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(tentative placement)

We are considering placing our beautiful mama Zaina due to her next breeding timing and downsizing our intact dogs. She is our oldest intact girl. We have put tentative plans as 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 is set to be spayed in late May and could be ready to leave for her new home starting in June. She will require a very special home, and we are in no rush to place her :). 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 or rough play. She prefers gentle play on her terms. She mostly prefers solo play or playing with us and toys. She would do best in a home on her own or potentially with an older dog. As she's gotten older, she now socializes best with friendly senior dogs. No dog parks, doggie day care centers, or free-for-all play dog boarding facilities - she wouldn't be a good candidate. She was raised around cats. She absolutely loves fetch and swimming. 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. 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 will begin accepting applications for her and hold meetings with approved applicants after she is fully healed from her spay, approximately during the second week of June; however, we are currently building a list of interested parties to notify once we open our applications for her. She is currently on PPP Salmon and Rice Large breed SSS.
​
Pet Only Fee: $1500(includes spay cost, AKC registration transfer, copies of health clearances, copy of pedigree, copies of titles, etc.)
