Just a friendly reminder that we do not hold puppies without a deposit! We’ve had a LOT of people saying they want a puppy from one of our litters but never place one, then they get upset when the puppy is reserved by someone else. We get way too many people who back out last minute for whatever reason so the deposit rule is firm. If you’re serious about a puppy, send the deposit! Otherwise, that puppy is considered available.

Here’s a pic of Morana eating a pup cup at Dairy Queen because it shows off her gorgeous head.

These boys are a week old today 🥰 Only 3 left! These will be our last Dasha babies. These boys will be large and impressive but not overdone with the ability to work. Sam wows everyone who meets him with his size and demeanor. No more Sam babies from us till next year. Our next litter will be from another male.

What do I have to do for an OFA cardiac clearance?
The OFA maintains two separate cardiac clearance databases, the Basic Cardiac Database and the Advanced Cardiac Database. The Basic Cardiac Database will only clear for congenital disease, and may be performed by any licensed veterinarian. The Advanced Cardiac Database results in a two-tiered clearance – one for congenital disease, and a second for adult onset disease. Advanced Cardiac exams may only be performed by boarded veterinary cardiologists with Diplomate status in either the ACVIM or ECVIM. Adult onset clearances are only valid for one year. The minimum age for certification in either cardiac database is 12 months.

Just a reminder people! Parvo is everywhere. Please do not take your puppies on walks, to dogs parks, stores, etc until they have completed their booster shots. Generally this is at around 15 weeks old. Parvo is deadly and highly contagious. We’ve only dealt with parvo twice (once in 2018 and once in 2021) but it’s scary and expensive to treat. We follow strict protocols to keep our puppies safe, please continue to keep them safe once they go home with you.

Morana today after coming home!

Story time: Morana is from our first litter out of Rayne. Her sire is Archi. She had went to South Carolina at 6 months old. Due to unforeseen events, she was returned and she arrived today on transport.

She is a testament to our breeding program. Exactly what I strive for. No fearfulness, confident and wary of strangers but also predictable and even tempered. She was unsure of me at first but she took everything in stride. She met some of our other female CAS without a hitch and even got reunited with her mama - who she remembers! I’ll post the video tomorrow, she was so happy to see her mom.

Pending health testing being completed and continued assessments of her temperament and structure, she will stay here as part of our breeding program. She is built wonderful though from what I have seen already and I will probably try to show her some as well 🥰

Dasha also whelped yesterday. She gave us 5 stunning boys. No tricolor but she did give us a white boy with grey markings. He will be going to a local co-own home (contact us if interested in being considered).

Our Tonka x Tamara litter was born yesterday. 8 perfect puppies, 4 males and 4 females. Only one red. Excited to see them grow! This is Tamara’s absolute final litter. She is being spayed and will retire with Raya. We will be keeping one female from the litter

Beautiful Nani. She unfortunately was not quite ready to be bred and her owners needed to get home so she is on her way back to Oregon without a completed tie….However, she took her bf back with her to make sure the deed gets done! So Sam will be gone for a few weeks (I already miss my main man) but he’ll be back soon! We will be getting pick of litter for the stud fee so we are excited for this pairing! We love our Nani daughters and are thrilled for the opportunity to add another from our own stud. We have not kept any Sam daughters yet and it’s past time!

A week ago these littles were born. Ember surprised us with 9 puppies total, 7 of which are girls. It was not a planned litter so pricing is reduced and we have one male and some females available. All reds except one blue girl. AKC registered and health tested parents. This is a repeat litter and the last litter was really nice. We did plan to repeat the litter, just not at this time as we had already planned to breed Tamara to Tonka and she was in heat. As a note, Ember had been in heat mid February and was not due back in until mid August but she apparently came in heat only 4 months after the last one. She barely swells and doesn’t bleed so I had not noticed.

Sam has a girlfriend visiting. Meet and greet went well and she’s flagging so hopefully we get a confirmed breeding before she goes home in a few days. Absolutely love Nani! This is Kona’s mom. Russian show lines and also a proven LGD. Fantastic personality. We are super excited to see these pups! If anyone in the PNW is looking, her owner will likely have some available.

This is Kona’s sister Nola. We decided to add her a while ago and we’re just waiting on her breeder to bring her down.

We got some good rain this evening and after it stopped I played with the boys some. Handsome boots, I can’t believe they have not found their homes yet 😢 We had a lot of interest but everyone has flaked out. So both boys are still available. They are 10 weeks old. They are starting to loose their puppy fuzz and get their pretty sleek coats. They have had limited almost daily interactions with our sheep. They are doing great. Red boy will remain red, the grayish colored boy will turn a cream color most likely as every pup with color we have had so far has. They are AKC registered, UTD on shots and dewormings and microchipped. They go with a health guarantee contract which includes hips and elbows. I am willing to entertain offers on them as Dasha is due to whelp in a week.

I kept these two girls to grow out but unfortunately they are not turning out how I like. Both are available to new homes.

First pic is Tiny. She is going to end up mini sized and since I am only breeding standard dogs now, she is not helpful to my program. She is a mottled blue with a c**n tail. Super sweet and outgoing girl. 9 months old currently and around 15 lbs. Available without papers but can be registered with CKC.

Second pic is Lilith. She is more fine b***d than I like and also lacks chest. She will be standard size. She is a bit timid with new people but is friendly and higher energy. Also 9 months old. She has been exposed to sheep and will work. She is AKC registered.

If interested in giving one of these girls a home please send a message. If going as pets they are super affordable. If going with breeding rights they will cost more. Please understand that I am not rehoming these girls because I don’t love or value them. Both were born here and have been pets to me. As a breeding kennel with multiple dogs, it is kinder to let them find new homes with families who have more time for them. They are great girls and deserve it.

Some examples of how CAS colors can change. There are 3 pics each here of Simba (Archi x Rayne) and Hilde (Sam x Rayne). Both started out a grey/fawn color but turned a light cream/tan.

Our boy Eldar from our current litter will also end up this color once mature.
