Once in a while, we do offer up a retired dog or two for adoption, or sometimes a young dog just didn't meet our standards for breeding--we only want the best of the best to be bred. Sometimes we have dogs returned to us because the owner's situation changed, or they can no longer care for the dog. (We will ALWAYS take our babies back, and NEVER want any of our dogs to end up in a shelter!) The dogs raised here have usually been raised as outside dogs, but would love to transition to being inside with us a new family. They are good with older children, but are not used to a lot of excitement and roughhousing. They would be excellent running buddies, and have years of love to give, without going through the puppy stage.  They are always up-to-date on vaccinations and heart worm medication, and used to being crated inside at night, but are not fully house-trained. These dogs are very special, and we want only the best life-long home for them to enjoy. They are only available because we have other retired dogs now (Benelli, Sophie, Daniel), and we would love for these to have more individual attention. AKC papers are not included when we adopt one of these out, but if you are planning on some kind of show or event that you need those, please let us know  

PENDING PICK UP:Elli, chocolate female, age 4 (just turned in September), OFA good hips, normal elbows, spayed, house trained, good with people of all ages, not good with small dogs or chickens. Must be an inside dog and have a fenced yard. Ellie is a sweetheart who grew up as a house dog and just wants her own couch. She loves other big dogs, but does not like to share food so would need a separate eating spot. I would prefer she was the only dog in the house. Elli's adoption fee is $400.
