We are very happy with Tails /Jake. He is doing better everyday. Went to the vet and all shots are updated and was put on his heartworm and tick and flea meds. Goes back to the vet in 2 weeks. He has stolen our hearts and is becoming more comfortable each day. Thank you for letting us purchase this awesome puppy.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
