Hi Das...
I have received two emails from you. You are going about this the right way by contacting the ARPC and coming on here. I will have two litters next year that will be looking for forever homes. They will be dark. I have no problem shipping to California, as one of the pups from my current litter is being shipped there.
Lori Silverthorne will be having a litter in the spring out of the same male as my two anticipated litters.
Best of luck in your search. Finding a quality dark red puppy is possible, but you may have to wait. Lots of people will sell you a puppy, but it may not end up being the blessing you are hoping for.
