Priority area for placements is the Pacific Northwest.  This includes Oregon, Washington and surrounding states that are within our reach.  We do not ship or transport our dogs.  We do consider homes in Canada within the Washington and Idaho regions.  Easiest way of thinking of our area would be within 10 hours driving distance from Portland Oregon.

Please do not call me for detail on a specific dog.  Those questions are dealt with by email.
This will allow me to stay focused on the work that I need to do in caring for these little guys.
Once I have reviewed your application I will be contacting you at the email you have included in the application.
