Shiny was a wonderful mother to 11 amazing puppies in her first litter born April 2026. She is taking a well deserved break from motherhood and will work on earning the last component to her ROM Register of Merit title in the meantime. We are excited to consider a second litter from her because she was such a great mom and her puppies are so loved.

Freya’s owner Ashley lives in Utah and is considering breeding Freya after she finishes her AKC Championship. Freya needs just one major and we hope to finish her championship this fall/winter 2026. Her puppies will be born and raised with Ashley in her home in Utah. I am a mentor and co-owner of Freya, and a co-breeder of her puppies so I will update any breeding plans here.
*** PLEASE NOTE ***
Any proposed breeding timelines are just an estimation. Sometimes they come in heat earlier or later than anticipated. We cannot choose when they come in heat. There are usually only two heat cycles or breeding opportunities per year for a female and we have to work with the timing she gives us. If she or we are not ready at the time she comes into heat, we have to postpone until her next heat cycle.
Health testing on the sire and dam must be complete and current in order to proceed with breeding. We raise our litters in our home with us. Due to the high level of commitment and the demands of raising a litter to our standards, we can typically only accommodate 0-2 litters per year.
Further, our girls are not bred repeatedly over and over again beyond what is healthy for them, or advantageous to our program or the breed. They are not bred younger than 2yrs old or older than 6yrs old. They are not bred again if they are not good, dedicated mothers. We breed conscientiously for the advancement of our program and preservation of the breed, and only when it is the right timing and conditions for our girls, and for us to be committed and present to raise puppies and support the new owners.
