These boys are so sweet. My husband said they should start a boy band. I replied they could be the Stones, the Barking Stones! 😂

Lava is a stunning jet Black pup with just a snip of white on his chest. He will be quite curly. He honestly looks like a stuffed animal and is so so sweet and affectionate! He’ll be fairly small, likely 30-35 lbs. The perfect size for adventure or snuggling.

We believe that choosing a puppy is much more than just color and sex. We strive to produce beautiful colors but more importantly, wonderful temperaments. There is however, still some variation. We do temperament testing after 7 weeks so we can help you choose a puppy that matches what you’re looking for and that honors the pup.
