Meet the breeder
I'm Polly J., the breeder behind Great Explanation located in Union, MS. We love to responsibly raise and train our puppies so they have the tools to be well-rounded, beloved family members. We keep a variety of factors in mind when choosing dogs to breed, including health, temperament, pedigree, and complementary traits, so that puppies can inherit the best of both parents.
