Started Dogs
When we have started dogs, we will post them here.
We currently have females from our 2024 litters that we have held back to train and observe. These girls are available as of 2025.
These dogs are a part of our family and we will be extremely picky where they go so that they have the perfect home for them. These dogs are not "first come, first serve". We are in no rush to find their perfect homes!
DARLA
DOB 5/27/2024
Darla is out of our River/ Bridger 2024 litter. She was originally donated for service work and it did not work out because she is better suited for a more active home. She can settle in the house, but really likes activity and daily training.
Our ideal home for Darla is an active home. She has medium drive and energy. She has a fantastic nose. She can settle in the house pretty well, but is happier when she has gotten to do training and activities. Darla is sleeping in a crate and has traveled with us well. She is on the smaller side and is more of a submissive female, but is very sweet and happy! She has been started on basic obedience such as sit, place, crate (sleeping through the night), and wait.
Darla has her hip, elbow and cardiac prelims done and passed. Parents are hip, elbow, eye, and cardiac tested.
She is is clear for everything on the GR Genetic panel and is UTD on vaccines
Price for her: $4500
Liv
DOB 07/12/2024
Liv is out of our Cali/Poncho 2024 litter. We held her back to start training! She has been with Nick- Canton Retrievers, for her obedience, FF, and CC training. She has been running land and water marks at the junior / started level and has 2 JH passes so far and 1 SHR pass.
Our ideal home for Liv is an active home. She has medium energy and drive right now. We thought she would have more energy/drive, but she is turning out a lot like her mom. She loves to go on adventures, but has learned to settle in the house. Liv is sleeping in a crate and has travelled with us to MT a handful of times. She has been pretty submissive settling back in with the other dogs, and loves to play. She has been started on basic obedience such as sit, down, place, crate (sleeping through the night), and wait.
Parents are hip, elbow, eye, and cardiac tested.
Liv has had her OFA prelim hip (good), eyes and practitioner cardiac checked and is Normal. Unfortunately, she did not pass one of her elbows (grade 1), but that shouldn't affect her ability to have a good quality of life as a pet.
Price for Liv: TBA- we would love to cover some training costs, but ultimately want to find her forever home more.
Sunshine
DOB 05/27/2024
Sunshine is out of our River/Bridger 2024 litter. We had originally placed her with a family, but life happened and they were not able to keep her, so we decided to take her back and start training! She has been doing fantastic and is currently training with Nick- Canton Retrievers for her obedience, FF, and CC skills.
Our ideal home for Sunshine is an active home. She has medium drive and energy. She enjoys playing and training, and can settle in the house. She is sleeping in a crate and has travelled with us to MT and did well. She is a confident and a very sweet puppy. She has been started on basic obedience such as sit, down, place, crate (sleeping through the night), and wait.
Parents are hip, elbow, eye, and cardiac tested.
Sunshine is genetically clear through her parentage.
Price for started dog: $6500
*We would consider a co-own for the right home that wanted to do sportwork or field work!*
Powder
DOB 11/21/2024
Ready Anytime
This sweet little girl was the last female born out of a small litter between Fin and Kona. We have named her Powder. She is granddaughter to our dear Izzy, who has done great therapy work as well as was great at upland hunting.
Our ideal home for this little girl is a family that has an active lifestyle. She should have lower drive and energy (once she matures out of the puppy phase). We have started basic obedience such as sit, down, place, crate (sleeping through the night), and wait.
Parents are hip, elbow, eye, and cardiac tested
Powder is clear for genetic testing!
Price: $4500
