I'm D’Arcy D., the breeder behind Fortune Farms located in Arizona. A lifelong preservationist breeder who prioritizes temperament, health, and type per the breed standard. The goal is to produce healthy puppies that develop into well-rounded characters as adult dogs. I strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy.
Q. & A. with D’Arcy
What makes your program special?
My puppies are the product of years of experience, sound genetics and intensive early socialization. I make sure the puppy and new owner are matched based on temperament and lifestyle. I provide extensive support, including financial incentives for health clearances, and training and companionship titles. Each litter has an online family page where owners share photos, stories, and news.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
