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
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.
