If you need to pay by Credit card/use pay pal

If you can't afford these prices last pick of the litter is (sometimes) available for $900

I do sell to breeders on occasion the breeding contract is strict and conditional!!: Breeding dogs are $1500 for females, $1,800 to $2,000 for males See Breeding contract here

Puppies are shipped around 8 weeks, or if you are able to pick up the puppy at the age of 7.5 weeks. Also after one vaccination and a vet check. (do not use yahoo mapping for directions I will email them to you the map quests, always take you down level B- unmaintained mud roads to my house that the locals don't even use them unless they are feeling lucky...)

Shipping puppies via- airline:

If you cannot pick up your puppy and he/she needs to be shipped, don't worry. All puppies have gotten to their destination safe and sound:) Vet checks are important when you get your pup, but ask your vet first if any dogs with Parvo have come in the last month .

I take care of all details of shipping your puppy. All you would need to do is pick up your puppy at the airport.

The cost for the crate, extra certificates, airline fees, at this time is $350 above the original cost of the puppy. So if your puppy is $1200 he will be $1550 with shipping.

All puppies are given one 7-way shot as well as getting wormed a minimum of four times with two different wormers, Strongid -T and Panacure. These are used to vaccinate twice until the new standards came out on vaccinations (see bottom of page) that the must be at least three weeks apart to be useful and no earlier then 6 weeks for the first shot that would be at least 9-10 weeks for second shot so that needs to be done at your end unles I keep baby for training

Payment schedule can be provided if need be, total puppy price is due before delivery.You have ten days to return the puppy for a full refund. Older pups 5-7 months with training all done and hip x-rays already done(good vets can find HD by four months) will cost at least 3000$ Large discounts are offered for therapy/or assistance dogs./rebates for obedience/training titles and certifications.

Vaccinations: All Veterinary Schools in North America Changing Vaccination Protocols

Recent editions of the Senior Dogs Project's newsletter have reported on the ever-broadening trend of eliminating vaccinations for adult dogs, except for rabies, where required by state law.

We have now had a report that all 27 veterinary schools in North America are in the process of changing their protocols for vaccinating dogs and cats.

Here, in a nutshell, are the new guidelines under consideration:

"Dogs and cats immune systems mature fully at 6 months. If a modified live virus (MLV) vaccine is given after 6 months of age, it produces immunity, which is good for the life of the pet (i.e., canine distemper, parvo, feline distemper). If another MLV vaccine is given a year later, the antibodies from the first vaccine neutralize the antigens of the second vaccine and there is little or no effect. The titer is not 'boosted' nor are more memory cells induced.

"Not only are annual boosters for parvo and distemper unnecessary, they subject the pet to potential risks of allergic reactions and immune-mediated hemolytic anemia. There is no scientific documentation to back up label claims for annual administration of MLV vaccines. Puppies receive antibodies through their mothers milk. This natural protection can last 8-14 weeks. Puppies and kittens should NOT be vaccinated at LESS than 8 weeks.

Maternal immunity will neutralize the vaccine and little protection (0-38%) will be produced.

"Vaccination at 6 weeks will, however, delay the timing of the first highly effective vaccine. Vaccinations given 2 weeks apart suppress rather than stimulate the immune system. A series of vaccinations is given starting at 8 weeks and given 3-4 weeks apart up to 16 weeks of age.

Another vaccination given sometime after 6 months of age (usually at 1 year 4 months) will provide lifetime immunity."

I do agree in part adult dogs should only be vaccinated once every three years with Rabies shot!
