Puppies

Current and planned litters, dogs available now, how our puppies are raised, and the written health guarantee.

Planned litters

Only a few carefully planned litters a year come through. Every pairing is chosen for what the two dogs bring together, not for what is easiest to sell. If a pairing below is right for you, apply early — puppies are matched to homes from the application list.

Available now

From time to time we have a started dog available — one that has stayed with us past puppyhood and has obedience and foundational bite work on it. These dogs suit an owner who wants a head start, and who can keep the training going.

How buying works

Started and trained dogs go through the same application as puppies. A non-refundable deposit of $1,000 reserves the dog and comes off the purchase price; deposits are taken electronically once the application is approved. The application is how we make sure the dog and the home actually fit.

How our puppies are raised and imported

Puppies are whelped and raised by our colleagues in the Czech Republic and handled from the first week. Early socialisation is the part that cannot be made up later, and it is the part those kennels take most seriously. By the time a puppy comes to us, it has met new people, new surfaces, and normal household noise.

At seven weeks every puppy goes for its first veterinary health check, which we pay for in every case. It arrives with a complete health record including vaccination and worming history, a pet passport, and the breeder’s written health guarantee — which we pass along and stand behind.

SupportWe stay reachable for the life of the dog

To obtain full AKC registration — breeding rights — the dog must pass a physical inspection by a licensed veterinarian at six months of age for DM and hips/elbows. A fee uplift applies.

Health guarantee

Every puppy is examined by a veterinarian before it goes home and is covered by a written 26-month guarantee against congenital defects. The essentials:

First 3 business daysHave your own vet examine the puppy — anything they find, we make right
First 2 yearsCovered against congenital defects, replacement with a dog of equal value
Hips and elbowsCovered when the dog is x-rayed and evaluated at one year of age

The signed purchase contract is the binding document. The fine print, in plain English:

What is not covered

Contagious disease, conditions the breed is predisposed to, pregnancy or birthing problems, conformation flaws, and accidental or trauma-related injury. The guarantee is void if the sale agreement is violated, the dog is sterilised before two years of age, bred without authorisation, or over-vaccinated against the protocol we provide. It applies to the original buyer and is not transferable.

How a claim works

The guarantee is a replacement, not a refund — a dog of similar pedigree and equal value, as soon as one is available. The dog must come back unaltered in condition and temperament, with a written statement from a veterinarian on their letterhead identifying the congenital defect. Transport costs are the buyer’s responsibility.

If you can no longer keep your dog

Tell us — you can return a healthy dog to us at any point in its life. It comes back with the original contract, registration paperwork, health records and microchip forms, and proof of a veterinary exam within 48 hours of return. No refund is given on a returned dog.

Vaccine protocol

We follow a minimal-vaccination protocol from the College of Integrative Veterinary Therapies, and your puppy leaves with its first round already done. Discuss it with your own vet — it is a starting point, not a substitute for their advice.

The full schedule, week by week
7 weeksDistemper + Parvovirus, MLV (first vet visit, provided by us)
9–10 weeksDistemper + Parvovirus, MLV
14–15 weeksDistemper + Parvovirus, MLV
18 weeksParvovirus only, MLV
20 weeks or olderRabies, 3–4 weeks apart from other vaccines, mercury-free
1 yearOptional Distemper + Parvovirus booster or titre, and rabies (3-year product where the law allows)
Every 3 yearsVaccine antibody titres for distemper and parvovirus, or more often if you prefer

Vaccinate for rabies according to the law. Where a written waiver is called for, a rabies antibody titre can accompany the request — but a titre alone is not grounds to waive a required booster.
