Taking orders for puppies

Oct 12, 2010 14 Replies

Momma (10 yrs old) gave us 5 puppies, her last (!) litter about 5 weeks ago.


2 males, 3 BIG females.

Smart as hell, friendly as can be, and pretty...really pretty.



We have about 4 more weeks before they will be available for adoption so get your orders in.


1/2 Golden Retriever, 1/2 Austrailain Shepard. With about 60 pups out in the world in the last 9 yrs..they have a very very good track record.

As usual..the requirements are:


  1. You must be able to treat these as family members. No putting them on a chain in the back yard and forgetting about them. These are Companion animals. Period

If you want a "watch dog" get one from the pound. These guys will protect you, love you, be your companions, even die for you..but they are not "yard dogs".


  1. No 1st or 2nd Generation Latinos. 3rd Generation and later, no problem. 2nd Generation MAY be acceptable but will require interview with me.


  1. You must be smarter than the dogs and be willing to work with them. They are incredibly smart and loving..but will need to be trained with the basics. The advanced stuff comes easy once you prove to them you are smarter than they are.

  2. Cost is...Free. But only to Good homes. They travel well..historically the pups LOVE to ride in the car, truck and motor home and go everywhere with you.


  1. They are located in Taft, California. Delivery to So. Cal may be possible. We have a decent small airport for those that wish to fly in as others have done to pick up their pups.

  2. Pictures will be available in a day or two.


  1. They MAY have their first series of shots, depending on the contents of my wallet when its time. Else you will be responsible for their shots. Id be happy to teach you how to do it, and shots are available from any feed and grain store, most pet shops etc. About for a 7 or



8 way shot. They will need 2 sets plus rabies shot before they are a year old.


  1. They started eating solid dry foods on their own at 4 weeks, though momma is filled with milk...she looks like a gray watermellon with spigots...



Momma slipped these in on us rather unexpectedly. We had figured Daddy dog (12 yrs) was simply too old to climb on ...and we were wrong.

If you really care about the animals, go find the local spay & neuter clinic and put a stop to the overpopulation.

No dog like an old dog! ;-)

I hope you've had your shots. We don't want them to get sick. :)

Good luck finding them the right homes, I'm too far away, and can't take proper care of a dog most of the time. :(

Dammit. Timing. We just rescued two loveable lap mop dogs.

I am heavy heartedly taking my Corgi tomorrow to be put down. He's ten. He bit me severely two days ago, for the tenth or so time. He has bitten my wife, daughter, SIL, and two police officers. I was removing a tuft of loose hair from his chest. I take coumadin, and thought I was going to have to go to the ER there was so much blood. He bit both hands, and a hard dog bite plain hurts. I cannot risk it with five grandchildren coming and going. I've gone past what a lot of people would have.

You'll find them good homes. Good of you to care about them so much. They are difficult to part with when they are loveable.

These guys take care of me.

Ive got Woodie and Sandie...who are now about 3 yrs old and my daily constant companions, both at home and on the road.

Good company..damned good company

Call me a grunge, but I prefer the company to most dogs I've had to most people I've known.

Im sorry to hear about the Corgie. They are often...flakey..but having shared your life with one for a number of years....

My respects

After ten years, and having him since he was a fuzzball, it is difficult. But then I feel just as much remorse as cutting loose a two timing woman. He's not trustable around my house with the kids, and letting him bite one of them after showing no reserve in biting me ten times would be like allowing a pedophile to stay here.

When it's time to go, it's time to go.

One assumes you have done the Tough Love thing with him?

He bites..and you beat him until he cant move and rolls over on his back in submission?

Some dogs periodically need that bit of Alpha reinforcement. You and all the other humans being the Alphas...and he a beta...way down in the pack?

Corgies...shrug...are known for being of that sort.

Might save a week or so and try it with him.

Let's see if you needed a dog to heard sheep or fetch ducks such a mutt may or may not work out, probably less likely to work out than a pure bread of either breed.

But for a family pet, frisbee dog, a friend to urge you to go on a walk when you should rather than sitting on ones rump, mutts usually are a superior choice. First off they tend to be a lot healthier, and seem to be very easy to train. Something about a larger gene pool seems to weed out a lot of breed specific problems.

I guess you don't know any pilots. To them, flying is reason enough to go somewhere. They think nothing of hopping in their plane and having lunch 200 miles away.

Gosh, reading what you write, one might assume you are of the opinion that climbing on momma ends with middle age.

Gummer can't afford internet service...

Yeah, he steals that, but he can get his animals cared for for free.

I tend to agree, most dogs at random are more enjoyable company than most humans at random. I'll even toss in kitties.

The last fellow that few into Central California for a pair of my pups, flew in from Washington State as I recall.

They are well known for being "special".

I got home from LA about 30 minutes ago..and the parade of pups and cats wanting to welcome Dad home was touching and heart warming.

And the pups took their turn in the proper order. They are hardly stupid. Very smart indeed.
