As a breeder of purebred dogs, I’ve undertaken a huge responsibility. Consequently, I breed only infrequently and then only when I wish to keep a puppy for myself to show in conformation. It is my responsibility to conscientiously breed healthy puppies from health-tested stock as well as insure that they are nurtured and raised in ways which will enable them to reach their potential both physically and psychologically. AND I bear the responsibility of placing them in permanent homes where they will be loved, cared for, and protected. To that end, I require that each applicant for a puppy complete the questionnaire shown below. No puppy will be placed unless the questionnaire is fully completed and returned to me.

Applicants should know that each pet or companion puppy will be placed with a contractual agreement, an American Kennel Club limited registration, must not be bred and must be spayed or neutered not earlier than six months and not later than one year of age.

All puppies placed will have dewclaws removed and tails docked (at or about three days of age), wormed at least twice, and have all age appropriate immunizations as well as a health examination by our veterinarian prior to placement.

Puppies are expected October 19, 2009; both sire and dam have been health tested and are confirmed ARVC DNA negative. An all brindle litter is expected and all of the puppies will be ARVC DNA negative. Anyone interested in a puppy must complete the questionnaire below.

Ch Avalon's Excalibur of Turo has been bred to Bravo's Irresistible with puppies born December 15, 2008. Both sire and dam have been health tested with the test results available to interested applicants.
