We are spaying and placing a lovely 2.5 year old female finished show champion into a pet home. This dog is fairly active and would make a lovely performance or companion event dog. NO health issues or allergies. A fenced yard is always a requirement for one of our country bumpkin dogs used to a large property.
Serious inquiries only, please.
I am slowly downsizing and reorganizing my ESS kennel to just 3 dogs, and I've sadly decided to place my two year old, happy go lucky fella Bodhi. He is about #48, strong, leggy and high energy. He will be neutered prior to placement. He doesn't have the gundog/hunting experience he should at age 2 (I'm just too busy), but he has the TALENT, is an eager and outstanding retriever and it won't take much to get him going. He is a fairly quiet dog (I used a bark collar for three days and voila - cured!), loves to go for rides in the truck, and spends about 3/4 of his time in the kennel, but would love to be a full or part time house dog. He is like his dad and very smart, loves to learn.
Joules came into season earlier than we had anticipated, sped up our fall litter plans and turned it into early July litter plans>> Joules (FC AFTW Macks X Tina) and Pod (FC AFC Sully X FTW SH Cate) - both are gorgeous, athletic, great legs, high drive, Pod is especially biddable. I have one reservation/deposit spot left for a male, then will make a waiting list.
GCHB Maverick and Gwynnie (needs 3 singles to finish her CH) had five gorgeous puppies on March 20th, the vernaequinox...so, we've given them the Rites of Spring litter theme. The puppies look great - strong, fat and no complications.
We care about soundness and the health of the breed. Our breeding parents are health screened prior to being bred. Our puppies are HEART, EARS and EYES checked by specialists prior to being placed. We use the Puppy Culture enrichment and development program to raise them.
NOTE: We are planning a second breeding this spring.
We were unable to get this handsome fella (Zephyr x Bodhi) out of Montana, after numerous attempts...and he is ready to go now. The eye contact in this litter is amazing, and this puppy would make a wonderful obedience dog or any sport that requires an all in, team player. He walked on leash through the airport parking lot, and busy, noisy terminal like a champ. Born on New Year's Day. Puppy Cultured, socialized, crate trained, vetted, sound, great temperament and gorgeous! $1300
We can ship to some locations, but not to any in the far east or south. We can use Alaska Air for everything west. Delta no longer allows connections for pet cargo, only one destination flights, and we can only fly to SLC and MSP now. Sadly, the new shipping regulations have made things complicated for those of us who don't live near major airports offering single destination options.
This gorgeous guy is going to be a dad again in March. Maverick is a Top 5 Sussex Spaniel and was #2 Sussex Spaniel in 2017. We have bred him to a GCH Frank and GCHB Marv daughter - who just needs a few singles to finish her CH. She is my #2 bitch after her mom, a lovely, long/low/level typey girl, on the small end size-wise.
Puppies are due March 20th. Very excited!
What a great gift, thank you!
Zephyr had a beautiful litter of field bred English Springer Spaniels born on New Year's Day (all spoken for). Storm has a litter due mid March. There are a couple puppy reservations available. These are final litters for both girls.
That's all we have planned for springers this year unless I can get Speck bred to the frozen Toby semen in Denver...maybe this fall.
It has been a painful journey through time as I revisit pedigrees and pictures of so many dogs, now long gone, but after 20 years with the same web server and host, it was time to enter the 21st century with a brand new look! I especially appreciate the mobile device capability.
I am still using the hellfiregundogs.com domain, but it will soon be forwarded to the new one >> MTHELLFIRE.COM.
