We have made the decision to keep the puppies on our place for awhile longer, allowing them to work and be taught by the adult working dogs.    

I feel that by keeping the pups until they are near a year old, will help to insure their success in a future home.    They will have been trained by their parents and the other working dogs on site.    We will be able to spot issues with temperment or behavior and resolve them before the pups are in the hands of someone else.    

Poyner Goat Co. advocates spay and neuter and we are involved in rescue.   If you breed, participate in rescue!    Be willing to take back your dogs should them not work out, and be prepared to offer advice to novice dog handlers
