Available older puppies - Tanqueray and Jinx

Jinx (6 months)

This blog has been severely neglected, so I will start with an apology. I am still actively breeding and online. The Blackthorn Facebook group has been the best way to stay in touch with information about me and my dogs. I have a few people petitioning me to take some of my Facebook posts and make them blog posts, so perhaps they will show up here in the near future.

Tanq - 8 months

Jinx (6 months)

 Today, I want to write about two gorgeous young sable girls that I have available -- Tanqueray and Jinx (click on their names for pedigree information). Tanq is 8 months old and Jinx is 6 months old. Both are house trained and crate trained and travel well. They have been raised in the house (and were not raised together -- they have both spent time living as house companions).

Tanq - ready to go, wherever that may be

Tanq (born Nov. 2018) -- energetic and loving with a good foundation in tracking and some basic obedience work. DDR & Czech bloodlines. At this age, she is not interested in doing ragwork or bitework (she is more interested in being social with the helper). She could be a really fun dog to work in various sports or SAR. She loves to swim and train for food. Good with other dogs -- she's been around large and small dogs and cats. Reliable in the house while supervised. Not a couch potato, but she settles nicely in the house if given some interaction and exercise. 

Tanq has her mom's (Nemi's) joyful and open approach to life -- she will keep you laughing every day and will be up for almost any activity you are interested in. She is available to a sport or active companion home.

Jinx (6 months)

Jinx (born Jan. 2019) is from working German, Czech, and DDR bloodlines. She has been started with some obedience imprinting and is showing promise in doing drivework/ragwork with a helper. She loves to train and is a wonderful companion in the house or out being active. She enjoys swimming in the pool and is very neutral with dogs she knows (and is OK with small dogs). She can be very crate reactive with other dogs and would do better with a handler who has some experience with GSDs. She is a dog who goes forward when startled or worried, so she's not going to be a marshmallow.

Jinx is available to a working/sporting home only -- but not to a kennel situation. Possible co-ownership with the right home. She's a gorgeous girl with a lovely temperament to match.

More pictures of both girls can be found here.

Both girls will be available only to situations where they will be companions first -- no kennel situations. They will be sold with my standard puppy contract (breeding rights only after xrays and performance title/certification). Price will reflect the foundation training and care that has gone into them, so they are not available for less than puppy price. Shipping not available for either girl -- you have to come pick them up in Virginia.
