Q. & A. with Kristine
What makes your program special?
limited breeding, we only breed quality! takes a lot of time and effort to do so. We have a small breeding program. We don't believe in having many dogs. They don't live in kennels. They are our pets first and foremost. Perspective owners are carefully screened.
Thank you
