Craig was so personable and just a great guy all around. Initially, we had a really hard time finding the right breeder, but Craig made us feel like part of the family right away. He was very informative and made sure we were more than prepared taking our puppy home. The transition going home and everything leading up to it went very smooth. You can tell he takes great pride in all of his dogs and loves them very much. The dedication and attention he has in raising his pups in those first 8 weeks is something truly amazing. We took our puppy, Ranger, home 2 weeks ago and couldn't imagine a life without him. He knows several commands and taught himself how to use my parents' potty bell and doggy door. He goes everywhere with us! He loves baths, car rides, and meeting anyone and everyone! Ranger is quite the character, we have never met a dog with such personality. We are so happy with our experience with Buschur's Dream and we will definitely be back in the future!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
