WATERDOG PUPPIES

WaterDog's Ebony Diva MH to
NFC AFC Dewey's Drake of Moon Rivers

Conception date: March 8, 2005
Birth date: approx first week of May
Delivery date: approx first week of July
Colors: black, yellow
Price: $1500, $100 deposit (non-refundable) to hold pick, total of $400 due within seven (7) days of confirmation of pregnancy
$400 total non-refundable deposit is due once breeding is confirmed.  You will be required to sign a sales contract at the time your full deposit is payable.  Puppies will not be held without a signed copy of this contract. 

Why we chose this breeding:
In a nutshell, we wanted to try something new and get some yellow puppies and possibly bring down the "highness" of Diva's previous breedings to Prize.  Diva's oldest puppies just turned three and are mainly hunt test dogs, some will be finishing their MH's this spring.  Her most recent litter, turning two this year, has some puppies running derby, some preparing for all-age work and several running hunt tests.

We feel strongly that Diva's looks and build complement Drake's and the pedigree cross is quite safe genetically.  Drake's owner Gary McIlwain explained that Drake was the most trainable of all of his FC/AFC's and that he has a wonderful temperament, sleeping in Gary's son's bed when Drake's at home.  Diva has a great temperament, never meets a stranger and has wonderful trainability.  We feel this will be a perfect cross with a similar dog, creating puppies that are equally fun to train and be around.

Diva's previous litters (two to Prize) have produced dogs with really fun, outgoing personalities.  They have all been extremely trainable with great attitudes in training.  While they can be slow to mature in some cases, once they come on, they are very strong teammates in the field.  And you just can't beat how enjoyable they are to have in the field and at home.  We're hoping the cross with Drake will not only produce yellows, but will also carry on these great traits from Diva's previous breedings.
