Born and raised in our home, never a kennel, with early neurological stimulation and age-appropriate enrichment from day one.

Litters & Roadmap
No litters yet, and that's on purpose
We'd rather be honest than quick. A good litter is the product of cleared, well-matched parents and a lot of patience. Here's exactly where we are on the road to our first puppies, earliest 2028.
The Road to Our First Litter
A transparent timeline
2026Right now
Building the foundation

What a Black Warrior litter will be
We're designing our program now so there are no surprises later. Here's the standard every future litter will be held to.
Sent home ready
Vet-checked, age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, started on potty training, and matched to your family, with lifetime breeder support.

No waitlist, just a conversation
How this works, honestly
| Is there a waitlist? | Not yet, and we won't pretend otherwise. We're years from our first litter, so there's nothing to sign up or pay for today. |
|---|---|
| Why reach out now? | If our program resonates with you, we'd genuinely love to know you. Good matches start with a real relationship, not a spot in a queue. |
| When will deposits open? | Only once a pairing is confirmed and both parents are fully cleared. Earliest 2028, never before. |
| How will families be matched? | By temperament and fit, in conversation with you, never first-come, first-served alone. |
No rush, no pressure
We'd love to hear from you
