Adult Dogs and older pups for sale/trade
Scroll down for photos, and current options.
As a breeder I almost always keep a pup or two from every litter to study, to evaluate, call it rookie camp, despite knowing there are only so many slots to fill and most will be raised only to be parted with later. There is no other way to be sure which ones I ultimately want, pups are placed too soon to really know. Those that remain are almost always my picks of their respective litters.
Every year the competition get’s tougher, the dogs that stay better, those that don’t make the cut better. It’s simple math, I’ve got to loose an adult every time a youngster impresses enough to warrant it. Or a young adult by the time I decide a change is not warranted. I suppose the best analogy would be a sports organization; every year they bring in new talent, by a variety of means, draft, trade, free agency. And every year they must get down to a certain number. It’s very much the same here.
Older dogs are subject to be moved on for a variety of reasons; some times to make way for new, different, or better genes. More often because I kept a youngster around to take a better look but decided not to give it a slot. And less often because they simply reached an age that warrants it.
These can still be fine pets, and good editions to a family. In any case chances are if they stuck around my place long enough to grow up, much less get old, they’re pretty good dogs. Such a dog often times appreciates becoming and only dog more than one who has been graced with that status from puppyhood. As a result they can, and often do, bond all the more intensely with the singular devoted owner or family they have at long last found, which is all any dog ever really wants.
And though it’s rare that I am asked to do so, I will take back any dog I’ve sold, for any reason. As such, time to time, I will try and place one of those dogs in this section if I believe it’s suited to be re-homed.
I would encourage anyone not attached to the idea of a puppy to consider a dog from this section, they are often the best value on a number of levels, particularly for those who have an immediate need a puppy can’t fill.

1: Purebred South African Boerboel ( aka S. African Mastiff )
Year old, intact, female, never bred, can be purchased with or without papers.
” Coomore’s Tanaii” is the least aggressive Boerboel I’ve ever owned, gets along well with all the other dogs, puppies, farm animals you name it. She’s relatively smart, and athletic, but a little shorter in stature than I like. She might be ideal for someone who wanted a Boerboel but was put off by the level of dog aggression often present, a very low liability factor on this Boerboel. See the three photos directly below.

2. Purebred Dogo Argentino
Year old, in-tact male,
“Oakee” came to me with his sister at about 10 wks from a breeder that had owed me two papered Dogo pups for 5 years…. and then did not produce the papers. I placed both him and his sister with people I trust, to raise, in case the papers came through. As yet they have not, although the breeder tells me the problems has been resolved and they will… I tend to think it’s true, but it is out of my hands. so I will sell him without papers, with the option to buy them also if they ever materialize. The friend that was raising Oakee, can’t continue to do so, but thanks to him Oakee is actually more worldly than most of my dogs, he’s lived in a house, loves to ride in cars, get’s on well with other dogs, great with kids, etc.
The breeder said he was BAER tested good in both ears, I never got that paper work either but he does seem to hear very well. He’s smart as a whip too. Sound, athletic without any physical issues that I can see.

“Silvio Berlusconi” Male, born July 21/2011
I’m leaning away from selling Silvio, but I may due a breeding that I would expect to produce pups just like him, so I’ve left him up for people to see. If you would be interested in one like him, or a black version, get in touch, those are the colors we got in that three way.
Again, my keeper, from his litter, one in which we were pleasantly surprised to get “blue” dogs. This is a striking young pup, again on track to be just a huge dog, I’m thinking 160 lbs perhaps, with a very unusual color he is one I am hard pressed to part with, but I’ve got his sister, and full time males slots here are the most competitive. That said, he won’t be cheap, shallow pockets need not apply. But if nothing else posting him here might serve to see how much interest there is in another breeding that might produce others like him, who could be had for considerably less.
Good with everything, kids, goats, chickens, other dogs, puppies even cats.
Seen below at 6 months and 95 lbs.
Seen viewer right at just under 8 months with his sister, Agressa Silva
