**No need to worry about a 'winter' puppy and housebreaking,
because we litter box train all of our puppies and they are generally pretty
reliable with this method when they go home at 9 to 10 weeks!
When spring hits, you can start transitioning them
to also go outside! If you don't
care for the potty box idea,
don't worry.. Silks LOVE the snow! lol

Adult Dogs Available

Sometimes I have to make the hard decision to downsize,
and so occasionally, I will have an adult available to the right home.

Info about our breeding program of Havana Silk Dogs at ERAS:

All of our Silk Dog pups are pure bred puppies and registered with the Havana Silk Dog Association of America.

Our breeding dogs have:

* Completed all their Health Screening required by the HSDAA
* Straight forelegs
* A Unique topline
* A Springy Gait
* A Silky Coat
* An Almond Eye
* The Correct Outline
* The Correct expression and head
* A Wonderful happy temperament
* Passed a strict evaluation by the HSDAA for certification.

We hold the same high standards of health testing with our Biewer breeding program.

All of our breeding dogs are health tested and have a current CERF exam and number,
have OFA of hips and patellas done and are BAER tested.
We also run SA320's (a comprehensive blood test) on our breeding dogs,
so we can be assured that they have healthy liver and kidney function.

All of our breeding dogs also are soaped up (and shown 'naked') and photographed for evaluation,
to see what's under that coat, not only as puppies but as adults also, as things can change!
The soaping is not only to make sure we are not breeding any crooked fronts (see our pages on CD,
but to also see our dogs 'naked' so we can better evaluate their angles and conformation.
We strive to breed only the best Silk Dogs we can and
have given ourselves very high standards from which to work from.

If you're interested in a puppy from us now or in the future,
email (below) for our information email and puppy application/questionnaire
so you can begin the process of becoming approved to obtain one of our happy beautiful pups.

Older Retired Show/breeding Dogs

We occasionally have an older Silk Dog who is retired from our breeding program
whom we'd consider placing in a GREAT home where they would be spoiled and adored.
All of our adult dogs are fully health tested, healthy, socialized and very friendly to everyone

While none of them have been raised with small children
we feel that any of our dogs would do great
with a family with children who are used to dogs
or are at least 8 or 9 yrs old and know how to respect a dog.
They are very used to canine companionship
so it would be so nice if they had a canine sister or brother in their new home!

Better yet, if we have two girls available, consider adopting them both.

Two Silk Dogs are actually better than one,
as they provide great companionship for each other
when they have to be alone!

It's very difficult for us to rehome any of our dogs,
as they have been part of our family and loved so much
but it is also sometimes necessary to consider it, since we are breeders.

If you might be interested in being considered for one of our special dogs
please email me to see who we may have available.
thank you
