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 planned, 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?
$4,500 per puppy. Payment plans are possible but situational and determined by length of time you need, puppies will not go to their new home until they are paid in full.
4. What about stud fee's?
Any future males who reside at Cinzac Kennels will not be available for stud duties at this time, but may be in the future.
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 only if we have suitable prospects after holding back something for ourselves. 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.
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 as well, should they be interested.
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 are hip and elbow scored after 2 years of age, as well as having eyes tested (gonioscopy). 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 occassionally 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. I want an Assistance Dog, will you sell one to me?
This question in particular was asked a number of times at the Dog Lovers Festival that took place in 2026 in Brisbane. The short version of a long and complicated answer, is no. We will not be selling a Yakutian Laika for the purposes of Assistance work. We are happy to provide recommendations to other breeders within the fab 4 however who have specialised programs and assessments for this kind of work.
12. 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.
13. 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.
