Pregnancy confirmed! Puppies due October 1st!

This litter is perfect for a family companion and potential hunting partner. We are expecting the puppies have to have a very nice off switch with the ability to chill and relax in the house, but be ready to engage in any activity whether it is just a walk in the woods, occasional hunting adventure, agility, dock diving and more.

If vacations, school schedules, or any other personal plans interfere with your puppy’s scheduled go-home date, ask us about our Puppy Head Start Program! For RTK puppies, we offer this program at a discounted rate, giving you flexibility and peace of mind.

If you’re interested in being added to the waitlist or would like more information, please reach out:
