New Puppies! One week old.
FRANNY’S LITTER (dob 1/26/21) is a litter of black/white Springer Spaniel / Poodle crosses (Springerdoodles) born from my own most amazing dog with design to shape and train into service and therapy dogs. This is her second superpuppy litter. In her first, all 3 went on to become amazing service dogs including Shamrock, who is mine and is going to be a most attentive and gentle Big Brother. While there is already extraordinary interest in these puppies there are still 1 or 2 available for consideration. Too soon to share specifics with respect to temperament and energy levels and best partner possibilities, but we are raising/training/socializing them with an eye towards confidence, resiliency, excellent manners and social skills. Interested in partnering them as psychiatric or medical alert service dogs, facility or therapist adjuncts. Interested in watching them unfold? Join us for free weekly Tuesday nights (started 2/2/21 and running weekly through March 23, 2020) from 7:30-8:30 pm EST as we hold live zoom discussion sessions on where they are at developmentally. The puppies attend each zoom session. Learn more and register here.
Serious inquiries only. UPDATES WILL BE PROVIDED OVER FEBRUARY AND MARCH 2021.

UPDATE 2/6/21: ADOPTION OF CHASE PENDING
Chase (dob 9/20/20) is a Springer Spaniel / Poodle (Springerdoodle) puppy in training as a psychiatric service dog. Chase is amazingly cuddly and calm, loves to learn, playful and excellent with other dogs. He is currently 11 pounds and is expected to top out between 35-40 when full grown. He would be a good fit for those struggling with anxiety and seeking greater independence and confidence navigating through life. He will be spending some time in January in Columbus getting socialized to a college environment at The Ohio State University. Chase comes with a 6 months training agreement and will be available for placement beginning in February 2021. There is no hurry for placement — finding the right partner is key. Serious inquiries only.
