Our animals are like family to us. We love each one. This is not just a business. Our hearts are in this process every step of the way! While I am just starting out, I plan to be professional, and honest, in this process.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include 13-inch and 15-inch sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brown white and tan and black tan and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
