I’ll be hitting the callback list in the order of request.
Several were looking for chocolates, and while Bella usually throws s couple, this litter is all black. 7 pups, 4 boys 3 girls... So there may be a few available afterwards.
If you want to be added to the bottom of the list for contact ASAP, please let me know!
(These will be raised the same as the previous litters, dew claws removed, 3 weeks of superdog ENS therapy, two set of shots, four sets of wormings, food discipline, gate discipline, bark discipline, jump up discipline, etc. Conditioned and ready to train! AKC applications upon pickup.)
Follow the website and facebook page for methods and training progress. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240524/7e11ace289b5ac50dba86b459ac3e7b3.jpg)

They understood and responded to the initial gate training absolutely immediately. They’re not excited to greet me yet since I just started back with them, but they listened and understood the gate rules within the first one or two corrections. Really excited to get this batch established with the training!
They’re (happily and calmly) LISTENING!!!

Grandma time (my Mom was housesitting, spent 3 or more sessions per day weeks 3-6 interacting and gently teaching manners) really made this group an exceptional bunch. Great eye contact, great attitudes, super responsive to humans, not jumping and crazy… food manners well underway, gate manners established.
Looking for a GREAT dog?!?!

Open to trades and ideas.
Looking to award ONE scholarship/service puppy.
Wanted to show the enthusiasm under control. They're expecting snuggles, what they live for, but they listen...

He’s still looking for a new home, let me know if you or someone you know would like to talk about it! I’d love to mentor someone or some family through training him up!
Still looking for a service or scholarship recipient too. 4H? AKC Junior Hunter? Seeing Eye? Drug Sniffer? Police Station Mascot? These dogs can do anything you put their mind to! Let’s talk!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240807/d1ab52cdcec88ec5852cf8e1fa865744.jpg)

Do you have any females left or just the one male?
I have a guy on a back country hiking trip who wants to come by and "look at" the last girl on his way back to Port Townsend, so... I'm not "holding" her, I'm just not pushing her out there! I'll let someone take her out from under him, but I'll feel bad for the guy. He got a flash of service and emailed back saying he's planning to come by, and he seems a decent guy... One of those tricky situations.

This is “Moose” one of our pups who lives in Montana. He’s an all around hunter, shed hunter, and companion dog. His owner says he couldn’t live without him!
That’s the fulfilling part of breeding purebred dogs! I know what a companion hunting dog is worth to me, so I love seeing it come to fruition with my pups!
I just dropped off a Minnesota Puppy, Beau, who has already established with his owner and locked in potty training and leash training. His owner is very excited!
One of the lesser parts is when someone backs out of a commitment to a pup… five weeks later!
Female Pup is available again!
I’ve been extremely busy during this litter, I’ve been away from home three times for a total of almost four weeks. The pups have received great attention in my absence and have developed wonderfully well, but I have not marketed and promoted them like I should have.
13 week old pups, F, M, and M, still available from Bella and Milo. They are locked in with their puppy disciplines, sharp listening skills and super happy dispositions, and now they are going to start the next level of training this week. (Leash, Heel, Sit when stopping on heel without verbal command, Kennel, and Come after holding a sit and I walk away.)
They will likely have those before 14 weeks and I’ll incorporate a fetching session (with correct disciplines) as they advance.
Same price, and a short new-owner training session upon pickup.
The next two weekends is an ideal time to grab yourself a pre-trained Puppy!

GLWS and hope they all get to homes soon, I understand how frustrating the puppy committals can be at times. I certainly like your training regime and have mirrored some of it with both my litters. If I end up with leftovers I'll see if you're interested in a trade ;)

I’ve got so many things going with aging out teenagers in my house, several of which are my pack owners, I need to mothball the Kennel for awhile.
Have Lily’s litter planned for next month.
Might have some test litters with my wife’s Creme Retriever.
But other than that, RainShadow Labs is taking a break starting next year.

But the one I called Lie-down-boy, he’s going to be special.
He’s just got that communicative connection that you have to work at with the others. Some take a few days, some a week. My pups switch that on faster than most because of their structured upbringing… but he’s already got it. He’s just going to be special.
He’s got a mickey mouse collar on now.
I spent some time sitting with them, and they were very happy to get the personal time! Tends to go ‘paws up’ when a puppy gets excited to see you. Sister and brother took a few turns on their backs in correction. Lie-down-boy tried a few swipes, got verbal correction, eye contact, understanding, humble submission… even through the enthusiasm of getting pets and affection from the alpha human. He badly wanted to go paws up again, but you could see him resist, maintain eye contact, and look for my approval.
He’s going to be special.
They all are. But he’s a gem!

14 weeks tomorrow!
A little field trip to the big dog yard!
Last three of the second to last RainShadow litter, greeting the Mom (their half sister) of the last litter from RainShadow for a generation. (A dog generation, anyway!) Shutting down for awhile as we empty the nest a little bit.
Their mom in the background, Bella, the RainShadow Matriarch… with the sweet happy derpy white golden.
Let me know if you’re ready for a started pup!
