Retiring Adult Dogs for Sale

Do you have the big heart and nice setting to give to one of our transitioning dogs ? On occasion we will have an adult dog to place into a pet home. These dogs are most typically 1 to 5 years old and were most typically born and raised here, although some can be up to 8 years of age. Some may have never had any puppies for us and some may have had several litters. We usually charge a $100 to $300 fee. But dogs under 2 years old can be up to $800. We like people to live within 3-4 hours of our home. We do not like to ship our adult dogs. We prefer homes with homeowners, not renters. We prefer homes with another dog in the household. We prefer homes with children over the age of 8. We prefer homes with experienced dog owners, not first time dog owners. We prefer homes with a fenced yard. These dogs would require training and patience while they transition from their farm/kennel/dog/breeder lifestyle here into a "pet" home lifestyle. They are typically very nervous for the first week, month or more. Our female dogs are typically crate trained and are used to going in and out into the yard. We do not have "stairs" here so they don't have experience with that. Our male stud dogs are not house or crate trained. All dogs would need to be obedience trained. It is always very difficult for us to make the final decision to place one of our dogs into a new home. But we are dedicated to continuing on in the development of our breed and so need to continue the bloodlines on into the next generations. Which means when we select a younger pup to raise up we typically have to find a home for an existing adult dog. At our home/farm our dog's lives are very simple and are very routine 7 days a week. To uproot a dog from our quiet lifestyle to place them into a home with strangers that takes them away from our family members and all of the other dogs that they have been hanging out with for years is quite a shock to them. Their new owners can have NO expectations of them at all. Here is a video of what part of their day and lifestyle is like with us: https://youtu.be/ghGEelpL0nc
