Occasionally, I will offer an older puppy, young adult or retiree for sale to the right home.
The reasons for placement range from space considerations to lack of the right attitude or conformation for showing to failure to meet rigorous health certifications necessary for breeding.
None of which reasons preclude these dogs from being wonderful companions, and they are happy alternatives for those families whose lifestyles are not suitable for a younger puppy.
All dogs will be crate and leash trained and have received current vaccinations, heartworm preventative and adequate socialization.
