Adult Dogs & Older Puppies For Sale
Dakota Winds Ranch
Since 1988!
On this page, we may have adult dogs available for whatever reason. Some may be placed with breeding in mind, others can not. Some may be able to be shipped, and some may not. As with our puppies, these dogs may only go to good homes! We will just keep them here before we would place them in bad homes. We have the right to change our minds on any if they are not yet sold. Do not argue with me if I say that I cannot ship a particular dog. It is either due to a past experience that I do not feel that the dog would be OK to ship, or, in the usual case, that we have a very small airport that is simply not equipped for large dogs.

A few older puppies are available now. All are very healthy, well socialized puppies!

Benefits of an older, trained puppy are:

All puppy vaccinations are completed. This puppy will not need anymore vet care, other then spay/neuter, and the routine yearly vaccinations. (We will get any male puppy or dog that is over 5 months old neutered for an additional $100)

Chances of any puppy illnesses, diseases, or parasites are far less with an older puppy! This puppy received all of its puppy vaccinations, including rabies, before you receive it. This puppy also is regularly treated for ear mites, fleas & ticks. By this age, this puppy is already mostly immune to most internal parasites and other puppy diseases.

These days, our lives get very busy! Especially during the summer months! So, an already trained puppy is a great way to receive a new puppy, without all of the hassles of training, when time is already limited!

Individual personalities, abilities, temperaments, and trainability are far more known!

An already trained puppy is already accustomed to a crate & traveling. Therefore, this puppy is not likely to get car/plane sick, or cry or mess in a crate, or at night. An older puppy does not need to be taken out to potty during the night.

Please give your new, already trained puppy about 3 days to a week to settle into his or her new environment! There is a chance that the puppy may make a limited number of mistakes while getting accustomed to his or her new home & family.
