Breeding here at Allegro is not undertaken lightly! We are not simply putting together 2 convenient dogs. Litters here are well thought out, researched, and have appropriate health testing done on the parents. We have spent nearly 10 years involved with this breed so while the Charm Litter was our first, we have had many mentors along the way who we believe have set us on the right course. Health and temperament are our very first priorities…I’d much rather have a whole litter of great companions who don’t make the cut in the show ring, than a litter of big show winners who break down in old age or have faulty temperaments. Since good structure is a necessary component of sound health, it is likewise a very important part of our breeding plans even aside from our own hobby of dog shows.

Just as our dogs live among us as family members full-time, puppies will always be born and raised in our home.  They will be carefully handled often by us and our children as they grow up.  They will be very well socialized, temperament tested, and litter trained (which helps with housebreaking) before leaving for their new families. They will also have all age appropriate vaccinations, worming, microchip & chip registration, and will be AKC registered. Companion puppies will have AKC Limited Registration and a spay/neuter contract. Show/Performance puppies will each have an individually developed contract based on agreed-upon terms.

Planned Litters

We are currently thinking of planning another litter with Lizzie for either fall/winter of 2010, or spring of 2011.  Stud dog not decided for sure yet but will likely be brindle or black.  If you’d like to be kept up to date with plans, please drop me a line!
