1. Will you breed your dogs?
Currently we do not breed, however as our bitches are now of suitable age and we have frozen semen coming from poland we will proceed with carefully laid out plans to ensure the best pairings for improving structure and maintaining good health and temperaments.
2. What kind of Dogs do you breed?
At Cinzac we are proud owners of Yakutian Laika's, a primitive spitz type breed native to the Yakutsk region in Russia.
3. What are your prices?
Our prices for a puppy when we eventually breed will depend on the pairing at the time as different studs we select, may incur higher or lower stud fees. At present, we MUST import semen into Australia to expand upon the limited genepool, so we may incur slightly higher costs. You are welcome to enquire.
4. What about stud fee's?
As we do not currently own a stud dog, we do not have a price to charge for stud fees.
5. Do you have contracts on your puppies?
Puppies will be sold with a contract unique to each puppy buyer and their agreement.
6. Will you sell puppies on mains or limited registration?
We are willing to consider selling puppies with mains registration to show and sport homes and we will also sell puppies on limited registration to pet only or sport homes if they're not suitable for the show ring. We will not be doing co-ownerships unless we have an exceptional male puppy, that we can not keep on the property.
7. Do you offer support to people new to the show scene?
Yes, we are more than happy to speak to people who are considering becoming a show home and helping to guide them on their journey. We are more than happy to discuss show prospects with established show homes but believe the future of the sport and the breed rests with newcomers.
8. Do you health test your dogs?
The short answer is yes. Our dogs are BAER tested (occurs during puphood), tested for PRA and DM and will be hip, elbow and spine scored after 2 years of age, as well as having eyes tested. As results become available, they will be publically available on each dogs respective profile.
9. Do you work towards titles with your dogs?
Yes we do. We actively compete with our dogs in conformation and have earned a championship conformation title on both of our dogs, a novice and SprintDog title, and a Junior Courser (lure coursing) title while being awarded a class in show for our other dog. We are also intending to participate in additional sports once the dogs reach an age where they meet requirements to be permitted to compete. These sports being Lure Coursing, weight pull, Herding and dry land sledding as goals for sports that we would like to work towards. It is however first and foremost about the enjoyment and happiness of our dogs. If they do not like a sport, they don't have to do it.
10. What homes will your puppies be suitable for?
We will only be breeding puppies for conformation, sports and companionship homes.
11. Do you have a waiting list?
Yes, our waiting list will not be in chronological order as we can not guarantee every litter will have a puppy suitable for each puppy buyer's requirements. We will spend 8-12 weeks carefully watching our puppies, assessing temperament and structure before making a selection to hold 1-2 puppies back to further our own program, before then placing puppies with their new homes.
12. Do you follow any puppy raising protocol?
Yes, we will be implementing Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) for the first few days of the puppies lives and Early Scent Introduction (ESI), followed by puppy culture protocols. This form of stimulation and socialisation will help us to closer assess the temperaments and needs of our puppies and match them to appropriate homes while also giving our puppies the best start to life with their new families.
