Meet the breeder
I'm Carole W., the breeder behind Bandsman located in Clermont, FL. Our program was built with care and intention in every step. We are passionate about the health and wellbeing of this breed, and we want our program to be an example of how to responsibly breed high-quality, healthy dogs. All of our dogs are genetically clear for the diseases we have dna tests for, either by test or by pedigree. Puppies are kitchen raised and allowed to explore their environment as early as they want to. We breed for show dogs and all of our puppies are conformationaly and temperamentally outstanding!
