Our Sire and Dam are both AKC registered. Our Sire is health, genetic tested, OFA certified for hips and elbows. He scored excellent in both areas. Our Dam is health and genetic tested.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
