| 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! |

| Tri Color Male D.O.B. 10/16/08 UKC CH Simon x Cameo This boy is available as a pet. He is very outgoing, playful, and really enjoys his snuggles. We have introduced this pup to ducks to see his ideas about herding and although he didn't go right to it, he may decide he likes it a second time around. He was certainly not afraid of them! Our pups are very well socialized with kids an other dogs. |
All are current on vaccines, wormings, and have dew claws removed. They are well socialized with kids, other dogs, cats, and a rabbit. They are raised in our home where they can hear and see the a very active household! A couple of long car trips have already been made too! We would be happy to provide references that you can contact yourself and ask what you want to know! |
| Tri Color Female D.O.B. 4/25/08 Bo x UKC CH Jitterbug "Risky" is a fun and active girl. She is on the bigger side, crate trained, almost house trained and great with kids and other dogs. Risky was being grown out as a show dog by her previous owner who had to return her due to a personal situation. We would keep her ourselves but just have too many other youngsters to work with right now! |
