We start the process of reserving a puppy by approving your puppy application. Once approved, we require a $500 deposit and a completed contract to reserve a puppy. Deposits are non-refundable but are transferable to another litter if necessary.

Yes of course! We allow visits after puppies are 6 weeks of age and have had their first vaccine. We also offer virtual visits such as facetime or zoom if you are unable to visit in person.

Our puppies are ready to go to their new homes at 9 weeks of age. We also offer several training program options if you would like your puppy to have training prior to bringing them home.

Yes! Our puppies go through an extensive handling, exposure, and socialization program beginning at three days of age. We begin with early neurological stimulation and early scent introduction. Handling exercises include touching and trimming nails, examining ears, mouth, eyes, paw pads, and bathing and blow drying. Puppies are exposed to a variety of noises, surfaces, moving objects, other animals, obstacles, and people of various ages wearing a variety of clothing.

Absolutely! We ensure that all of our breeding dogs undergo health testing for breed specific conditions such as hip dysplasia, inherited eye diseases, and dilated cardiomyopathy. Their health testing is available for your review - please don’t hesitate to request results.

Our dogs are fed Inukshuk, a high-quality, balanced diet formulated for active performance dogs. We will provide a sample when you pick up your puppy.

AKC limited registration allows your puppy to be registered and compete in any AKC events except for conformation. Offspring of dogs with AKC limited registration cannot by registered with AKC.

AKC full registration allows your puppy to compete in all AKC events included conformation shows. This also allows the dog’s offspring to be registered with AKC.

Our puppies come with AKC limited registration. We do offer the option for full registration once the puppy has reached two years of age and has completed the recommended health testing for the breed.

We follow UC Davis recommendations. This means we recommend that males remain intact indefinitely and females remain intact until 24 months of age. These are simply recommendations. There may be other circumstances that need to be considered as well, and these circumstances may change these recommendations.

Of course! We are always available to offer advice and support as your puppy grows. We also love updates and are happy to hear about your puppy’s life as they grow. Whether you have questions about feeding, training, or general care, we are here to help.

Yes, we are happy to share reviews and testimonials from our puppy buyers.

We recommend having the following ready for your puppy:

• A crate that is sized appropriately for your puppy - a larger crate with a divider is recommended

• Puppy food (we feed Inukshuk and will provide a sample)

• Food and water bowls

• Chew toys and treats

• A leash and collar

• Ear posting/cleaning supplies

• Nail clippers

• A pet cot/elevated bed

We have a shopping list which includes many of the items listed above, as well as an ear posting video and description.

We actually have a variety of bloodlines including European show lines, European working lines, and American show lines. Some breedings are all one or the other, but we also have some breedings that are mixtures of these lines. We very much enjoy our European and American cross litters. We get a lower COI and hopefully increased health and longevity, and get very nice structure, temperament, and working ability as well.
