Quest

For Sale: 6 month old female

Quest is still waiting for her forever human(s). She is a well balanced female; plenty of drives with a nice “off switch”. Quest is started in IGP tracking, obedience, and protection. We have plenty of videos of her doing all phases. She also enjoys our obstacle course.

Quest LOVES people, and is well behaved in public and in our home. As her name suggests, she is an adventure lover, and as a puppy gaining more confidence and independence, she is currently learning longline training.

We are NOT looking at offloading this beautiful girl. Her price will continue to go up as more training (and if need be) titles are put on her. Quest is DCM Clear by parentage (DNA tested), and comes from health tested and titled parents. You can see her pedigree here.

Quest is fully vaccinated, microchipped, CKC registered, and as you can see in the photos, has had her first grooming. She is also crate trained, and housebroken. She travels well in the vehicles, and walks well on a leash using a fursaver collar.

Ideally, Quest would go to a working or sport home where she can continue to flourish at what she’s bred for, however in fairness to her, we will consider an active companion home. If you’re interested in Quest, please complete our Potential Puppy Owner Questionnaire.

Zia is For Sale ~ Update!

Zia has moved to Ontario this weekend. Her new family has agreed to a three week trial period to make sure she is a perfect fit. So far, all is going very well. I will post on her permanent status on or before November 1st. Thanks to everyone who expressed interest in our beautiful girl. We certainly do miss her, but as always our commitment is to what’s best for the dogs.

Two-year-old Zia vom Lindelbrunn

Due to a rating of Mild hip dysplasia, we must remove Zia from our breeding program. To say this is disappointing is an understatement. $5000 to our door at 10 weeks old, and a further two years of feeding, vet care, health testing, training, and LOVING puts us in the hole a great deal. Zia is NOT free. The price for her is slightly more than we charge for our 8 week old puppies, and she’s highly trained, socialized, house broken, etc.

We prefer to keep her in Atlantic Canada, especially due to Covid. If her new home doesn’t work out, we want to be able to get her back in a timely manner. We are not in any position to self isolate for 14 days.

Zia LOVES people! She also loves to play ball, chase frisbees, swim, go for woods walks any time of year. She loves to cuddle, and is super well behaved in the house. She is quiet in her crate, whether travelling or for bedtime at home, she is not a complainer.

If you are serious about providing Zia with a loving home, please email me at ourpassion (at) leidenschaftkennels (dot) ca

Bitter & Sweet

This business, for lack of a better term, can be as heartbreaking as it can be rewarding. I recently told friends “breeding will make you crazy and poor”. Both are true, and then some. Such as sad, helpless, frustrated, mystified, and bewildered, to name a few more.

Two-year-old Zia vom Lindelbrunn

Last month we learned our beautiful princess Zia vom Lindelbrunn did not meet OFA standards for her hips.
We are working at placing her in a loving forever home.
That’s a bitter pill to swallow when you consider the cost of importing her from Germany, two years of feeding, vetting, training, and of course LOVING, only to discover she’s not breed worthy. This of course would be the heartbreaking part.

Even on the Sweet part of this business, there are many folks sad and disappointed this week as the puppies they’d wished for did not materialize. We are blessed with two beautiful girls, both of which we’ve decided to keep for the time being. Hopefully they’ll both be outstanding girls and will eventually replace their momma when it’s her time to retire.

Tiny little rant here; to the folks who say “wow, $2000 for a puppy, you must be rolling in it…” I’m here to tell you, it’s never about the money, because quite frankly the losses far exceed the income. For us, this crazy “business” is about Passion. We simply love what we do, why we do it, and who we do it for. Tam Out.
