Since we don’t over bred we usually stop breeding our girl around 4-6. If we kept everyone after they were finished breeding we would become a hoarder quickly. We take pride in keeping our number down and giving each dog the best life while they are here. We can only do that by retiring some of our beloved dog. It is also a great service to families that don’t want a puppy or young dog. These dogs are trained and ready for their next couch to cuddle on.
