Puppies

About the Litter

OH MY FUR AND WHISKERS!

I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!
For a very important date!

Don't let this amazing opportunity pass you by!

Drink the elixir and enter the fantastical world where furry giants roam through your dreams.

This litter is bound to come and go like the Cheshire cat.

Quick, quick! Lickety split!

As a third generation, the puppies in this litter will be much more standardized in both health and temperament.

However, genetic diversity will be a strength in these puppies. High immune diversity allows each puppy a better ability to withstand many health issues in dogs.

A litter with lots of different possibilities within strong boundaries of health, stable temperament, and beauty.

APPEARANCE

Giant puppies are coming up! Puppies will range in adult weights from 120 - 140 lbs, with females being generally smaller.

Statistically, the puppies from this litter will have the following coat color possibilities:

1. 50% silver wolf sable
2. 50% black wolf sable
3. Possibility of pure white
4. 50% black mask
5. 50% wolf mask or white mask
6. 0% furnishings (mustache)
7. 0% feathering (long hair behind ears/legs and between toes)
8. 0% liver dilute
9. 87.5% amber/brown eye color
10. 12.5% yellow eye color
11. 50% double muscling

Some puppies will have a completely solid color with no white spotting on their toes, tail tip, chest/belly, and muzzle. Other puppies will show mild white spotting. A select few puppies will show highly slanted, bright yellow eyes. Most puppies will have amber or brown eyes. All puppies should have medium to long double coat types without feathering or furnishings. We do expect all ears to rise, although some may take longer to rise than others. Short, straight tails are expected. Puppies should be giant in size, standing 30 inches tall at the shoulders and weighing ~130 lbs as adults. A few puppies will be extra large in size, standing ~28 inches tall at the shoulders and weighing 100 - 115 lbs as adults.

INHERITED TEMPERAMENT

This litter is a THIRD GENERATION with standardized temperament options.

Some puppies will be more confident than others. All puppies will be submissive and affectionate with their people. Loving, devoted and high intelligence will be especially prominent. Some puppies may have more of a velcro type personality. Some puppies may vocalize when excited or needy. All puppies should have a desire to remain at home and stay close without a desire to wander or roam. We will note any deviation from our unique family companion dog inherited temperament.

HEALTH

Both parents have been DNA tested clear of over 250 genetically inherited canine diseases and have high immune diversity. The puppies from this litter will be third generation (F3) American Dirus dogs. This means that three generations of hand-picked DireWolf Dogs lie within the pedigree before the most recent crossbreeding.

The inbreeding coefficient for this litter is 7.8% on a five generation pedigree with 93% ancestor loss coefficient on a four generation pedigree. 

Puppies will range in price from $3800 to $4800 for pet quality and more for breeding/show quality.
