Nakita has recovered well from her back to back litters but we feel she can benefit from some time just enjoying ranch life.
We have successfully navigated a heat cycle without breeding - a challenging feat with these dogs! Although the breeding window is only a few days every 6 months, they are extremely motivated, persistent and creative!

Puppies expected
Timing: January 2020
Availability: Puppies all have homes

We bred in Alberta and whelped at our Arizona home. Our dam acquired an infection which developed into pneumonia. The puppies were born a little earlier than expected and were tiny. We worked hard, bottle feeding round the clock to help these pups survive and thrive.
