Spinone Litters Puppy Application & Warranties
Available Puppies-Updated March 2024
 
Find A breeder who will be there for you through the long term.
RED FLAG-Watch out for Breeders who only show "genetically tested" rather than doing all the required health screening. If the Spinone breeder is stating that the sire and dam are DNA tested, ask Breeder what they are DNA tested for. Unless the Breeder is testing for cleared C.A. (Cerebellar Ataxia), as of yet there's not much information in the Spinone genetic database to identify markers for diseases.
Remember, while health screening of breeding stock cannot guarantee that your puppy will be excluded from any of these problems, the risk factor is mitigated substantially.

Selincourt in 1683 wrote about this breed in his book "Le Parfait Chasseurs" He called him Italian Griffon. He has strength and brains and gentle nature which makes him useful for hunting in rough fields and swamps.

Thank you for inquiring about our puppies

Mountain Valley Spinone have older puppies available that were born on August 8th. They are house broken, crate trained and ready for their new home. These pups are Confident and well socialized. Very Sweet, cuddly and always eager to please. Best yet,
sleep through the night! A great example of the breed. Our puppies come from Quality hunting lines. Our sires and dams and any that MVS recommends, are health screened for sound genetic quality.  We are committed to breeding happy healthy puppies. Mountain Valley is located in Driggs Idaho. These Beautiful puppies have parents who have health clearances. They are AKC registered, come vaccinated, micro chipped, dewormed, kibble to get them started, blanket, toy, puppy book explaining the breed, what to watch out for with medications, sensitivities to anesthesia, puppy's shot record, quick facts about the Spinone breed, a schedule for vaccinating and the risk of over vaccinating, what to look for and what to avoid when buying your dog food, Spinone are prone to bloat and torsion, information on the health risk of early spay and neuter and more.    

MVS averages one sometimes two litters per year and we quite often whelp litters for other breeders. If we do not have a pup available for you we are in contact with other Spinone breeders who are whelping litters. I've have been breeding since 1999. My kennel is a dedicated full time way of life with a mission to provide the highest quality pets. We strive to treat our buyers and their pets with the highest level of care. Mountain Valley is a place where intimacy, trustworthiness and honest communication to help us to maintain lasting relationships with our clients. Remember, I will be there down the road for any help and advice or to take back a pup/dog anytime with no questions asked. If you want to move forward you can send in a contract with a deposit. If you're looking for a puppy in the future, we're more than happy to keep your name.

If we don't have puppies we will refer you to another reputable breeder. It is important to insist on a minimum set of standards when acquiring a Spinone puppy. A good breeder should be able to demonstrate testing of these issues by either providing a link to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals records, CHIC records through AKC or they should be able to supply copies of the certified paperwork they received after the test screening was completed. If they do not, or are not willing to provide this information, search out a breeder that is willing to disclose this information. Your breeder should offer a minimum of 1-year written guarantee against genetic health conditions. Your breeder should be able to be there in the future for you and your puppy.

We warrant our puppies: Free from any debilitating, life threatening, hereditary diseases or conditions for the first year of life. We have done all that is humanly possible to breed dogs of good health.
We do not breed dogs with a history of Cerebellar Ataxia. Dogs chosen to be bred or dog's sire and dam have DNA markers indicating it is clear of Cerebellar Ataxia. AHT research has indicated that the test is 95-98% accurate. CLEAR dogs have 2 copies of the normal gene and will neither develop Cerebellar Ataxia, nor pass a Cerebellar Ataxia gene to their offspring. This DNA test detects markers close to the gene responsible for CA.
We do not breed dogs with hip or elbow dysplasia, or any other debilitating condition or terminal illness. 
Eyes on the sire and dam are CERF approved.
A pup developing any of the a fore mentioned conditions or diseases can be returned and will be replaced, free of charge, with a pup from another litter, or monies refunded (not including any shipping charges or veterinarian cost) The pup must be returned to seller with current shot record and AKC papers.
