PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE AD! Puppies are AKC and ICCF registered. Their DNA profiles are on record with the AKC. We had a litter of 9 healthy puppies born on October 3rd. Mother of the litter is a beautiful fawn with a black mask. She is an absolutely gorgeous example of the breed. She weighed approximately 105 pounds prior to breeding. She is from a litter of 11 bred by me over three years ago. She has had her hips ( Preliminary Fair), elbows (Normal), heart (Clear), petella (Clear), and thyroid (Clear) tested. The father of the litter is a jet black male imported from Serbia just over a year ago. He is approximately 105 pounds making him a smaller male that more closely resembles the European breed standard. We had his hips (Rated A) and elbows (Rated 0) tested prior to importing him. He is grandson to international champion Gvido Sangue Magnifico. His mother and father are also both champions. The litter consists of four males (all black in color) and five females (one black and four brindles). Tails were docked and dewclaws removed. Puppies were given a colostrum supplement immediately after birth, for energy and to encourage nursing. Puppies have undergone the Superdog Early Neurological stimulation from days 4-16, which is supposed to help with brain development. Puppies are bathed and wormed weekly and are getting their nails trimmed regularly. They have had three sets of puppy vacations already. We use a high titer low passage vaccine that starts protecting puppies before their mother's antibodies ware off. We have never had a puppy contact pravo. Puppies are micro chipped and come with a lifetime registration. Puppies are DNA tested to show parentage. They are vet checked and ready to go. Puppies have a jump start on socialization. I began taking puppies with me to work at one week of age, where they were handled and bottle fed by my coworkers. Of course they returned home to be nursed by their mother. They are handled daily by my three small children. We have taken puppies to the pet store and to Lowes where we ask complete strangers to interact with them. Socialization and training is very important for this breed and should continue throughout their lives. We have exposed the puppies to different sounds including the vacuum and the banging of pots and pans. We have tried our best to give them the best start to life. We are currently looking for loving homes that will continue that adventure. We have three puppies available still: Black Male (Cropped ears. Very playful, active puppy)-$1300 Brindle Female (Natural ears, very active, energetic puppy)-$1000 Black Female (Natural ears. She recently had an allergic reaction to something. She broke out in hives and her fur started to thin on her neck. Possibly a food allergy. She has been treated with antibiotics and a skin scrape was done to make sure it wasnt something contagious or life threatening. The fur is starting to grow back. But may take a few weeks to fill in completely. She is just as happy and healthy as the others but we are offering her at a reduced price.) -$800 We would love to see puppies in their forever homes by the new year. We will entertain reasonable offers only. Please do your homework on the breed.
