Story
He was born March 24, 2023. The firstborn & only boy in a litter of 5. He is sweet, easy tempered, and loves affection. I have a hard time walking around cause he's glued to my side wanting to be near. He is about 60 lbs, has medium-long fur & was born with a short tail. Even with his thick coat, he does not like the cold. He does possess a flea bite allergy & requires oral flea prevention to prevent flare-ups. He is a jump enthusiast that part-takes in a bit of fence parkour. He will proudly shout to anyone near or far to give him attention. He looks intimidating but there hasn't been a single person or child that wasn't able to give him belly-rubs. The only concerning thing about him is his high prey drive that has sadly ended the life of a few chickens. He does know a few commands but only when he feels like it.

Story
She was born March 24, 2023. The second born in a litter of 5. She is sweet, very active, and loves playing fetch. She is about 50 lbs, has short fur, and was born with half a tail. She is on guard towards unknown individuals and will let you know if something is amiss. She is a jumping extraordinaire and could put Houdini to shame with her escape feats. I have to use either a heavy thick chain or an electric fence to keep her within the yard. She looks small but has a deep bellow in her bark that would scare even the bravest of people. She does have a high prey drive and has gone after chickens but was never successful. She exhibits dominant behavior and resource guarding against the other dogs but it has not caused problems. She is highly intelligent and learned commands fairly quickly. I feel she could do well in an environment where she protects the home is given more attention than what I can provide. Also, she is a heavy chewer.

Story
Looking for a beautiful dog? How about a smart dog with lots of energy for walks, hikes and play? You’re in luck: Bandit has it all. Besides being gorgeous, he is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and receiving preventative. He’s an adult with a puppy's playful personality (yes, that means lots of toys to keep him busy, besides an organized plan to make sure he gets plenty of exercise.). He’s smart, affectionate, and loves attention. He responds well to positive training methods and learns fast. He does not do well with cats, but loves people of all sizes.
