        Pups from past litters to show you a preview of what's upcoming this year!
Not all colors will be available, but this is the range of colors our dogs can produce.
We will have several new litters this year from our fabulous Salhaus & Stone River Dogs! 

All of our parent dogs are really even tempered family dogs & are wonderful 
watch dogs & guardians as well. 

We've had generation after generation of incredible dogs result from our parent dogs. 
All of our girls can be traced back to our original pair from over 30 years ago. 

We don't put 2 purebred dogs together just because we can. We know exactly what's behind 
each of the pups we produce, as far as temperament, structure, health & beauty, due to knowing 
the parents, grand parents, great grand parents & on back for 30+ years! 

 Above are samplings of the pups we've had over the past few years. 
Most of our 2024 pairs will give us black & tans, black & reds, and black & silvers. 
On the off chance, we "MAY" have solid black, solid blue, blue/tan or whites. 
Regardless of their color, they will be gorgeous! Most will be short coats. 

Parents have been DM tested, Embark Tested, DNA certified, Penn Hip and/or OFA certified.

So many of our girls get mistaken for males! 
We take that as the best compliment!
"Bastian"
"Kona"
We will have new pups by our sweet boy Bastian & our loyal girl, Kona! Both have fabulous personalities! Bash is a happy guy. Very discerning. But when a stranger approaches, he makes his presence known! His puppies will inherit his wonderful personality! Kona has a wonderfully confident nature & is always looking to please! She is a daughter of our incredible pair, Stone & Gray! Both are really even tempered family dogs & are wonderful watch dogs & guardians as well. Crossing Bash to our Salhaus girls has proved to be the best of both bloodlines! Bash comes from a long line of well bred, family dogs with wonderful temperament & good health. This is a repeat breeding of Bash & Kona. Their past puppies are incredible. We know that breeding these 2 will result in more wonderful family pups, just like we've had for generations back!  We expect the majority of these pups to be 
short coated variations of black & tan, and solid blacks.  They will be gorgeous, classic!

 Let me introduce "Vienna!"
She is a young adult female, Stone River/Salhaus girl. Her dad is our fabulous (retired) stud, Stone. Vienna is located in the Sacramento, CA area. Her owner is moving out of state & cannot take Vienna with her. She recently lost her husband & works as a nurse, odd hours & lots of hours. Vienna deserves more time than her owner can give. She's one of our smaller girls, weighing about 70 lbs. She is crate-trained & is good with farm animals. She hasn't been around a lot of other dogs, but has recently played well with a male that was mellow. She's leash-trained & travels well. She heals beautifully on walks. She sits & waits at crosswalks before asking to cross. She is whisper command trained. Super smart & obedient. Spayed, up to date on shots/worming. If you didn't want to go the puppy route, this beautiful gal could be just what you need.
