Available Dogs
Occasionally we have adult dogs available. While we do NOT broker adult dogs, or grow dogs out specifically for sale as adults, we do every now and then have a grown out prospect we have decided not to include in the breeding program or a retiring adult dogs, who would be better situated in a new home.
Because we have a lifetime return policy for every puppy we place it also happens that we may have a dog available because their current owner cannot keep them. There are a variety of reasons for this, from job loss, divorce, health problems, or a mismatch of dog and owner needs.
At this time all our own dogs are raised in our home, none are kennel raised or living in the kennel. This means are all socialized to home life, have basic house manners, are house trained, and ready to make someone an excellent companion.
We no longer have any cats as my two seniors passed in 2023 and of course there are only adults living here now, so the current dogs have not been exposed to either.
Established Clients always have priority placement consideration for adult dogs and may request an adult dog even if they do not live locally.
All other adult dogs will only be placed within a 3 hour drive of Tulsa (or the city the dog resides in) and you must visit in person a few times so we (and you) can determine if the match is good for all involved. This also allows you and the dog to get to know each other before the dog is transitioned to the new home.
All OUR adult dogs will be:
1. Home raised and currently living full time in our home with other dogs.
2. Healthy, current on vaccinations, heartworm prevention, worming, flea/tick prevention, and with no known undisclosed medical considerations, full health records maybe requested from our vet to your vet.
3. Behaviorally sound with no known undisclosed behavioral problems, quirks, or challenges. Multiple visits for new clients required so you can get to know the dog before making a decision. All dogs are crate trained, manageable at the vet, pleasant and sociable with visitors unless disclosed otherwise.
Adult Dogs In Need of New Homes
Occam v d burg Austerlitz
Kiro x Andeigh
AKA: Ennit:
Male: 4 years
Resides in: NE Oklahoma
Ennit is a young adult male who is in need of a new home because he's become predatory towards stock, feral cats, and is now not really safe in his current rural home with lots of different type of stock, outdoor and indoor cats, and small dogs.
To be on the safe side Ennit MUST be placed in a pet free home in a typical suburban area where he will not have access to backyard poultry or pet birds, mini goats, pet rabbits or other pocket pets, cats or small dogs. We want to ensure Ennit's next home is perfect for his needs and prevents him from getting into trouble because of his prey drive. So please do not apply if you have other pets or livestock.
Ennit has lots of merits!
Health: He is the picture of health and has had excellent health care and training. He is neutered/gastropexied and current on all the things.
House Manners: Ennit is excellent in the house, has great manners, is not destructive and is a beloved and mannerly companion.
Socialization: Ennit travels really well, has gone lots of places, is well socialized, well traveled, and is good in the car, at the vet, and etc.
Sociability: Ennit loves people, he is confident, friendly, and mannerly with visitors and family members alike.
Children: Ennit loves the family children and is a rock solid and trustworthy companion/protector for them. Homes with school age or older children will be considered.
Dogs outside the home: Ennit is completely fine with dogs "out in the world" he is neutral, not reactive, and walking him, taking him places and etc is fine. His owner and ourselves are just being sure to err on the side of caution because we want to ensure this placement works for everyone. So, single pet homes only! If you have a large socially savvy dog and feel confident with adult dog introductions you can speak with his current owner about it, she knows him best.
Skill Level: Easy, provided the lifestyle is correct for his needs.
Literally the only reason he needs a new home is that his rural home is not suitable for his prey drive and has caused problems with stock, outdoor cat, and a snark with a newly introduced small dog, and presents a potential future danger to the family's stock and other pets.
Ennit is a fabulous companion and once situated in a home that is a good fit for him I think he will make someone an absolutely outstanding companion.
We will be handling the preliminary interviews for Ennit before connecting those interested in him with his current owner for introductions and further discourse.
Ennit resides in NE Oklahoma, please be prepared to travel to the Tulsa area to meet Ennit!

AKA: Luca
Intact Male: 1 year
Resides in Colorado
Luca is a stunning black sable dreamboat!
Health: Luca is healthy and current on all age appropriate health care. He is intact with AKC Limited Registration.

Socialization: Luca is well socialized, travels well, and goes places with his family without problems.

