Puppies

We are accepting reservations for our summer litters. We have 1 male and 1 female pups available now who are 12 wks old. We have one black tri little girl (the one on the far left above) and 1 brown and white boy, Maple I (see below) Please see the planned litters page for the upcoming litters.

Trinity is retired, and she misses playing with kids. We are looking for a wonderful family home for her. Her adoption fee will be $100. Please see the available adults box below for more information.

We also are retiring Royal later this year and Cookie JR is available now. Please call me to talk about them.

Fiona's boy, Maple One, on the right, will be short and stocky. He is available.

Our puppies are usually sold by advance reservations. We occasionally have extra puppies like we do now, which is a wonderful surprise. We are now accepting reservations for planned litters in the future. If you would like more information please call or email me, Donna.

As sometimes it may be a six month to a year waiting time for a puppy from a certain pair of prospective parents, we encourage you to take the first step. Please send us your answers to the 10 questions on our questionnaire on the reservations page.

That is the first step, for your personal telephone interview, for us to start talking. If you'd like to email your answers in we can also do that. After becoming approved, then folks are eligible to send in a reservation deposit. The next step is going on the priority list for a specific set of parents, or a specific time line that is convenient for you.

Step 1: view the available pups or adults on the planned litters page. Once we have a telephone chat we will send you photos of the available puppies.
Step 2: call or email your answers to our questionnaire. Once approved by phone or email then you may move to step 3.

Step 3: Place your reservation deposit to hold a puppy for you. All deposits go towards the price of the puppy, of course. We will then send you all the photos of all our available pups. You may do this on the Reserving a puppy page.

Available Adults: Trinity has now retired. The adults range from 2 to 6 yrs old. All will make wonderful family and house dogs who need their people and are snugglers.

The more dogs you own, the more limited is the time available for each individual dog. It is hard to let a dog go that you have raised and love dearly, but it would be selfish to keep them all. They deserve to have a family of their own that can provide them with all the family's undivided attention. Any available adults have been or will be spayed or neutered, are up to date on vaccinations, are on heartworm prevention, and most have an AVID microchip. Please email me with your answers to our reservation questionnaire, your family lifestyle, environment and what you can offer one of these great dogs. I will be glad to answer any of your questions. It is more important for us to find our dogs a good home than it is for us to just find them a home. They can all retire here on the farm, but they do get bored in retirement, as they are only 1 -6 years old. They should live another 15 - 20 years with good natural dog foods. We are asking 350 for the retired dogs.

We will retire Royal later this year. If someone wants to reserve him for their family we will gladly hold him until he is ready to go.

We also have Cookie, a very small, heavy-broken coat/light-rough coat girl. She is a young 3 also. Only 9" tall and cute as a button. She had trouble delivering babies so we are retiring her early. She is already spayed.

These pups are some of our puppies as they learned how to do stairs. They have all gone to their new homes. The back deck is part of their play area and where they learn how to do stairs.

Please go to the Reservations page to fill out our questionnaire to apply for a reservation spot and then call or email us to let us know you are interested and we can start at these talking points.

You can see pictures of Rocky, Beau, Little Ernie, and Katie on the Our JRT Clan page or the Planned litter page.

Please see our 'Planned litters' page for upcoming matches.

Please visit our 'Past litters' page to see the quality of our puppies.

One of the differences in pedigrees is that when you have long, proven histories of many generations of the same line of dogs, you are able to see a consistency in quality in the puppies these dogs produce. It is over a long period of time that breeders have protected these lines and are dedicated to keeping them pure and undiluted to ensure the quality for generations to come.

When you establish new bloodlines you have done years of extensive homework and research in digging into the family histories of the dog's grandparents, great and great-great grandparents and research the family environments these dogs were also raised in. Genetics plays the largest part in about 40%, nutrition plays 30% and environment plays 30% of what makes up a good dog and how that dog develops. How that dog is raised as a puppy will determine how he acts as an adult dog and what he teaches his offspring for accepted behavior.
