Our love for our dogs and puppies shines through in every aspect of our breeding program.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our American Eskimo Dog puppies include toy, mini, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our American Eskimo Dog puppies are white. Newfoundland puppies include white and black, black, and brown. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?

Kristine G.
Litter update on 19 Jan. •…These pups have grown considerably! They’re growing in skills too. They’re being leash trained, potty training is in full swing, crate training is going great and they all know to come, sit, wait and watch. Every day is an adventure with them and they are beginning to go on walks off leash and learning to come quickly each time they are called. Their recall is wonderful! Each pup gets individual time as well as enjoying their littermates and the rest of our fur family. They love dogs of all sizes from our Newfoundland dogs down to their toy sized cousins. They are lovely dogs. We are beginning to teach them to show in conformation as well and are starting to attend show training this week! Wow! We picked our keeper puppy now it’s your turn to pick yours and have a wonderful new BFF as well.
