Conformation, show, performance, pet prospects...

What is the difference...  

Conformation Prospect ~ At the time of placement, your pup is examined by my vet and myself as being a worthy breeding animal a sound
representative of the breed. It means simply that he may carry the traits desired to later develop into a show prospect. These pups are sold on
co-ownership to ensure it is not being bought for breeding purposes only. It is understood that this is no guarantee; it is your gamble based on
your experience (and mine) that the puppy is going to mature into a show prospect and later a winning show dog.

Show Prospect ~ I feel a dog is not a show prospect unless he is pointed (AKC, UKC, IABCA). These animals are placed for considerably more than
conformation prospects and may be sold on open registration.

Performance Prospect ~ This puppy may be any of these prospects but also shows a strong drive in an additional venue such as obedience, agility,
herding, flyball, etc.

It takes a lot of time, training and patience to turn any dog into a winning show dog. I cannot guarantee you have the ability to turn even the best
puppy into a show dog.  I guarantee that your dog has no  physical
disqualifying faults but I do NOT guarantee as to if your puppy will mature to
your personal liking or your personal interpretation of the standard or performance.

Companion ~ This puppy may have a show disqualifying fault such as being too tall or too short or we may just feel that a family home is better
suited for him.  However, he or she will still make a wonderful addition to any family!
We realize that adding a dog or puppy to your family is a huge commitment that takes ample research before making a final
decision.  Please don't hesitate to ask us for references from other puppy owners, reputable breeders, or veterinarians.  We
are confident that our socialization and training makes for a very well adjusted new family member!
Please feel free to check the Nursery page to see any new litters that may have arrived!

At that time, we will move their information to this page.
