Puppies

Placement Considerations

When deciding upon an Aircastle puppy, you will certainly want to consider the following: • Our aim is to produce future champions, though pets are generally available • No Aircastle puppy will EVER be placed for milling or mixed/cross-breeding! • Puppies not destined for exhibition must be altered just after their first birthday • Aircastle puppies are rarely placed before the age of nine weeks • All puppies are placed on contract, without exception! (Sample upon request) • As breeder, all selections will be based upon our placement preferences • Aircastle withholds the right of refusal on any and all placements • Tails will be docked, as per the AKC standard, unless otherwise requested for FCI • Puppies come with the first series of shots and their first vet checkup • A health guarantee will be offered as part of the sales contract • We offer a no questions asked return policy • We do not accept down payment, as nature is not nearly that predictable • Financing is available upon request and with interest

Upcoming Litters for 2025

Our beloved Grand Champion, Crystal, has aged out of the breeding program. So, she was replaced by Bridgett and eventually Nova. They are the two lines we are running at this time, though both of our girls must first reach their second heat cycle and undergo appropriate health and genetics testing. Bridgett should be due to come in season in April or May. We’re planning on using either Sneaker or Dante, contingent upon health and genetic testing of both. But so far, we haven’t made a final decision. Hopefully over the remaining six months, we’ll get a chance to get all the work done in preparation. Note that we can only use our males with Bridgett due to inbreeding considerations. (Bridget was a gift from Terri Creech of Bear Cove Standard Poodles and is not genetically related to the Aircastle line.) Choosing a sire is a serious task and takes months of planning to put together just that right combination. Once we decide who’s up first, then we will post this information here so we can show a prospective pedigree. Therefore, keep checking back to see how the progression is going.

No perfume is ever

so sweet as that of

a puppy’s breath

While everybody wants a puppy, there’s a certain value in rescue. So before you apply, may we recommend you avoid all the annoyance of puppy training and first go see who needs you to give them a home. In breeding purebred champions, we never entertain crossing or mix- breeding our dogs, and we recommend avoiding cross- bred puppies when possible. We believe in breeding an average of no more than one litter every two years, so our puppies are not often available because our goal is to instill higher quality, and not in producing scores of pets. Thus, we recommend you apply for a puppy long before a litter becomes available. We do not take deposits, but will hold completed application until we’re sure of a successful breeding. We also make referrals to other breeders whom we know, trust, and who share our breeding philosophy. Contact us and we will gladly make a recommendation.
