Available Older Puppies & Young Adults

On occasion, we may have older puppies or young adults come available for placement into pet homes, guardian homes or sports homes. These are usually puppies that were held back by us after passing our conformation litter evaluation and temperament tests in hope of adding them to our program in the future. Training level will depend on the dog. Pet puppies will go home with limited registration OR with proof of AKC registration(copy) until their spay/neuter in adulthood. (Co-ownership may be considered; however not all dogs will be eligible. If it is an option, then it will be stated in the post and offered to select individuals only. Our puppies go home with a health guarantee and a spay/neuter agreement. If you are not someone that is interested in keeping in touch or updating us every once in a while of the dog’s well-being after they go home.. please do not submit an application.

Guardian/Co-Own show home opportunity

Availability: Will be available soon - Now Accepting Applications
Status: Currently in training
Potential: Scent detection, Active Sports, and Showing, Temperament test results available(from an independent trainer-GRCC).
​Description:
We are searching for a guardian co-own show/sports home for a female puppy from our Paden x Zaina litter(DOB 12/13/25). She is currently in training. A local home within 2 hours will be considered, but we prefer a home within 1 hour of Sacramento or Orangevale. Puppy will be fully health tested, titled, and bred by us. A
 Guardian Home must be comfortable in allowing us to take the dog for training, sport trials, showing, grooming, breeding, puppy raising for 8 weeks(after 2 years old), the last 1-2 weeks of pregnancy, vet appointments, and grooming. We pay for her spaying at retirement, health tests, titling expenses, and all breeding-related costs. An interest in sports is welcomed and may be compensated; contact us with your plans! Puppy is at no initial cost; however, her guardian family must understand that her purchase price is waived in order for her to be enrolled in our breeding program. She is not available for outright purchase. We are strict with who this puppy will go home with, as we are entrusting you with a very special puppy. We reserve primary ownership over the dog; the guardian home will be the secondary co-owner. The co-owner will be paid per puppy or receive a puppy back from her last litter. Guardian Homes must have great communication, be able to transport if needed, and be flexible with us. Reference(s) and/or an in-home visit will be requested. Basic obedience training and grooming are mandatory. She will have a longer, dense show coat that will require regular grooming appointments. She must be kept on our preferred diet. The Guardian family must also give a chewable vitamin daily for the first 2 years.
Boarding, grooming, and training are provided by us at no cost when available; otherwise, we will give recommendations if it's beyond our capability.
