Foundation Lines

Resident sire and dam

Foundation Sire

Jasper of Alder Creek

A sturdy fifteen-inch tri-color hound with a steady, unflappable disposition around children and horses. Jasper displays exceptional scent drive on mountain trails yet settles instantly on his cedar dog bed indoors.

Foundation Dam

Rowan Meadow Rue

A compact thirteen-inch hare-pie female renowned for gentle household manners and joyful water retrieves. Rowan carries complete OFA clearances across hips, clear eyes, and zero genetic Musladin-Lueke syndrome markers.

Pacing and Timing

Seasonal breeding schedule

Early socialization protocol

Autumn trail companion pairing

Litters spend their initial eight weeks inside our domestic kitchen and fenced acreage, encountering raw floor textures, household sounds, crate introductions, and gentle adult dog interactions.

Planned mating between Jasper and Rowan scheduled for late autumn, timed deliberately with seasonal biological cycles. Each prospective family undergoes phone consultation and outdoor lifestyle questionnaire review before placement confirmation.

Health testing protocol

All puppies depart at ten weeks microchipped, dewormed on schedule, and accompanied by written veterinary certifications alongside five-generation pedigree archives.
