UPDATE 8/16/24: "It was the best of times....it was the worst of times..." That pretty much covers the last few months. Despite a strict vaccination protocol and putting restrictions on visitors, Jackson (at 10 month old pup) somehow contracted Parvo!! He spent 4 days at the ER (ching, ching). He survived and none of the mature dogs came down with it, but I lost quite afew puppies who were too young to vaccinate. They call it a "Parvo Storm" for a reason. Worse experience ever. I did my best to treat at home (per advise from my vets) and was able to save afew but more died, including my sweet Willow. The last one passed away June 9th and there have been no cases since then, so I think the worst is over. Also I changed my vaccination protocol so I can use a product that will be more effective and can be given earlier which I hope will help prevent future issues. Honestly, I was on the fence about disclosing all of this info, but I feel educating folks about Parvo and how deadly it is was more important. There is NO CURE for Parvo and it is EVERYWHERE! It can live in the soil for years, be tracked in on the bottom of your shoes and transmitted when your dog sniffs the p**p of another dog. All my pups are sold with at least one set of vaccinations, but it is vital the new owners get the recommended series of 3. Even fully vaccinated dogs can contract Parvo, but as I've seen, vaccination makes a big difference in their chance of survival. So VACCINATE!!! Now, on to the "best of times..." I do have some pups available now and you can see them in the photos I'll be posting. Just like in the Past, all pups come with a spay/neuter contract, vaccinations per age, dewormed, and from genetically tested parents. Applications for registration with ASDR is available for those who want them. I am located 1+hr NE of Spokane, WA, outside Priest River, ID. All females are $850...males are $650. Transport to just about anywhere is available and I will help arrange it if. Any other questions please refer to the pinned post at the top of this page titled FAQ/FYI. You may contact me via this page, or call (208)265-4837 or email [email protected]....NOT a fan of texts in general. PS I need to reduce the herd, so I will be offering "select" older dogs (from 8 months -- 5 years) to approved homes. More details to come. OK, now on to the fun part....PUPPIES!!!
