Q. & A. with Dusty
Why did you start breeding?
I was raised in a home showing dogs and I have loved every moment of it. Growing up, being involved with our breeding program brought me immense joy. As an adult I am excited to be able to start a program of my own and be able to do my part to preserve the breed I love so much.What makes your program special?
I strive to go above and beyond to ensure that each family gets the puppy that is perfect for their home. I work hard to ensure every puppy that leaves my home is well rounded and ready to become a loving member of your family and will excel at any task you place in front of them.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include fawn and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
Getting a puppy from Dusty
Dusty 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.

Price
Puppy prices include a $500 deposit and between $1,000 - $1,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“Pet Only puppies will go with limited AKC registration and a spay/neuter contract and will be $1500. We occasionally allow puppies to go with full AKC registration if they prove to be show/sport quality. These puppies are $2000. All puppies go home with their shot records, a puppy pack including toys, chews, and food samples. Each puppy will have their ears cropped, tails docked, and dewclaws removed. At 9 weeks, each puppy will undergo temperament testing so that I can match each puppy to the perfect home. I accept deposits of $500 after puppies are born. Your deposit guarantees your puppy. The deposit is generally non-refundable but in certain situations I can make an exception to this.”
Contract & health guarantee
Dusty may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase.
