  You can compare Aspen Ridge Kennels breeding program to a "small speciality store". We are specializing in the breeding of fine quality bird dogs for the foot hunter, that make wonderful additions to your family. Not wonderful family members that may make a nice hunting dog. We are dedicated in the breeding of only dogs, that we have take the time to evaluate in both hunting and training scenario's. The following criteria must be met:
If we use and "outside" Sire or Dam we apply the same criteria in their evaluation, including hunting behind them. Aspen Ridge will only place puppies in a loving and caring home we take this job VERY seriously, we will ask you questions of you when you reserve your new member of your family:
Each litter that Aspen Ridge Kennels produces will have a "Breeding Restriction" registration, that is offered to us through NAVHDA. This means that when you receive your pup from Aspen Ridge our names will still be on the registration, once you pass a NAVHDA Prize 2 Utility we will consider taking the Breeding Restriction off your companion, you will then receive a new registration for your companion with your name solely on it. We feed only "Purina Pro Plan" products, up until our puppies are 2 years old we feed Purina Pro Plan Puppy Food for large puppies (chicken & rice). We highly recommend that when you get your new puppy home that you continue feeding " Purina Pro Plan". After they turn 2 years old we start them on "Purina Pro Plan Performance Dog Food", we were feeding another brand a 4 years ago and switched because of the protein content, have had great results in our puppies as well as dogs using Purina Pro Plan products.
Our puppies are $800.00 (US Funds) since we place our puppies in homes on a "first come, first served" basis we require a $200.00 deposit (which is included in the $800.00 selling price). The balance must be paid prior to the ship or pick up date (more details are in the contract). We will be refund the deposit if we cannot deliver the desired puppy or move you up the list for the next litter depending on your wishes. There may be other circumstance's that the deposit will be returned, however, this will be handled on a case by case basis. When sending in your deposit, please down load and print the "Puppy Contract" and send in with your deposit. We will send you a copy back with our signature. There are additional costs which will be priced prior to the time of departure. If you would like to drive and pick your puppy up, we can make arrangements to meet you to lessen your drive. Airlines also allow you to take a puppy on board with you as long as it is kept in a soft sided crate that can fit under the seat. However, these arrangements must be made with the airline when booking your flight, they will charge an extra carry on fee. Our litters will be registered with: NAVHDA, F.C.I, the largest international registry, you will also be able to register your puppy with the Field Stud Book if you would like to do NSTRA Trials. We want to have an on going relationship with you and your new puppy. If at any time you have a question, concern or need help training. We will never be too busy to help answer any question or give advice. Please see our "Puppy Program" for complete details on what the first 8 weeks of your puppies life will be like. |
