Stud Service Change & UPDATES as of February 9th, 2015

We will offer stud service of our males, to select females/breeders only, who will be asked to sign a binding contract in advance.  Charge for stud service will be the cost of a puppy, (which could vary) or pick of the litter puppy, that we will either keep, or place.  We ask that you be experienced in breeding, or be willing to allow us to mentor to you before, during and after delivery.  If we are to get the pick of the litter, we will ask that photos and updates be sent to us as often as possible and that picks not be allowed until 5-6 weeks of age, to better determine coat types.  We have found that coats seem to change nearing the 6 week mark and also temperaments are better determined at this age as well.  The hardest things we have found in providing stud service, is not to have messages returned in a timely manner.  We care about the puppies produced from our males just as if they had been born here in our home.  It's been a learning curve for us and that is why we will be changing how we offer stud service, or puppies to other breeders.  It is wonderful when we can all work together to better the breed and watch our mutually produced puppies thrive and go off to live with their forever families and continue to get updates on how they are doing.  We sincerely care about every single puppy that is produced from both our sires and our dams.
