Our goal is to produce well-balanced puppies and find them loving, responsible homes.

Q. & A. with Stephanie

  • What makes your program special?

    We are pennhip breeders. Our dogs hips and temperaments are 1st and 2nd priority. We also utilize CT scans, the gold standard in detecting elbow dysplasia. We test hips, elbows, cardiac, eyes, thyroid, genetic material, and any other questionable thing found. We test more than any other breeders we know.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include golden and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
