Maralynn Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 I was going to post this several weeks ago before Kipp was diagnosed with cancer. Then I debated waiting for a while but kinda I need something else to think about and want to get some feelers out there in case it takes a while. So I'm looking for a pup. I'm in MI but willing to travel. What I like in a dog - confident, bold, a bit pushy, keen. I like the dogs that you need to put the brakes on just a bit. I would like one from parents with no noise sensitivities. Most likely will focus training in SAR/Detection work. Time frame - this coming summer/fall. And, all other things being equal, I prefer a smooth coated prick eared dog (since they're not uncommon in well bred dogs...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Maybe you need to talk to Julie P whose predilection for prick-eared smoothies is well known...even if she is in NC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentleLake Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 ^^ I thought the same thing. (Great minds and all . . . ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urge to herd Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 That's exactly what I was thinking! In a way, it's like looking in your own backyard. Ruth and Agent Gibbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Beer Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 I don't have any suggestions, but I just want to wish you well with your search. While no dog ever replaces another, I don't know where my mind and heart would be right now if we weren't anticipating the arrival of our coming puppy. I hope you find a great pup!

Carson Crazies Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Nicky Noodle says he's the dog for you. I'll keep my ears open for you. Are you specifically in the market for a pup? ps - I've missed a lot - so so sorry to hear about Kipp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maralynn Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Yes, I'm looking for a pup this time around I've never had one before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Mara, Do you ever see smooth coated, prick-eared dogs in your area? Most of the dogs I know come from the same lines, but then you can see that Robin Q has one that looks very much like mine but from very different lines. I wonder if it wouldn't make sense to go to some trials (if you can), find some dogs you like and then see if anyone is going to be breeding? I can PM you the breeder I know who regularly produces dogs with the look you like. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippin's person Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Mara, I can keep my ears open for any litters being bred locally. Don't know of any right now but will let you know if I hear about anybody planning a litter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maralynn Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Any info would be great at this point! I haven't seen any locally - but I've pretty much just gotten out to SAR related stuff for the last couple years since I've been busy with school. I've emailed a couple people on the east coast that have dogs that seem to fit what I'm looking for (came across Joyce Grier's Jim mentioned a few times and I like the blips I've read) and emailed for further info about the dogs and inquired about planned litters. I'm going to email Kipp's breeder but I'm not sure that he has the same lines. But he'll know the type at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Mara, I sent you a message via this forum. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 My boy is a prick eared smoothie. I would recommend his breeder! They are in Indiana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
