Welcome to the

Nuthatch Litter & Puppy

Page

Here at Nuthatch we believe that every puppy should become an important member of a family. Puppies, like children, are a lot of work. They need to be trained, given proper medical care (vaccinations, etc), socialized, and, most importantly, loved. If you cannot make the time and money commitments necessary to provide the above then we think you would be better off with a different kind of pet.

We also believe in responsible breeding. A responsible breeder cares where his or her puppies are - for the duration of their life. Responsible breeders vaccinate and register their puppies. They provide health guarantees and do the appropriate health certifications on the parents prior to breeding them. For Siberian Huskies and German Shorthaired Pointers, those health certifications should include hip (OVC or OFA) and eye (CERF or SHOR) clearances. It is illegal in Canada to present an unregistrable dog as a purebred. It is also illegal to charge extra for papers for your puppy.

We occasionally have available young adult dogs for adoption and also foster dogs. Our fostering program, allows us to place young dogs in homes where they can enjoy all the privileges of being the only (or one of a few) pets in the house as opposed to being one of many here at the kennel. The dogs may have finished their show careers and be beginning their careers as stud dogs or brood bitches. They are fostered with a family throughout their show and breeding career and then permanently retired to the foster family. Most of our foster dogs are females who are less than two years old. To learn more about our fostering program, please visit our fostering page or email us.

Having said all that, Nuthatch is pleased to announce the following upcoming litters:

German Shorthaired Pointers

Becca (Am Can Ch Shomberg N Partridge Run Tribecca) has been bred to Dundee (Am Can Ch Nuthatch's Snowy River Rider) . Puppies were born October 25. We have one female and 2 males still available from this litter. Pictures coming soon. Pedigree.

Priority will be given to the homes that will love and care for them best. Would I like you to show/field test/compete with your dog? Absolutely! but my priority is loving homes first and foremost.

Please contact us for further information.

Reservations are strongly recommended as we usually have a waiting list.

Young Adults & Rescues Looking For Homes

Dogs Available For Fostering

Dundee - 2 yr old male - Am Can Ch Nuthatch's Snowy River Rider - is available on a co-ownership to a show home or as a foster dog to a home willing to keep an intact male. He is very friendly and easy going and gets along well with male and female dogs. He loves people of all ages and sizes. He is a high energy boy with lots of field potential. He is OFA Hip (Good), OFA Cardiac Clear, CD clear by parentage and CERF clear. His first litter is maturing nicely and showing great potential.

Cello - approx 9 months old female; I'm really hoping she'll get a touch taller in which case I would want to finish her championship in Canada and possibly have a litter with her. She is a fun-loving, high-energy clown - very much like her mother, Shiraz.

We are planning to foster puppies from our litters this year. Please email us for more details.
