See planned breeding page for upcoming/Current breedings. Puppies are reserved based on inquiry. Cimar Reserves the right to be selective in the rehoming process to ensure each puppy is paired with the right family. Each planned breeding at cimar is done to work towards goals in our own breeding program. We are looking for our next show prospect/working prospect and breed representative as well as preserving the pedigree(s) and integrity of the breed. We simply cannot keep every puppy so we generally will have beautiful puppies available from each litter to exceptional family homes. Not all litters are raised or born here as we strive to not have any dogs in a kennel environment, so Cimar works closely with Co Owners. If there is not an upcoming breeding here and you are in search of a puppy you are welcome to still inquire for plans and or referrals. In this breed with the sometimes negative attention it receives it is important to focus on health and temperament and educated puppy placement. Experienced large dog owners are preferred. A dog is a lifelong commitment and one we take seriously.

New Puppy Feeding Guidelines
Here at Cimar all puppies are weaned to a Raw diet. We understand Raw is not for everyone so we hope to guide you to the easiest transition possible. For us we like how our puppies wean, grow and develop on raw in the early stages. We also appreciate to smaller lesser occurring stools and the minimal to no odor
*We feed primarily Beef and Chicken Proteins. Our raw product is ground so the bones are finely ground. This helps prevent choking hazards for puppies. Adult dogs can chew crunch and consume raw poultry bones.The product we use is called Blue Ridge Beef we feed a combination of Breeders Choice or Puppy Mix Combined with Chicken with Bone. If you are looking to continue with the same product we typically recommend feeding the same. You can click on the website above and see if there are distributors in your area.
*If you are unable to locate BRB in your area I suggest contacting local specialty pet supply stores to see what raw products they carry. Some that we consider acceptable are Instinct, Primal, Answers and Stella and Chewys. Some supply stores carry raw from local sources as well. Instinct is sold at petsmart if you are in a crunch. The new puppy should continue raw feeding for at least a week after arriving at the new home as the initial transition causes enough stress that dietary changes in that time can weaken the immune system.
*Puppies up to 4 months old typically eat 10% of their Body weight per day. A 10 pound puppy would eat 1 pound of raw divided among several feedings etc. This can be adjusted up or down depending on the individual puppy. After 4 months we typically reduce the puppy to %5 of their body weight and at 1 year decrease again to 3%. These are general guidelines but remember every puppy may have slightly different needs.
*If you are hoping to eventually switch to a kibble or dry diet we recommend as follows.
Feed a HIGH Quality premium performance food. We like Victor Hi pro Plus or Nutra Pro Plus and/or Royal Canin Large Breed Puppy/Adult. We hope for pet parents to have a good understanding that what goes into your pup as it is just as meaningful as genetics in terms of overall health.
DO NOT FEED A GRAIN FREE DIET!!!!!
*If transitioning we recommend as follows
Week 1 AM Raw, Mid Day small kibble meal (small), PM Raw (expect more poop)
Week 2 AM Raw, Mid Day and PM Meals Kibble (more poop)
Week 3 All Meals Kibble (poop volume should be normalizing)
We Do offer ALL of our dogs a supplemental probiotic from Natures Farmacy They also have great vitamins such as Ultimate but click HERE to be directed to the website for the probiotic I would recommend this for all puppies and adult dogs.
