Here are the dogs we have that are too young to race at the moment - the future of our kennel! Select puppies from our litters may be available for sale - send us an email at meredith@funontherunkennel.com if you'd like to be on our future puppy list!
Future Breedings:
Our breeding goals (in order of most important to least important):
Producing AHE clear dogs who will be succesful in harness into their golden years, bred and whelped naturally
Producing dogs that are not human or dog aggressive, with a strong work ethic, good feet and coat, and ravenous appetite that can excel in harness
Producing dogs that do not get injured, or when they are injured they recover quickly
Producing dogs that excel in whatever race venue they pursue (distance, mid-distance, dryland, etc), or as sporting dogs/pets
In order to ensure that we are meeting our breeding goals, we require our puppy/dog buyers to remain in contact with us for the dog's life, so we have more data to evaluate on how our dogs turn out as they age, and what health problems may crop up in our lines.
Contact us if you'd be interested in buying one (or more) of these future pups. Parents pedigrees available upon request. Contact us for info on pricing.
Proven stud dogs:
The following are our proven studs, and/or those who have passed all health testing and have not yet sired a litter. Contact us for pricing and information about our stud contracts if you'd like to use any of our dogs to sire a litter for the future of your kennel!
