Registered Treeing Walker Coonhounds
from
White Deer Preserve
When you decide to purchase a Treeing Walker Coonhound from White Deer Kennel, you are not just buying a hound! You are getting the best genetics that we know how to provide for specific hunting and/or show requirements and challenges. Also, you are getting a hound that is well socialized and healthy! A happy, healthy hound is a dog that will work for you and give you the best performance in the field or on the bench up to their maximum genetic potential.
 |
Before mating takes place, we monitor the prospective parents for optimum health and breeding condition. Our husbandry includes booster vaccinations and persistent worming before whelping as indicated; based on our laboratory monitoring for specific parasites, together with optimum nutrition intake and exercise. Maternal antibodies are passed in the colostrum when the pups are whelped and they first begin to nurse. We want the pups to receive the maximum antibody levels possible through the colostrum. This is accomplished through booster vaccination of the gyp. |
|
Once a gyp is bred and we are certain that she is gravid, we post this information on this web site, detailing the pedigree of both parents and what we perceive the outcome will be for the particular mating. |
|
After we announce that a mating has taken place, and we believe that the gyp is pregnant, we begin taking reservations for pups. We will take up to 8 pup reservations (4 male and 4 female) for each bred gyp. The price per pup from this point and up until the litter is 8 weeks old is $400.00US; with a 50%deposit required to secure your reservations in the amount of $200.00 US, with the balance due at the time the pup is shipped or picked up. |
|
From the time the pups are 8 weeks old and up until the time they reach 16 weeks, the price is $450.00US; with a 50%deposit required to secure your reservations in the amount of $225.00 US, with the balance due at the time the pup is shipped or picked up. |
|
For pups between the ages of 16 weeks old until they are "started", the price is $500.00US; with a 50%deposit required to secure your reservations in the amount of $250.00 US, with the balance due at the time the pup is shipped or picked up. |
|
Started pups (usually around the age of 4 1/2 to 5 months of age and older) are $750.00US and up, depending on the individual hound, how they are progressing with training, and their individual performance, confirmation, and potential. |
Pricing Summary:
|
From conception to 8 Weeks of age = $400.00 |
|
From 8 Weeks of age to 12 Weeks of age = $450.00 |

|
** - Exceptional Performance and/or Conformation Competition prospects will be priced on and individual basis, including "Litter Pick" pups of either sex starting at $750.00 each; male or female. |
Reserving Your Pup: Depending on the expected litter size, we accept reservations for up to eight (8) puppies; Four (4) females and four (4) Males. Once the litter is whelped and stable (at about one week of age) we will then make adjustments for the number of puppies and sex ratio. This information will be posted on the website for each expected litter and updated as deposits are received. Verbal and email reservations for your hound will be held for a maximum of 72 hours, pending receipt of payment.
Health Considerations:
|
We use the best vaccines, wormers (Anthelminthics), nutrition, and nutritional supplements available in the market place today. |
|
Pups are vaccinated with the appropriate choice of vaccines at 6 weeks, 9 weeks, 12 weeks, 16 weeks, and 1 year. |
|
We "worm" as indicated. This means that we don't just "worm", just to be worming! We routinely monitor our pups and adult dogs for all parasites, both internal ("worms") and external (fleas, ticks, etc.). Further, we just don't "shotgun" worm our dogs, but rather use specific anthleminthics (wormers) for specific infections, based on our laboratory findings. The practice of "shotgunning" only makes parasites more resistant to future treatments. Heartworm preventative measures are started at an appropriate age and dogs are monitored for micorfilaria. |
|
Before breeding, our females are checked for Canine Brucellosis to maintain a SPF (Specific Pathogen Free) Brucellosis Kennel. |
