Future Breeding Plans
"Look into the eyes of a wolf and see your soul"
| The Future Looks Bright
For Sansorrella Anglo Wulfdogs |
Coronavirus (Covid-19) Due to the pandemic we decided not have any puppies for a couple of years. Please email to register your interest in reserving a puppy from a future planned litter. Although any litters are primarily for the purpose of advancing the Anglo Wulfdog breeding programme, the litter will only go ahead if there is enough interest in homing puppies that are not being kept as part of the programme. enquiries@sansorrella.com |

Please Note: Prospective owners of these puppies should preferably have experience and be confident with large independent breeds and be able to put in time socialising and training. We only take a limited number of reservations in order to avoid disappointment but it is possible that there could be extra puppies available if larger than average litters are born. To find out if your family, home, lifestyle and experience would be suitable for owning an Anglo Wulfdog, please email enquiries@sansorrella.com For more information on the Anglo Wulfdog please see relevant webpage. |
| All Sansorrella puppies come from quality, health
tested parents and are reared in the home; which means they are
socialised with adults, children and other dogs from an early age and
are exposed to all the "sounds for life". Our puppies are
also trained to respond to a whistle and will reliably recall by the
time they leave us at 8 weeks old! Our puppies are: Fully wormed Socialised with adults, children, other pets and 'sounds for life' Embark tested Vet Checked First Vaccinated Microchipped - registered in the new owners name/address Registered with the Anglo Wulfdog register MONEY back guarantee if your vet finds a problem with a Sansorrella pup and it is returned within 72 hours (see our terms and conditions) Sansorrella Puppy Packs include: Anglo Wulfdog Registration Certificate 5 Generation Pedigree Certificate 4 Generation Photo Pedigree Full Embark DNA health report - tested for over 160 genetic diseases Embark DNA Breed Certificate Microchip Certificate Worming Certificate Vaccination Certificate Vet Certificate of Health Sansorrella Contract and Guarantee Diet, Care and Training Information leaflets - published by Sansorrella Acme Dog Whistle and Sansorrella safety Lanyard Supply of complete puppy food - that the puppy has been reared on in addition to BARF diet Miscellaneous leaflets - relating to products recommended by Sansorrella |
New for 2021 |
It has become apparent from dna testing that the wolf content down the generations of Anglo Wulfdogs varies considerably, even within the same litter, due to a phenomenon known as "genetic drift". This means the actual content isn't always as calculated by traditional mathematical means. Genetic drift is demonstrated very simply courtesy of this link Marbles in a Jar which makes it easy to understand this theory. Because of this variation we feel that it is very important to know the content of puppies before they go to their new homes in order to avoid an unsuitable puppy going to the wrong family home, which could cause problems for the owners in the future. Knowing the content makes it much easier to predict the potential behaviour of a dog so it can be matched with the right owner. Starting with our 2021 litters we will be Embark testing every puppy in each litter. This will be a costly process and part of the expense may have to be passed on in the price of these puppies, but the benefit to owners and puppies will be well worth the additional cost. The Embark DNA test will not only show the breed make up of each puppy, including the % of wolf content, but will also test for over 160 genetic diseases. The results for individual puppies will be included in the puppy pack for information and future reference and will make interesting reading for owners and their vets. Unfortunately there isn't currently a laboratory in the UK that can reliably give all the information we require so we have to send the DNA swabs to USA, which takes time. To further complicate matters the swab has to be taken at least an hour after the pups have fed from their mum to avoid any cross contamination. This part of the process is going to be difficult as mums don't normally want to leave their pups for more than a few minutes during the first few weeks, so it is unlikely that the opportunity will arise to obtain the swabs from each puppy until they are at least 3 weeks old. This only gives us a very small window within which to get the swabs sent to USA for processing and then to obtain the results back, but we are hopeful we can have the results before the puppies are due to leave at 8 weeks old. The first litter of 2021 will be a bit of an experiment to see if it can be done. We feel that the information given about the genetic health of each puppy makes the effort and expense worthwhile, even though all parents have already been tested. Potential owners will still be invited to visit the pups when they are four weeks old but as it takes several weeks to receive the results of DNA testing we reserve the right to advise against a particular first choice if we feel that pup is wrong for a particular family or situation. It will therefore be good if owners could have a first and second choice of puppy as it's very important for them to have the right puppy for them. Ultimately owners will have the final choice but with the DNA information it will be an informed choice! We have been mystified in the past that despite all the pups in a litter having been reared and socialised exactly the same, some owners really struggle with their puppies while others find them very easy. It wasn't until we routinely tested the DNA of a few puppies with the same parents, that were kept as potential future brood bitches, that we discovered the genetic drift - which could explain why some owners find these pups harder than others. |
All litters are part of a specific breeding programme and are registered with the Anglo Wulfdog registry, where health and temperament will be monitored and recorded in order to improve breeding lines and safeguard the future of our Wolfdogs. Before mating takes place every planned litter is 'tested' using a computer programme to ensure that we keep the COI (co-efficiency of inbreeding) to below 6.25%, calculated over the necessary 10 generations. All breeding dogs are "Embark" tested - this not only gives genetic breed make-up but DNA tests for over 160 diseases. Click the link on each dog's profile to see their full Health Test Report. As we only need to keep a few puppies from each litter to go forward into the breeding programme, there will inevitably be puppies surplus to requirements that will be available to pet homes. Puppies will only be sold to suitable and approved homes - please contact me for further details if you are interested in giving a home to a Sansorrella puppy or would like to become involved in the breeding programme. NOTE: As responsible breeders we will not let anyone have more than one puppy at a time. If we are aware that a potential owner already has another puppy of a similar age we reserve the right to refuse to sell them a Sansorrella Anglo Wulfdog puppy. Owners may have an additional puppy from a subsequent litter but it is important to bond with the first puppy and get some basic training in place before getting another puppy. If an owner has two puppies of a similar age they will bond with each other more than with the owner and training will be extremely difficult, if not impossible. The puppies will also form a dependency on each other which can create problems in the future. So please don't ask for more than one puppy or even consider getting a Sansorrella Anglo Wulfdog puppy if you already have or are about to have another puppy of a similar age. Come back later! |
