-week evaluation on September 22. Go-home day is September 28.

Mika was bred to Kodi on August 21 and 23, and an ultrasound on September 17 confirmed the pregnancy. Puppies are due around October 24 and would go home the week before Christmas. This pairing puts our best tracking dog on our best obedience female. Both are sable, both are DM clear, both have OFA Good hips and normal elbows. The pedigree is linebred 3-4 on our foundation female Asha, the dog this kennel was built on. Expect sables, with a chance of black and tan since both parents carry it. We expect medium-sized, fast, handler-focused dogs with serious tracking ability: a good fit for IGP, AKC tracking and obedience, search and rescue, and active homes that want a dog that is easy to train. The list has three deposits on it and we will take up to five before the litter is born.
