Shadow Creek Kennels Shaddow Creek Kennels is located in Pittsburg Kansas. The web site is www.shadowcreekkennels.com I searched and searched for a female who would be on the smaller side, but not a "t-cup", when full grown. I looked in California and was quoted 2500 to 4000 for a female with restricted reg's. I then expanded my search to other states and found Shadow Creek. I had no idea what UDSA meant, I'll be honest... I thought it was good. :confused: I am picking up my girl on Jan 10th... Should I be concerned? I have really enjoyed the communication I have had with Pam, the breeder. She has taken pictures for me at my request and been very helpfull, she gives one year on the health and really seems to care about her dogs... They are microchipped and have started vac's. My lil girl, due to age will have her rabbies as well, as she will need that along with her health cert to fly home with me. I guess I am posting in hopes that one of you gals knows the breeder or can pull a report on them, I would be curious to know if they are as good as I think they are... In the future, I will look to the show breeders here on YT for my next lil girl. I will be wanting a show prospect. Is that bad?? Buying a show dog? Is it not as great as breeding and producing your own? hmmm, I wonder... Any info on Shadow creek?? |
I have contacted them before to and they are very nice. All I can say is that all their male studs are breathtaking. :thumbup: |
I do not know them, but checked out their web site you provided. They seem to have a good health guarantee. They have 24 females - wow that's a lot. This is why they must be USDA - probably. Some of their females are from Hungary - and go back to New Deal and Camparis. Maybe someone on here knows about them. Good luck with your new baby! :) T. |
So far sounds good.... I can't wait to see other posts when I return home from work... After reading about the USDA thing, I really started to worry about my pick... but like I said, I really felt good about it at the time... Thanks for all of your help! |
In their contract it says that the puppy will be free of genetic defects and mentions hip displaysia (which i thought occured in older dogs.... but this guarantee is only for one year ... and if it does occur in only older dogs than it wouldnt make much sense to sell pupies with this as a guarantee because of course they arent going to get hip displaysia until they are older) and NO luxating patella (i thought this was genetic) :confused: can someone elaborate please????? is LP genetic? and does Hip displaysia occur in younger dogs as well :confused: (sorry... im totally clueless) On the plus side, at least they give you a guarantee.... some breeders give you 24 hours |
They're really expenisve! |

USDA registered breeders cannot keep their dogs in their home. I don't know if you knew that or not, but I think it's an important thing to keep in mind. I personally would never buy from a breeder who is registered w/ the Dept of Agriculture because I would want a baby who is home raised and coddled as a puppy. It's almost certain that USDA reg breeders do not do this as their dogs are in separate facilities from their home and they have too many of them. It is very important to visit the home of any breeder from which you will be getting a puppy (let alone a very expensive puppy). I highly suggest you see where your dog was actually born. |
I also forgot to mention that anybody on the planet can post cute pictures and make/pay someone to make a webpage. I would be very careful. |
I think they have adorable sweet little puppies! I don't think the prices are that bad at all either...I paid $1500 for my female and I'm in Michigan! I do suggest a visit though...I have no problem with the dogs in a kennel as long as they are babied. I have gotten puppies from people that have the pups in their homes with horrible socialization skills. It really depends on the breeder so a visit would for sure show how the puppies react to people! :D :D Also, I LOVE all the stuff they through in with the puppies. So very thoughtful! The only thing I have ever received from a seller is food...I think that is very thoughtful of them! |

Usda USDA rules are suppose to promote good care..I do not see it. I am told as others posters mentioned, they dogs can not be kept in the same living area as humans. They must live in a separate kennel building..even newborn pusp and dams. I think the prices are very fair..it is your gut feeling. Mine is to always to the breeder..planes fly everywhere. best wishes |
You may want to check this page out. I think I would ask for a bile acid test prior to bringing the pup home, even if I had to pay for it myself. http://www.tsfannymaelivershunt.com/...eStampley.html |
