Litter update on 03 Sept. •
As we approach Puppies being 8 weeks old, I will be sending out final payment requests. Final payment is due by September 11 prior to delivery/pick up of puppies. Thank you for giving my babies a great home. As a breeder, you become attached to each puppy that you raise and to see them bring joy to families makes it all that much more fulfilling. ❤️

Roger and Winnie's litter
Chris W.
Litter update on 19 Aug. •
The puppies are going on 5 weeks old. A couple are starting to look like show pups. Just want to remind everyone that it’s possible I may decide to keep a pup if they are deemed show quality. As a Breeder, we have the right of first refusal. The decision is not personal. It is why we breed, to create puppies that are better than the parents to maintain a healthy and quality breeding program. The choice of puppy is based on what is available to choose from after the Breeder has determined what will be made available.

Chris was amazing to work with. He was responsive, genuine, shared progress on the puppies as they grew and he gave them a great starting foundation. Our interactions during this process were easy and educational. Our new puppy is a wonderful addition to our family and to quote my son “makes the house feel so cozy”. Thank you Chris!
