Available Puppies
Budma x Maisie
Seven puppies! 4 male and 3 females
Budma is a sweet small, correct boy. He might even come out and do conformation, but for now he takes his job seriously as being a devoted family companion and enjoying the remote lake life. He is pretty chill, and paired with Maisie's ready for fun energy, should balance well. I expect small to medium (in size) dogs from this pairing. This will be a line breeding back to Dante and should set type and keep the size down. I love Budma's head, earset, coat, chest, angles and temperament. I love Maisie's rear, chest, coat, topline, and energy. One pup left.

Want to be a part of a program that helps provide families with a happy healthy pet companion?
What is a Guardian home or Co-own home or Partner family....?
A male puppy would be your dog. I would simply "borrow" him for a few hours, perhaps a few days to do stud service. A co own agreement usually last about 4 years.
A female puppy would be your pet, your companion, forever. She would live with you and be your dog. When she was old enough, and after she cleared all her health testing, she may be bred. She would continue to live with your during her pregnancy. But she would deliver and raise her puppies with me, under my experienced care. Once her puppies were weaned, she would come back to you.
My puppies are raised by moms that live as pets in homes loved by their owners, they don`t live in cages, crates or cramped kennels just waiting to be bred. Without co own homes I could not, would not be able to raise wonderful, beautiful healthy dogs for families. On occasion, if the co owner is able, works from home or is semi retired, I may allow and assist the co owner to do part of the puppy raising.
FAQ....how many litters...how long is she away from home...is there a discount for a second puppy...do I need to do anything special having a breeding dog...etc.
Most co owned female dogs have two litters, very rarely do I do three with a co owned girl.
If co owner isn't doing any part of the puppy raising, she will be away for about 6 to 7 weeks. You can visit her anytime.
I always offer a discount on a second puppy.
There is nothing "special" you need to do owning a co own dog, other than keep it healthy, socialized, well exercised and loved. Same as you would if it wasn't co owned.
I can answer all your questions. Also, I can give you references of current and past co owners.
The advantage to co owning...is, free health testing, you get the pick of the litter, you skip the waiting list, you may pay less than half the price for the best puppy of the litter, or you may get incentives for puppies or stud services. You also get bragging rights if I decide to show your dog.
If you are interested in become a Partner home (co own home), and would like more information, please email me at followmemas@gmail. com or find me on Facebook as Lisa T Hartjes. You can also join my Facebook Group Follow Me Canine Companions. Keep in mind I prefer my co own homes to be no further than 2 hrs away. I am moving to Arden in about 2 years so keep that in mind. I would welcome a partner family in the Kingston Frontenac area but I am open to other areas.
