Older
Pups for Sale
Why are your older
dogs not discounted? Because
they have been house trained, doggy door trained, crate
trained, quality fed, groomed, health monitored and responsibly
vaccinated and medicated as needed. Our older dogs
are given
ample socialization, mental
stimulation and they are taught basic commands and manners.
Our health guarantee is still valid until the age of three.
We love our dogs, continue to monitor
their
development, and
pay
attention to them as
if they are going to be ours for a lifetime. We are committed
to
our no-questions-asked return policy for any owner unable to
keep any of our dogs. We do not want any of our
dogs to ever end up in a shelter. We believe an older puppy
is
worth
more,
not less, than a younger puppy.
Pistachio
is an adorable tri-color ALD. She weighs 34 pounds at 7
months,
so taking her current weight as well as her parents' and grandparents'
weights into consideration, I'm thinking she'll be 40-50 pounds as an
adult.
Pistachio scored a 10 out of 10 in courage, self-confidence, learning
speed, sight sensitivity, play desire, and stability. She is
very
people focused, has excellent patience, great following, and had little
reaction to the loud sound. She is a 6 out of 10 for energy
level
and would do really great with an active family who will take her
everywhere and teach her many things. She will not do great
in a
really quiet family unless they are willing to do daily training
sessions.
The trainer wrote: "She was having so much fun!
From the
second
she got set down in the (testing) area, she was playful, energetic, and
very willing to do everything asked of her. When picked up,
she
settles in and loves to cuddle! She loved the strange dog, so
having
play times with safe dogs or doggy daycare would be very good for
her. She would also be excellent at obedience and agility."
Pistachio and her temperament test results have been
reviewed by 2
other trainers, and she could be trained as a therapy or service dog.
Pistachio is crate trained, sleeping all night (7-9 hours, depending on
when we get up), doing well on leash, learning to be patient at doors,
and doing extremely well with house-training, though you will need to
teach her which door to ask to go out at and keep an eye on her for her
first couple of weeks while she adjusts to her new home.
Pistachio spent several weeks with the trainer, and she is a really
smart girl who learns quickly! Her price reflects the training she has
had, currently $5500, but will go up if she goes back to the trainer
for more training later this month.
