availability status
LAST UPDATED: AUGUST, 2023
We struggle to keep this website updated in real time, but do periodically make sure this list of available dogs is current.
Nevertheless, people still contact us only to ask if we are still active, breeding, and whether there are puppies available now or in the future. As they say on Craigslist, if the page is still up, it is still available. Please do not contact us just to ask this question; we are always extremely busy with the dogs and will not respond to this kind of inquiry when the answer is right here on the website.
If you are seriously interested in ANY dog on this page or the website, please fill out an application. It is impossible to reasonably discuss matching you and the right dog unless we have adequate information in the application to use as a starting point. We do not respond to e-mail inquiries about acquiring a dog unless we have an application.
For those looking for a puppy from an upcoming litter, approval of an application will reserve a prioritized spot on our waiting list.
available dogs
Some of the dogs below have pages with more information. Select links to navigate to more details where available.
planned litters
Many breeders list out their “planned breedings” for the next year or more and sell reservations in the form of deposits, which are often nonrefundable. We feel that approach is a bit of a fantasy.
You never know how the bitches’ heat cycles, stud or semen availability, or any other number of variables are going to come together. So we typically do not provide details here until we have a confirmed pregnancy.
However, since we have moved to a less frequent and limited breeding schedule, and because people are interested in our dogs and we want to see them in the best possible homes, we would still like to at least foreshadow some of the potentially exciting breedings we have planned
We are planning to attempt a few more breedings within our greater program later in 2023. Almost all the breedings will be between first-generation Paragon dogs, or by pairing a Paragon dog with an outside select stud and bitch.
What does this mean and why does this matter?
A breeding program should not be about pairing random dogs with random results. It should be about making informed, science-based decisions and advancing the breed as a whole. It should be a part of a breeding program with a larger view of successively improving the breed with every generation.
All of the planned breedings will be from health-tested dogs with stable Boerboel temperament, dogs that we know personally. We have a great deal of time studying the pedigrees, and in many cases have a line-breeding strategy at play that is allowing us to perpetuate the genes of the old working lines. In short, we expect this second generation of Paragon dogs to surpass our first generation.
Bookmark and check this page for confirmed pregnancies. We provide update in real time as we have news to share.
CONFIRMED litters
We have a very exciting confirmed pregnancy of Paragon Bunny x Clover K Bubba. We do not currently have individual pages up for each dog, but these links provide a great deal of information about each dog, including recent achievements in SABBS and AKC shows and appraisals.
This litter will represent the second generation of dogs in our program, and we expect that Bunny and Bubba will complement one another in ways that produce improved dogs in their progeny. We are currently accepting applications for this litter: first come, first serve.

BREEDING dogs
Our ultra-brindle stud Cain may possibly be available to a qualified and experienced Boerboel breeder, or as a pet to someone with a significant amount of guardian-dog experience. More information can be found about him on his linked profile page.
RETIRed dogs
Dhara is a 5-yeary-old bitch who came to use from South Africa. She is a sweet and confident dog that will make an excellent pet for someone experienced with guardian breeds. More information can be found about her on her linked profile page.
purchase restrictions
We have recently made the decision to no longer sell dogs outside of the United States.
pick-up and shipment
Pick-up is available for those who wish to travel, from near or far, to our farm in the greater Seattle metro area. We are 1 hour and 15 minutes from the Seattle airport.
Alternatively, people are often surprised that we can safely ship puppies and dogs to almost anywhere in the United States (sometimes including Alaska); shipment to Hawaii is not possible due to extreme import restrictions. Since the pandemic and with recent inflation, the cost of ground shipping has increased significantly, but is still an option.
Shipment details and fees can only be discussed after you complete an application.
Do not hesitate to apply for a dog, even if you are not local to the Seattle metro area of Washington State. Matching dogs with the right home is the hard part. Getting dogs to their homes is fairly straightforward.
