Adopting a retired show dog can provide a well-socialized and experienced companion, accustomed to attention and busy environments. A retired show dog is well socialized, well cared for, and often are coming from multi-dog households so they really appreciate and enjoy all the individual attention from their new homes. However, if you are thinking of adding a retired show dog to your home, it is still essential to choose a responsible and ethical breeder who breeds with the intent of improving the Breed and will continue to support you throughout the life of your beloved companion.
Consider adopting one of our retired show dogs if:
Consider adopting one of our retired show dogs if:
- You want a beloved companion, but don't love the thought of raising a puppy so you prefer a mature dog that you know the dogs history and information about the dog's personality and temperament. Our retired show dogs come pre-spoiled, crate trained and house broken. Our dogs are part of our family and live in our home, so we know their quirks, health, history and personality and look for homes that match.
- You are looking for a dog already accustomed to public attention and handling by strangers. Our retired show dogs have "been there - done that". We have often traveled thousands of miles together to shows and performance events.
- You can identify and connect with a breeder who used positive training methods and is willing to place their retired dogs in homes. The decision to retire a dog from our program never comes easily for us. We develop strong bonds with all our dogs and we will ugly cry when they leave us. As with our puppy home placements, we will want to continue to stay in touch with our adoptable adults throughout their lives in their "retirement" homes.
