This sweet Yakutian Laika girl has unexpectedly become available. A couple who met her on Sunday absolutely fell in love with her, but I believed she was already spoken for at the time.

I didn't get their contact information, and I wish I had. It broke my heart to tell them she wasn't available. Because of that, I won't be accepting a reservation for a day or two while I give them a chance to see this post and reach out if they are still interested.

I'm going to try to get better photos of her tomorrow, but I wanted to get her posted tonight in case that couple happens to be watching the page. Undoubtedly, they know who they are. 😊

Ella × Ataman.

She is undoubtedly the last female puppy that will ever be available from Ella. Other than that couple, she will only be placed in a breed- and bloodline-preservation focused home.

When trying to preserve cherished bloodlines while still hoping for a few more years with our older dogs, sometimes the hardest choices are the right ones.

Because I am fortunate to have daughters from Sochi's previous litters carrying on her legacy, I chose to keep Capone and let Sochi's last daughter go to an amazing new owner and exhibitor in the breed.

Now known as Mya, she made her AKC show debut yesterday, earning Best in Open Show and 2 points!

I'm excited to watch her future unfold. ❤️

Available agouti boy in Texas. There are two handsome agouti boys in this litter from Astra. We will keep one for sure but having a hard time picking so both are available at this time. This boy is in Texas. I’ll get photos of the other boy, he is actually in Ohio at this time.

Wonderful outgoing boys that have done several weekend and a couple special events of puppy yoga. Very well started on crate training.

Absolutely amazing boys. It’s hard to not keep both. I can potentially deliver to the east next month and possibly to Arizona (still planning June out).
