Planned Breedings

This page was updated on 11/01/2021.

We update this page with real-time information about our current breeding plans, news of a pregnancy confirmation, as well as estimated whelping dates.
Once puppies arrive, we move all updates to our Current Litter page. There, you will find weekly photos, as well as important updates and milestones
as the puppies grow and learn with us.

Please check back for updates or email us with any questions you may have. 


Please also check out other important information under the Our Puppies menu, including a link to our puppy contract.

Fall 2022
For those following this page, we have an update that is a bit disappointing but necessary.

Ricki Bobbi just finished her most recent estrus cycle. Because she came in season 3+ months earlier than anticipated,
had we bred her this cycle, she would have whelped less than a week after this year's RRCUS National Specialty, where she is entered and I am co-chairing. This made for a unfeasible situation, and we opted to skip this cycle. 

At this point, our focus has shifted to Abby's next cycle and subsequent first breeding,
which we had planned for next spring's, but will instead shift to this fall. Our stud of choice for Abby is posted below!

Because of Ricki Bobbi's age, we are weighing the option to breed her next year vs. retirement.
When we've come to this decision, we will announce those details on this page. 

Thank you to everyone who follows us and those who are anxiously awaiting news of our next litter!

Spring 2023 Breeding Plans: Currently Tentatively Planned

Litter expectations:
We anticipate puppies from this litter to be extremely biddable and have a good work ethic.

►Priority will be given to performance homes, as we anticipate these puppies will have the capacity
to work multiple performance venues (obedience, Rally, agility, +/- lure coursing) with ease
and see participation in these venues as a positive, fulfilling lifestyle for these puppies. 

Puppy deposit will be required once families are interviewed and selected for this litter.
