Our Puppies
NEWS (posted October 29, 2008)
We will breed Adrina in the Spring when she is due to come into season. The next breeding to occur in our area will be Ava (imported from Federici in Italy) to our boy Vando.
Ava is owned by Jocelyn Slatin in Prescott, AZ. Ava has her IABCA championship. Check back in a few weeks for more news.
OUR PUPPY POLICY
I must say that I will be selecting puppy owners based on their interest to work with me in an ongoing breeding program and secondly by those who are nearer to me geographically.
I do not ship puppies, but require the owners to come to our home so that I may meet them.
I do consider all requests! I also take into consideration the family makeup. I temperament test all my puppies but do not select for future breeding/show potential until puppies are 7.5 weeks of age.
My puppy price includes a 3 year membership in the Lagotto Club of America and registration with the American Kennel Club Foundation Stock Service (AKC FSS). We register our puppy names under the prefix Shivaree, meaning noisy celebration or serenade.
I require puppies to be spayed or neutered if not for show/breeding purposes. I will work out those details with the prospective owner.
I require certain things of my puppy owners:
-- I expect the dog to be an important lifetime part of the family.
-- I expect the dog to be given basic household obedience training with a professional trainer, group or private.
-- I expect the dog to have a quiet place to rest in their own bed/crate.
-- I expect the dog to be given good health care to the best ability of the family.
-- I expect the dog to be kept clean and tidy and groomed in the manner that represents the breed.
