Dantero Kennels Litter Announcements

If you are interested in a pup, please fill out the puppy questionnaire and email it to me. You can copy/paste the page into an email to respond to it easily.

It's important to note that when you are looking at the dogs and/or puppies on my website for sale, I am describing them as accurately as possible. You will not find a sales pitch that advertises every dog I have as "the best in the world", because I don't believe any one dog is the "best in the world". Best is subjective, depending on who is looking at the dog. It is more important to me to correctly match the right dog/pup with the right owner and situation/job. When your dog arrives I want you to be happy with the dog you recieved, not wonder where the dog I described on my site is.

Should I happen to have the best dog in the world, I will be sure to note that in their description, but that will probably be the description you find in the "my dogs" section of this website :-). I strive for accuracy in an attempt to find each buyer their own "perfect" dog, be it a serious police K-9, a family dog that will act as a deterrent or a "sport" dog that will take you to the podium. Keeping in mind that everyones vision of perfection is different, my idea of a "perfect" dog for me, may not be your idea of a "perfect" dog. Therefore it's important I get as much information as possible about the type of dog you would like, so I can send you the right dog for you.

The following litters are being planned for 2010.  These are not "written in stone", if I feel a better match has come along, then I may switch males, but these are the current plans. I only breed a few times a year, so reservations are strongly recommended.

	Vassiliev d'CdH ("Mac") - FRIII x "Lilly" d'CdH - DOB 07/28/2010 1M 3F Will be large dogs, high drives, huge grips, stable with strong characters and some edge. Mac is known for his huge, crushing grips. Extremely athletic, stable, with crazy drives. Lilly is a happy, outgoing female with fast entries and full/hard grips. Linebreeding on Stan, Elgos, Toby II and Debber. Recommended for experienced working dog/Malinois owners only. Some of the comments on pups from Lilly's last litter are "One of the the best pups I've ever laid my hands on" and "not that I'm promoting, but when there's an outstanding litter with drives, drives, and desire, just got to talk about it" All are SOLD
	A breeding is being planned in late 2010 for Flip de las Torres de Luar - CSAU. The stud dog will be either Lory de Chantepierre - FRIII OR Henzo de la Ailzallerie - FRIII. I am considering a dual sired litter. Pups will be medium/large, high drives, full/hard grips, athletic, excellent character, and dark. Both combinations have the possibility to produce Tervuren.
	A breeding is being planned for 2010 for Pakita du Dantero - FR I (1st leg), CSAU, OFA Good, Elbows Normal, CERF and Arras - FRIII. These will be medium to large dogs with high drives, full/hard grips, social/stable personalities, and a dominant/serious edge. Recommended for experienced working dog/Malinois owners only. Litter will be linebred on Stan, Elgos, G'Bibber, Toby II and Debber. This breeding was postponed until the fall so I can continue to compete Kita throughout the summer.

Registration

All litters are AKC registered. All puppies are pre-registered with an approved name (litter letter, anything the owner wants, then du Dantero) and then the new owners are sent the final papers with a change of ownership. To expediate this, it is requested that all puppy people have a name picked out as quickly as possible, since the entire litters paperwork will be done at one time.

Pups are 1000.00 plus any shipping related expenses (crate, health certificate, shipping costs) with discounts given to proven working homes (people who have previously taken a dog to the top level in their venue). Deposits are accepted ($250/non-refundable) after a breeding has been done. Working homes are given preference. On occasion a female may be available on a co-own. Pups must be picked up or shipped by 8 weeks unless special arrangements have been made. For more information email me at malndobe@juno.com or call 760-723-3291.

DVD of all dogs under consideration for breeding, relatives, past litter, etc is available for 10.00 to cover the cost of the video and shipping.  Short video clips are also available on the website at Video's

The puppies will be extensively socialized and handled by both children and adults. As they grow various objects (metal, wood, plastic, etc boxes, tunnels, baby agility equipments, toys that make noise, etc) are introduced into the whelping pen, and later into the puppy yard for them to crawl under/over/through, carry around, play tug with etc. The puppies are all raised in the house, with plenty of outside play time weather permitting. Each puppy will recieve daily one-on-one sessions to play tug, learn to wear a leash, start basic obedience positions using food lures, etc. Temperament evaluations are done from birth, with a formal testing being done at 8 weeks. They are also evaluated for structure at 8 weeks by myself and a "non-partial outsider". A deposit will reserve a pup. Pups will be sold with a written contract/guarantee.