Children: Luca is excellent with the family children.
Dogs: Luca lives with two other dogs without any problems, he is neutral with dogs outside the home, and has no dog related behavior problems. Luca is suitable for a home with a resident dog provided that dog is open to new friends and the new family commits to using the Wise Mind Canine dog introduction protocols or works with Katie to ensure the introduction goes smoothly.
The only reason Luca is being rehomed is because of changes in his family's situation, he has no behavior problems, he is great with the family, and has been well cared for and loved. He is suitable for a wide variety of lifestyles, sport, and training.
We will handle preliminary inquiries about Luca before forwarding you to his owner for more information/meet ups/ and etc.
Luca resides in Colorado, please be prepared to travel to Colorado to meet Luca!
Available Dogs Residing With US
Kim v Holtgrew
Intact Male: 2 years
AKA: Kim
Resides in NE Oklahoma
We purchased Kim as a breeding prospect so he has had a complete set of health screenings, all normal except for a subluxated (loose) hip that did not certify as suitable for breeding. For that reason alone he is being considered for placement because we really love this big goof.
Kim is a beautiful, large, powerful male in excellent health. He is intact, current on all his health care, and has an excellent pedigree.
Kim is great in the house, is mannerly, good with female dogs (we keep our intact males segregated once they are mature) and he was great with the other males until we moved them to crate/rotate as mature breeding age or currently breeding this just decreases tension and is not done because Kim or the others were not good together. Kim is indifferent towards Toni Poodle who is old and grumpy, and Kim is playful and appropriate with all the girls even the little beagles.
Kim takes about 5 minutes to warm up to new people and he is indifferent until he warms. He is very affectionate, cuddly, and playful with our family. His energy level is medium and I consider him an easy going dog who settles easily and requires only moderate exercise and enrichment to be happy.
Kim is quite fit, fast, and playful. He is a good lite sport prospect suitable for all kinds of fun things from rally obedience, to scent work, to fast cat he has no restrictions on his activity due to his loose hip other than common sense limits (so he's not a great agility, dock diving, jogging prospect). He is very active, agile, and completely sound. He is green as far as training goes, he doesn't really need any training to be a great companion so he just has life skills right now. He is easy to teach, finding food, toy, social interaction all to be strong reinforcers he will be a blast for anyone who enjoys training but he's manageable and pleasant without advanced training.
Kim enjoys doing stuff, hiking, exploring and all the things GSDs love, but he's also very happy to just hang out too, he has a typical GSD medium energy level.
It is a good idea to keep him on his Omega 3 and oral joint supplement, as well as keeping him in a healthy weight and doing regular basic range of motion games to protect his loose hip going forward. At this time there are NO changes, no arthritis, to his loose hip it's possible he will stay this way long term and have no problems with that hip until he's much older and age related changes start. Films are of course available upon request.
Kim travels well and overall I would consider him an Easy level dog suitable for most GS fanciers and a wide variety of situations. Contact us if you are interested!
Fire
Intact Female: 2 years
Resides with us in NE Oklahoma
Fire is a two year old daughter of Frankeigh and Iveigh who we held back as a breeding prospect. Fire has had a complete set of breeding fitness health testing and she did not pass her orthopedic testing with one subluxated (loose) hip with some minor changes.
While we really love this girl we also believe that each dog deserves a chance to be someone's companion instead of being "one of many" here so we are looking for Fire's special person or family.
Fire is healthy, very fit, and relatively easy going for a healthy adult GSD. She is great in the house, crate trained though she rarely needs crating, and she has no behavior problems at all. She's a wonderful, affectionate, and cuddly house dog. Despite her formidable appearance Fire is quick to warm up to visitors and is indifferent of people and dogs out in the world. She's easy to walk, travels great, and is good for veterinary care. She doesn't like having her nails trimmed and maintaining her scratchboard training is important because her nails grow fast. Fire can get herdy/pinchy to the other dogs when we come home and she’s excited. In a multi dog environment I would suggest crating her when you leave to avoid her herding your other dogs when you come home. That’s the only context in which she does that.
Fire is happy as a companion, she enjoys learning and is a good prospect for low impact activities such as hiking, scent work, rally, etc. She will benefit from continuing with her range of motion and strength games, which we do at home and would like to see continued to protect her hip as she ages.
She is perfectly sound, active, and fit at this point and aside from basic hip care (appropriate exercise, healthy weight, oral supplements) she should do well with her orthopedics as she ages.
If you might be interested in Fire just contact us!
