Raider MH x Ember

When we were really thinking about who we wanted to be the sire of Ember’s first litter, we kept coming back to Raider. This cross just checks all of the boxes of the multiple factors that we take into consideration when coming up with our parings.  These two complement each and these puppies will be the total package! 

This cross will produce puppies that will have the ability to do any type of work (hunting, competition & SAR), still make phenomenal companions and be head turners in the process! 

Raider turned 12 years old early April, so we had a semen analysis completed on April 29, 2026. He is semen quality was still outstanding at 783 million with 90 to 95% excellent motility. The reproductive veterinarian also commented on how good Raider looked physically and would never have guessed he was 12. With that, we officially decided that he will be the sire of Ember’s first litter. 

Ember is due around October 21st, and the puppies will be ready around December16th (whenever they turn 8 weeks old). 

 

We have started an interested list and will begin accepting deposits once the pregnancy has been ultrasound confirmed.

Ember is an absolutely gorgeous dark fox red female! She has the absolute sweetest  and silliest personality. Ember absolutely loves to please and it shows in all aspects of her. In the field she is a team player and loves to work with you. She is a good marker with a great nose. She has been very easy to train for hunting. So much just came naturally to her. She has the energy and the drive to want to work all day, but doesn’t need too in order to be good in the house. Ember is very affectionate and loves to cuddle. She will literally try to get as close as she can and just lean in for loves. Ember is a true all-around gem! I am very excited for her first litter!
