Litters

Cruaghaire Litters.

When we breed, it is to try and produce what 'WE' think is a great representation of the breed in terms of construction, movement, temperament, intelligence & looks using the breed standards as a guide.

We do however have a weakness for long stock coats just in case you hadn't noticed so the majority of our dogs and pups will be long stock coats.

To see some of our previous litters visit our Progeny Page.

Litter plans 2012.

Roxy has had puppies to the stunning V31 BSZS 2010 Watz von der Neudenauer Holzsteige

Watz is HD-SV: HD a-normal (a1) and is also haemo clear, Roxy has a BVA hip score of 13 and an elbow score of 0.

We have a litter of short coat sable and black and gold pups - 5 black and tan boys, 2 sable girls and a black and gold girl.

If you interested in a pup from this litter please get in touch.

We are also hoping to mate Tia in the summer of 2012 to the stunning Langfaulds Julius.

Jooles has a BVA hip score of 7 and an elbow score of 0 and is also haemo clear,

Tia has a BVA hip score of 9 and an elbow score of 0.

We will be expecting a litter of short and long coat black and gold pups.

We currently have a waiting list for our litters so if you are interested in a pup please get in touch.

All our parents are health tested for Hip Dysplacia ( Hip scored ) with results below 20 which is the breed average and we will also be tested for Elbow Dysplacia ( Elbow Scored ) with a result of 1 or less.

All our males will also be screened for Haemophilia A and will not be used unless clear of this disease.

You can check the results on the Kennel Club website Health Test finder or by phoning the kennel club.

We raise our puppies in our home surrounded by the normal hustle and bustle of a family so when they leave us they will be well used to the chaos that this brings. You must carry this on by means of training classes and walks to ensure your dog is a well balanced individual.

We don't have litters very often but we do have a waiting list so its good to get your details in early. It also allows you to come and meet us and our extended family before you get your puppy.

All our puppies leave home at 8 weeks of age and include;

	micro-chipping
	worming ( our pups are wormed every 2 weeks from birth )
	de-flea'd
	5 generation pedigree
	puppy information pack
	food pack to get you started
	*KC registered but they are endorsed as follows; not eligible for export, progeny not eligible for KC registration.* ( This means that our pups cannot be bred from unless they are at the very least hip scored and the results are below the breed average. In which case we will lift the endorsements, however please discuss this with us prior to purchasing a pup as not all dogs are suitable for breeding. We do this to ensure that only healthy tested stock with our affix can be bred from.)
	24/7 help and advice. (We will ALWAYS be at the end of a phone or an email, for the life of the dog)
	Vet checked ( All our pups are vet checked before they leave for their new homes but we do advise that you have then examined by your own vet. We are not infallible and things can sometimes be missed.)
	Socialised with other dogs and children. (There is NO such thing as too much socialisation. )
	We will also take back ANY of our dogs at ANY point during their lifetime.

Not everyone meets our criteria as a potential GSD family and so you will be asked lots of questions - hours you work, where you live, your experience with dogs especially GSD's so if you are not prepared to be grilled do not get in touch. We do tend to do it over a cup of coffee and a chocolate biscuit so don't panic it doesn't hurt too much !

We put a lot of time and effort into raising the best puppies we possibly can and we are very careful about where they go.

While we endeavour to meet the needs of each client in terms of coat colour and length but nothing can be guaranteed. Mother nature always has a surprise or two up her sleeves.
