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, Hayleigh), 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.
O'Dell's Bluey: Bluey is a chocolate girl who is almost 3 (in Dec.). She is very sweet, loves going on walks, does really well at staying in the yard when loose, and would love to have her own couch to snuggle on. Bluey is a bit shy, and is not house-trained, but does fine in the crate and would learn so quickly. She is eager to please! I will not ship her--must come meet in person to see if you are a good fit. She is fine with my husband, but does do better with females. She is great with our grandchildren, so I would say older children would be best (8 or older). A very busy and loud household will likely not be the best fit for her. A farm, or quieter household would fit her much better. She is fine with cats, but will chew boxes or get in trash if it's left available. Her adoption fee is $400.
