Why we avoid retractable leashes 👀

Prayers for everyone in this hurricane. We have 2 puppies there and I’m so worried for them and their families. ❤️

🍾Tequila🍾
Born March 2020

Oh man this one is hard to write.

I have a spayed adult house trained female. I’m looking to place her. I’m in no rush. She is absolutely the cause for some of the biggest roaring laughs I’ve ever gotten out of a dog. I love her beyond what I can’t write on a Facebook post.

Tequila was my 1st finished (UKC) show dog. She was also a bred by dog. (Meaning I paired the parents to make her) which makes her extremely special to me in ways of simple “she was my first” but then to top of her and a dog I raised laughed and loved. I know whoever gets her is going to adore her.

If she had it her way, she’d make shift here horses all day long. Makeshift meaning she has no idea what she’s doing but she knows she is a purpose. She has been good with poultry but does not see it daily. She lets my cockatiel land on her head.

She LOVES racing through water (as long as she can stand), chomping at water hoses in your hand (excitedly offended when you actually spray her), playing in the horse water trough…

She is good for grooming and is now much shorter than in these photos. Her coat must be done every week in order to stay in full coat… any longer than that your groomer will either cry or fire you.

If local I would love to remain her groomer.

Now the reason she has to be placed. Tequila does not care for puppies. She needs to be housed in a home dogs who dont seek dominance. She prefers male dogs as company that are roughly the same size as her and not excessive in energy.

She has normal blood results, she’s all healed from her spay & ready to go. She got her CHIC number for health testing but we decided to not breed her due to her temperament with other dogs.

She’s located in Yakima WA and she is not free.

This dog would make a good older jr show dog as she LOOOVES to be in the ring just as much as she loves horses & wading. If I knew anyone seeking a JR show dog, she’d be it. She’s fun, serious and when it’s time to be over, she’s enthusiastic! (I’ll add some videos from Tik Tok in comments)

We have one adult SPAYED female Old English Sheepdog available in Yakima WA. Will be very picky on placement! Born March 29 2020

Potty trained, crate trained, house trained.
Dog sensitive (she should be placed with large adult dogs that are past the “get in your face” stage and are not seeking to dominate other dogs) she loves to play in wading water, she has drive but will also be happy to relax and vedge till it’s time to go.

Children 14+ as I have not had her with many kids. She has not shown any bad behavior towards the ones she’s met.

She is not free.

She is a very very animated, playful, cuddly, loving, sweet, easy to groom for your groomer dog! Adore her so much but we cannot keep them all & I have a large pack which she would prefer a small pack. She does enjoy playing with other dogs if the criteria is met.

Up to date on shots and clean bloodwork.

There is nothing wrong with rescue.
There is nothing wrong with reputable breeder purchases either.

PSA

Copied from a friend:
Pro tip. Tis the season dogs encounter skunks. DO NOT bathe them! Go to store ( or have on hand ) Edge shave gel. Original. Lather them up with it, dry. Wait at least 20-30 minutes and then bathe. Sincerely your groomer who can't do a whole lot once you've set that smell with all the other remedies.....

Edit to add context. Skunk spray has a heavy oil base to give it "stick" the edge breaks down those oils vs. setting them. Perfume companies have used this oil for years as a base. It's why you can still smell grandma's perfume to this day.

We have a 3yo neutered boy coming back to us. His family has decided he needs to be in an ONLY dog home. He’s 80lbs and adores people.

He’s currently on the East Coast but will be making his way West if a home doesn’t turn up before his ride.

Oakley is still checking in to see if anyone would be interested in a sweet loving older Sheepdog. She’s spayed and had the whole works (teeth, blood, groom) please send me a message of your interested in Miss O.

She’d prefer a home with calmer dogs or as an only dog. She will sleep all day with you or go all day with you. Great on a leash, loves children, good with cats that stay outta her face, and great with my little senior dog. She LOVES cuddles and is an “in your skin” dog.

Are her people out there??? She just turned 6yo. She is not free. She is fully health tested as one of our prior mommas and would prefer a home with less dogs than our home has ❤️

She’s in Yakima WA

**Adult Looking To Retire**

When breeding, rather then keeping every dog and spreading our love thin, it’s sometimes in a dogs best interest to find a home… especially when another home would suite them more.

Oakley is going to be 6yo this year, she is fully health tested for thyroid, hips, eyes, heart & full blood work done and all of her insides are working as they should. She’s been spayed and has had a dental. She’s all ready for her new family!

Oakley is going to be an amazing dog for someone! She can literally lay around and lounge all day long and would be just happy doing so! She prefers male dogs… not a fan of puppies or dogs in her face for too long. She walks a amazing on a leash (I would trust her with a toddler walking her) shes good with cats, just doesn’t like them in her face. She is good with chickens & house birds. She does like to chase after livestock but will not hurt them.

She stands for being groomed, she hates it. Good for her nails 100% and is 100% crate trained. She can be trusted in the house when your away but prefers to have a kennel to sleep in even if it’s open. Its her retreat. Oakley likes fetch but prefers to chase dogs who are playing fetch. If she’s solo she’ll play fetch and bring it back.
She’s about 70/75lbs.

She really is a fantastic easy dog and no family is going to any issues with her what so ever!

Her biggest flaw is she likes to run the fence with other dogs on the other side.

I do hate to place her, but being in a home with less dogs would definitely make her more happy! She loves people and camping and hiking. She will follow her people everywhere or sleep with them all day.

She knows lie down, sit, wave, on your bed, kennel, stay & rides well in the car (she prefers backs of SUVs)

She is microchipped and also up to date on all shots.

She’s located in Yakima WA.

Bissell is our last boy of our litter of 12!

He was born April 14th and will come on limited registration. He is exceptionally mellow with a pleasing disposition. He does take strangers in stride but warms up quickly. His favorite thing to do is nap, followed by a rough house and another nap.

He is about 55/60lbs under that floof and I’m guessing will mature to 70, maybe 75 pounds. He is crate trained, leash trained and is doing well with potty training. He has not met children mucb but I foresee no issues. Same with cats. He so good with dogs of all sizes. He does get a little macho around his brother but calms down easily and they are playing the next moment.

We do have ground transport within the USA as well as a local airport for you to fly and pick him up ❤️
