At What age should I purchase a dog?
Depending on your experience and when you require the dog will determine at what stage you should make your purchase.
PUPPY
As we use our own breeding program we are able to start the process by selecting the best two appropriate dogs, the stud and the bitch. The puppies are bred with a good strong working background and a calm yet strong temperament. Watching them grow and following up with a temperament test completed at 7 weeks you can select your puppy to be your working dog.
When the pup reaches 9-12 months s/he can be returned to the kennel where we will instinct test and begin the training. This is the cheapest method to purchase a dog and allows you and family to bond and socialize the puppy. Training takes between 2-4 weeks depending on the dog.
EXPERIENCED DOG
These dogs have been working in our program for several years, with age comes experience. This is the most expensive dog to buy. Most a seasoned swimmers and are a good for for someone who has never worked with a working dog before.
DOGS AVAILABLE

I would like to place her into small business environment where she can enjoy some home comforts after a day at work. She would really suit someone who is starting out…a dog to train the handler!!
