Puppies
I don't breed often (8 litters
since the first in 1997) so do not always have
puppies available. Below are the litters on the
ground
or in the planning stages, as well as links to
friends I trust to recommend you to with
puppies.
My philosophy
I breed for temperamentally sound, healthy dogs
that can excel in the ring and in the field,
while making great companions! A dog is
useless if it isn't a great pet first and
foremost. I strive to have
a dog who can walk off the coursing field and
into the therapy
home,
or even into a library to
read books with kids and still win in the ring!
I do tend to hold off breeding until dogs are
older as you can't hope to weed out the three
major health problems in Borzoi (Bloat, Cancer,
& heart problems) as well as increase
longevity if you go thru the generations
quickly, so my dogs have been an average age of
5 for a litter. Heck, the average age of my 5
adult dogs as of Jan 2010, is 7.5!
My dogs are slow to mature, as I feel that those
are the dogs who 'last' longer, stay sounder
longer, and tend to stay with us longer. I see
no reason to breed dogs who look like little
adults at 6-12 months old. My dogs are mature
enough for the show ring at 3+ yrs of age.
There's too many other things to do with them
before then.
Starting in the fall of 2010, I will only be
breeding dogs who have DNA profiles. This
insures the pedigree of your puppy are correct as far back
as I possibly can.
I don't believe in placing pups at less than 3
months. After losing my first Borzoi puppy to parvo,
I am very paranoid and want my puppies to
have more than one shot before they are let go.
Deposits can be made, just contact me for more
information. Like every
good breeder, I require vet and personal
references, as well as a
Home check.
All puppies will be Microchipped. All pets go on
spay & neuter contracts.
If interested in
any of my future litters, please fill out the
questionnaire
or
Email
if you'd like information about older dogs available through friends, or if you
have questions!
