We are tentatively planning our next litter for late 2027, pending health testing and clearances for Penny. While still a little ways off, I am excited about the possibility of this pairing and what these two dogs could bring together.

We are expecting smart, active, outgoing puppies, likely in the 19–24 inch range, with the possibility of both black and brown puppies.

This pairing should produce dogs who enjoy having a job, being involved in their family's activities, and getting out to experience the world. These puppies will likely do best in active homes where dogs are part of everyday life. Think camping trips, hiking, outdoor adventures, or simply having a dog who is always ready to come along. I would also expect some lovely performance prospects for homes interested in pursuing dog sports.

The prospective sire is an eight-year-old boy who is still very much full of life. He is an incredibly active, forward dog who can happily hike for days and thrives on daily mental and physical stimulation. He is confident, outgoing, has never met a stranger, and is not easily bothered by much. He also has plenty of prey drive and a busy, enthusiastic approach to life.

Penny brings a slightly different but equally lovely set of qualities. She is very handler-focused and absolutely loves to learn. She is always up for trying something new and genuinely enjoys working with her person. She is the kind of dog who wants that connection and partnership, which makes her a particularly exciting prospect for performance homes.

I am looking forward to seeing how these qualities come together. My goal is always to produce sound, healthy, versatile dogs with lovely temperaments, who can be equally happy as active companions or out doing something with their people.

If you are interested in a puppy from this potential late 2027 litter, please feel free to reach out. I am always happy to chat, share more about my dogs and plans, and get to know prospective homes. There is no commitment involved in an initial conversation, and I would much rather take the time to find the right match than rush the process.
