Available Adults

We rarely ever have adult dogs available; however, they will leave for their new home sterilized(pets only), trained, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, on flea/tick prevention, vet checked, and with proof of AKC registration(copy). The cost varies by pedigree, titles, health clearances, training, and whether they are being placed as a pet or on co-ownership(breeding). These dogs are either retired or were returned back to us. We are very selective with where our dogs call home. If you are not someone who is interested in ever updating us on the dog’s well-being after they go home, please do not submit an application. For our available adult dogs, our process is a bit different from that of puppies. During the application process, we choose the best possible match(s) and meet with those applicants by appointment. A reservation is not required to meet the dog; however, a $500 reservation fee is required to reserve the dog if picking up at a later time or if delivery is requested.
Available mid June 2026 or after:
​Our mama Zaina - Retiring

We are placing our beautiful mama Zaina due to her next breeding timing and downsizing. She is our oldest intact girl. Zaina holds a close bond with us, being our first official keeper from our breedings.
Zaina is almost 4 years old and has had 2 litters with us. We had originally planned to retire her after one more litter; however, the timing of her next breeding won't work for us, so we have decided to retire her early! She was spayed in May and will be ready to leave for her new home starting the second week of June. She will require a very special home, and we are in no rush to place her :). She is our smaller version of her dad, Bentley. She would do best in a quiet, relaxed home environment with an owner who doesn't mind her size or snuggles, as her favorite place to be is lying on us and snuggling on our necks. She is very loyal. She does NOT enjoy rambunctious dog energy, pushy dogs that don't respect boundaries, or rough play. She has great handler focus and prefers to be around people. Her new owner must be educated on dog body language to ensure that she is comfortable during social interactions. She likes gentle play on her terms. She prefers solo play, one-on-one play with gentle dogs, and playing with us + toys. She would do best in a home on her own, with a calmer dog, or with an older senior dog. As she's gotten older and more mature, she isn't as dog social as she was when she was a teen/pup. She now socializes best with our older dogs and her puppies. She loves to sunbathe in the yard.. it is a BIG part of her daily routine so she will need a home that will allow her to do this. No dog parks, free-for-all doggie day care centers, or free-for-all play dog boarding facilities - it would be too much for her. She was raised around cats and our other dogs. She absolutely loves fetch, walks, car rides, and swimming + dock diving(her favorite). She does well in the car on long rides without getting car sick. She would enjoy going on frequent adventures, hiking, and camping. She is the perfect companion for a couple or a single person. She would love a new home that would allow her to swim often; however, she is prone to "swimmer's ear" due to trapped water, so her ears need to be cleaned and dried thoroughly after every swim. We use TrizULTRA + Keto Flush for ear cleaning on all of our dogs, per our vet's recommendation. To help keep them dry, we shave our dogs' inner ears and inner paws, then dust them with powder. More information will be added after her spay. We are now accepting applications for her, and we will begin to hold meetings with approved applicants after she is fully healed from her spay, approximately during the second week of June. She is currently on PPP Salmon and Rice Large breed SSS. She is 65 lbs, standing at 21" tall from her withers. Fully health tested. OFA, PennHIPs, and genetic panel. Has her CGC.CGCA.CGCU and TKN titles. She will come spayed with AKC registration transfer, copies of health clearances, a copy of her pedigree, vaccination record, and copies of her titles.)
