Not interested in hearing from anyone with young kids (under 12 years) ! Buy a puppy ! I am almost giving them away !

Please READ the info.

These dogs are not really suited to immediately be a "buddy" for your other dog. They have established a pack here. You are better off to get one of these dogs first and then another if you want 2. Or, some of these dogs can go together if you want 2 dogs. They already know each other.

NO SHIPPING must be picked up in person.

Close to total dispersal of my dogs !

PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION AND UNDERSTAND IT.

There is a legally binding contract to adopt a dog. It basically says that you will spend 60 days socializing and working with the dog you adopt.

These dogs are not going to walk into your house and make themselves at home.

They take TIME to adjust. I am finding a minimum 3 weeks for any signs of adjusting.

If you do not have the time, patience or smarts to deal with this task, do not waste both our times inquiring.

You are not to rehome a dog adopted from me without my permission or EVER surrender to a RESCUE or the SPCA as someone recently did (after 10 days.)

Microchips will remain in my name until you have officially adopted the dog.

NOTE that these dogs are not being retired to be someone elses breeding dogs. They will be spayed or neutered before leaving here or must be by you as the adoption fee. I have no money at this time to do any more.

Page under construction with dogs being added. Check back often.

These are all well cared for dogs that are up to date on vaccinations, dewormings, and will come freshly clipped for you.

Most do not have extensive vet records. They are all healthy and have always been healthy. If there was ever a need for a vet, they would have been there.

I will provide a list of the dewormer, etc. that I do before you get your dog.

Please do not call my vet requesting records. They will not give out confidential information, they will tell me you called and I will be unhappy since I said not to.

There is nothing wrong with these dogs. They are not "get RID of" dogs. They are top quality and "pick of the litter" ! That is why I retained them for breeding.

Most are simply due for retirement. Sometimes my choices do not work out.

Males will not immediately tolerate other male dogs. They all get along here with MY OTHER DOGS because I expect them to and make sure they do. It could take months after neuter for them to accept other strange males.

So....a male will not go to a home with another male.

NO APARTMENTS/CONDOS or whatever we are calling them nowadays. A YARD WITH A FENCE is required.
These dogs are used to FENCED acreage. They run and stop when they come to a FENCE. A row of trees or a ravine is not a FENCE.

If you are going to put up a FENCE , you do not now have a FENCE. Contact me when you have a FENCE.

These are not problem dogs or rescued dogs with no history.

Only dog in family placement is preferred. Tell me about yourself and your situation and I will tell you which dog suits you.
They will need attention and work. They can all be or are used to being crated.

These are all gentle, submissive dogs. Homes with retired adults or someone that works from home are preferred. They are not used to long periods of time alone.

They are not used to kids and the hustle and bustle that accompanies them. Some would get used to kids faster than others and some just won't go to a home with them.

Kennel dogs live in the kennel. They are let out every 4 hours. They do not soil their kennels, therefore are easy to housetrain.
They also are dog door trained to the outside runs that they have access to in good weather.

They are not used to traffic and loud noises.

Most are not leash trained although I can do that once a dog has a home.

I do not take them around with me in my vehicle.

I would appreciate it if you do not change the names of these dogs. They have enough adjusting to do without losing even their name.

Due to declining health and just getting older, there will be a large number of my dogs being retired.
I will get them posted with descriptions asap.

Here is a short list.

CRITICAL LEVEL
has been reached for these dogs ! Some of them MUST find homes soon.
I have young toy, mini and moyen Poodles, Aussiedoodles and Double Doodles from pups to seniors , Australian shepherds and Toy Schnauzers and Schnoodles.

Adoption is your cost of spay or neuter. I have no more funds to do this.

If it said "RESCUE" in relation to their
status, people would be lined up for them !
I have been trying to home some of these dogs for years !

BOBBI HOMED living in Sorrento. Third dog from DBD. Two Aussies (very hyper, as you can see) and an Aussiedoodle.
