STAR is AVAILABLE!

After much consideration, we have decided that Star is not the right fit for our breeding program. Please read the entire post!

These decisions are not easy as a breeder, but I have vowed to breed the best dog's that I can for Service Dog work. Integrity is not always easy but I remember all the people who put their trust in me to find and breed amazing dogs that will change their lives and I know I am making the right decision here.

As most of you know who have been following me, we purchased Star from a breeder in South Carolina. She was to be bred when she comes of age to provide Service Dog quality puppies for us to train. While Star is absolutely gorgeous and has completely stolen my heart, she is unfortunately not comfortable in public settings. She becomes anxious when taken out for public training, and despite consistent work, this anxiety has increased rather than improved. She has all the qualities of a Service Dog other than not liking strangers approaching her. Because of this, we believe her happiest life will be one centered around home rather than frequent outings. Not all dogs make it as service dogs but in order to breed for Service Dog quality puppies we need our parent dogs to have the correct temperament and ability to be a service dog themselves before considering them to join our breeding program.

At home, Star truly shines.

She is:

Potty trained

Crate trained at night (10:00 PM – 7:00 AM)

Well trained and responsive to commands including sit, down, stay, heel, around, turn, and come

Currently working on an off-leash heel

Easy to train and highly food motivated

She has great home Manners. She does not jump on the furniture or people.

Very calm inside the house.

Star is wonderful with children, cats, and other dogs, and we feel she would do best in a home with another dog. She loves playing with and carrying around her toys, and she is a world-class cuddler—happy to snuggle in bed all day if allowed. She is incredibly intuitive and often comforts my daughters when they are upset.

Star is extremely calm especially for a 5.5 month old puppy. She would make an amazing in-home Emotional Support Dog and companion for someone looking for a loving, gentle, home-oriented dog. Star is available to an appropriate home that can meet her needs and provide a stable, low-stress environment. Star has all the qualities of a service dog besides joy liking strangers petting her.

Please let me know if you would like to schedule a day to come and meet her.
