We are currently seeking a family to sponsor two adult females, continue to read on for more information.

Have you heard about our "Show/Hosting Program"?

Our unique "Hosting Program" affords local families to love, pamper, spoil, raise and care for our pick pups that we keep as part of our world-class breeding program. Unlike most breeders, we do not utilize an indoor/outdoor kennel facility or run a 'show mill', instead, we offer our very best potential show pups and selected adult companions to local families. We do this so that they may enjoy the benefits of owning a world-class bred canine companion without any cost to them. Our program dogues often serve as ambassadors for our breed. This program is only available to local families that live within a 50 mile radius of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota. These companions are full time house companions just like ours! If you or your family are professionally employed, a permanent resident of the Twin Cities and are lacking the companionship of an outstanding family canine companion, then please contact us for more information regarding our unique program.

If you would like to be considered for adopting one of our ‘program’ girls then please call us direct, (651) 436-4984. We are always looking for loving families/individuals for this award-winning program! We offer reimbursements & financial awards for being active in showing, obedience, agility, therapy work or canine good citizen involvement. Remember that our ‘program’ girls/boys are only available to those persons living within a 50-mile radius of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota.

*** We are currently interviewing families for 2 older females that we desire to keep together. They are both house broken, fully trained, fully health screened/tested, well suited for family life (children, young or older). They are 2 & 5 years old respectfully. A fenced yard is a must for these pals. Call Mark Roberts direct to set up an appointment to meet these girls.

Wondering what our "Show Program Contract" might look like? Continue reading on to see a sample of our contract.
