Litter and program updates
Barb S.
Program update on 22 Dec. 2025 •…This is Lydia. She is 2 1/2 years old and was born right here in Spicewood. Lydia has retired from our breeding program - she had some issues with her first litter and had to be spayed. We have raised this girl since she was a baby and love her to death, but need to make room for another breeding female. We are looking for the perfect forever home for her. She's a little shy to warm up but once she does, she is just a love. She lives for kisses and balls. 😀. She is fully trained immunizations and is on heartworm and flea preventative. If you're looking for the perfect dog, but hate the "puppy stage" may be the perfect dog for you. She plays with our dogs constantly. I think she would get along well in a home with one other dog. She's not particularly fond of cats and has never really been around small children. She is fully AKC registered comes from championship bloodlines. We are asking $500 in order to make sure that she goes to the best possible home.

Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
