Getting a puppy from Jenna
Jenna has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
Jenna partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 7 weeks old.
"All of our puppies are tested with the Volhard Puppy aptitude test. Each family is provided with a questionnaire to get information on everyone, including other pets owned, activity level,and special interests. We use all of that information in addition to structural evaluations to determine which Puppy fits best with which home. If we have two similar puppies you may be given a choice between the two. Additionally, if you have a few favorites from the litter, you can share that with us i and we will do our best to place one of those puppies with you. We make no promises, but we will do the best we can to place one of those puppies with you. "
Price
"Please inquire for price. Our deposit is $500 before the puppies are born and that sort of “secures your spot” and I know you are ready to commit to getting a puppy from us. The deposit is not refundable if you change your mind; however, if you want a puppy from a certain litter and we do not have a puppy available for you in that litter, I will give you the option of having the deposit refunded, transferring the deposit to our next litter, or transferring your deposit to a breeder friend (who is similar to our breeding program) if they will have puppies available sooner. Keep in mind that you can choose the sex of the puppy beforehand if you have a strong preference one way or another, but I want to make sure you know that I choose which puppy you will be getting based on temperament testing and structural evaluations... if you have a favorite or 2, you can let me know.... I make no promises, but can keep it in mind in case there are 2 that I think would be a good fit and one happens to be a “favorite”, I will do my best to match that puppy with you."

Litter and program updates
Jenna S.
Program update on 11 Feb •…We had a person back out on one of the boys I the litter. Personality description: Light Blue Boy has a easy going personality. He’s the kind of puppy who is comfortable doing his own thing and isn’t easily rattled by new sights, sounds, or activity around him. He did not show sensitivity to noise or visual tests and generally approached new situations calmly and without drama. He is not overly needy or clingy with people — he tolerates handling and cuddling well, but he’s not a “velcro” puppy who constantly demands attention. His engagement style is more quiet and self-directed than attention-seeking. That independence often grows into a very stable, level-headed adult temperament. He shows low prey and chase drive, didn’t get worked up over thrown objects, and has a higher pain tolerance, which usually goes along with a fairly resilient, even-keeled nature. I would say he is calm and at the same time self-confident.

Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Shoulder Osteochondrosis
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
