JUNE 13TH, 2006 LITTER OF TEN PUPPIES SIRED BY CH. MYSTIC'S TARTAN ("KILTS") OUT OF CH. LAURDAN'S STARBURST ("TABITHA").

This very exciting litter (six beautiful black/white puppies; 3 girls, 3 boys) was whelped May 4, 2006.

The dam is “Luna” (Ch. Laurdan's Moonlight Serenade) and the sire is “James”. James was the No. 1 ESS and No. 1 Sporting Dog in 2006. He was the top ESS in the breed for 2005, as well. “Luna” was sired by “Dexter” (Ch. Serenade’s Storm Warning), the top producing black/white sire in the history of the breed.

See them now in Recent Winners & New Champions.

Our dams are happy, healthy and love being moms.

Our puppies are naturally reared and weaned on a home-prepared diet we’ve been feeding our dogs since 1994. On this diet, our dams have large litters, whelp easily and have more than sufficient milk supply to nurse their babes through weaning.

We often hear the comment, “how calm your puppies are.” We attribute this to their natural diet which does not include artificial sweeteners and sugars used in some commercial dog foods for palatability. These additives can create hyperactive and objectionable behavior.

Between ten and twelve weeks is a critical socialization period among litter mates and the dam, so we do not place puppies before that time. We find twelve weeks of age to be an optimum time for puppies to leave their dam and adjust to a new home.



All puppies are checked by a board certified veterinary ophthalmologist and a general practitioner for congenital and hereditary defects.

When placing puppies we try to make the right match and spend a considerable amount of time working with new owners and educating them on the breed.

Early socialization is important. If you are interested in purchasing a puppy from Laurdan, please answer this questionnaire to assist us in making the right puppy match to suit your lifestyle.
