Now that he's 9 months old with two titles, I guess we should introduce the keeper of our Dizzy & Ginny breeding on this page. 😂 Eventually I'll figure out how to connect the Instagram to the page.

Hawks Nest Radio Flyer DN DJ • Aero

Aero has hit the ground running - quite literally! He loves his birds, loves jumping into the pool, and holds a stack like an adult dog. He's very much a classic toller...if he's not working, he's making something my problem. 😂

Hey Everyone!!

Lucy and Duke's puppies were born on 4/5, welcoming 3 boys and 3 girls! We are really liking how the puppies are developing, very brave puppies - some more independent than others! Three in particular LOVE to climb. Most are spoken for, but my sport home needed to wait for the next litter (life changes) and so I do have availability to a sport home. No sport experience needed, we're willing to mentor anyone interested in getting started!!

Nobody panic, I'm making a post! This page gets left behind a lot, the best place to follow updates from us are here:

We do have some puppy information! Ginny was bred to Dizzy, and we had 5 puppies born 1/29/25. We do have a male available to a sport home after someone needed to move to a summer litter. You can find our puppy application and parent information/clearances here:

We have some updates at Hawks Nest!

First, we dont update this page much. Facebook makes pages and groups time consuming to manage, and with multiple social media platforms and a website, we have chosen to just do big announcements here.

For all the latest happenings, show wins as they happen, announcements, what we're up to, ect, head over to: www.Instagram.com/Hawksnestkennel

Second, we have upcoming breedings and have opened our applications in anticipation. Our current plans are as follows:

July 2023: Lark has been bred to Vail, and puppies are due the end of July. This list is full, with the exception that we are looking for one sport home in the North East region for a male. This litter is in the PNW and we would love to bring these genetics East.

Late Summer 2023: We anticipate breeding Lucy in Aug/Sept. Lucy is a very drivey girl and we are only looking for active homes for her. Stud is being finalized and will be announced shortly.

Winter 2024: Pending clearances, we are anticipating breeding Ginny in January 2024 to Henry, our import. We are looking for a mix of sport and pet homes.

The application can be found here: https://hawksnestkennels.com/
