The more information you give me the better I will be able to match puppies and families. If you require a low shedding puppy, that will rule out some of the puppies from your selection pool. Temperament some dogs are better suited for first time dog owners. I temperament test the puppies so if you haven’t had dogs before we can match you with a puppy.
Coat Types
FF – Full Furnished
Little to no shedding. Will get snow balls and very dirty when outside. Everything sticks to this coat. Can be grown out with lots of brushing or kept short for a non-shedding low maintenance dog. Regular brushing needed for coat over 1/2 in.
Grooming every 4-8 weeks.
FI – Furnished
Low shedding but might make some tumbleweeds when kept long. Most likely will get snowballs but less than FF. Can be clipped short for low maintenance and low shedding. Can also be grown out and benefits from monthly deshedding, which will decrease matting. Regular brushing needed.
Grooming every 6-12 weeks.
II – Unfurnished
Will shed less than a Newfoundland, more like a setter to golden retriever. Best adventure dog coat will have guard hairs to repel snow, dirt and sticks. Can be trimmed up but not clipped short. Will require at least some brushing. Might get mats in ears and rear side of legs (feathering). Benefits from monthly desheds.
Grooming every 8-12 weeks.
